Season of sumptuous stupidity

Things I hate about December:
secret santa. Do I need to explain about stupid gifts which end up in landfill?

Things I like about December:
The annual emergency services' food bank charity drive. I've started buying up cans and jars and bags of non-perishables ready for the big drive through our town next Thursday evening.

Oh God, don't mention secret Santa to me! The girls at the gym are all for it, and I'm outvoted.

You know my view on excessive and pointless present-giving generally. I mentioned to the girls that I give the boys a present each for Christmas and then they choose their presents for the poor from the Oxfam Unwrapped catalogue (http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/Hub.aspx?catalog=Unwrapped).

You should have seen their jaws drop! I think they consider it akin to child abuse. :))
