And people call me an egomaniac.

Don't be silly. They call you a hell of a lot worse than that.

I think now might be a good time to mention that I'm afraid of phones.

I'd have to agree-- most people see xmas more as a Family Gathering than as a religious thing nowadays. It is kinda interesting the point you bring up though Jarre-- how many of us are turning into Scrooges because we're not the kids getting showered with gifts anymore? :p

I think its more of "Your expected to buy" than anything else. My broither is teh biggest scrouge in the world, though if you don't buy him an his family anything he'll complain like F. I've spent this year about £100 on him, his wife and their 2 young kids. what will I get from him? A DVD. But if he can get it from a bargin bin he will, he earns twice as much as me but you'd need the jaws of life and a 200 tonne ram to prise open his wallet.

How very true! lol My son noted this a couple years ago when he was out buying gifts. "Christmas isn't as much fun anymore. I actually have to do work now!" As a parent its always fun to see your kids realize the hardships of being an adult and then sympathize with you!
