Not watching the same game over 400 times is probably a good start.
Gifts were once cherished. When I was little we were fairly broke and living week to week. Gifts that I received, I cherished and looked after. Now it's an expectation. It's pathetic and sad watching what our society is becoming. I could happily do the whole christmas thing without gifts.I always rolled my eyes at the fact that a religious celebration was co-opted for little more than galling displays of consumerism. Pretty good example of western """culture"""
That said, I was always a bit envious of the kids that got to celebrate Christmas. Mainly for the presents. There was no large scale gift giving for Eid al-Fitr, at least not in our family.
I do like this time of the year though. The decorations, the carols, everyone being a bit more festive. Was considering putting up a tree this year (pretty common thing to do even in the Muslim world) but just couldn't be arsed.

best ever xmas presents i got-
- barbie doll and a puzzle
- table tennis table
- computer
(last 2 were big gifts between me and my two brothers)
Kids dont need a tonne of s**t, especially if they're getting gifts from aunties/uncles, grandparents etc. IIRC my parents spent around $100 on each of us when we were teenagers.
The smart watch had me thinking someone's gone overboard on their kid.
Every year seems to eclipse the last as the worst Christmas ever. In a lot of ways I was content with what became the norm (morning = family time, rest of the day ?? spend with friends or neighbours).
I need some serious block out curtains in my bedroom. Am wide awake 6am every morning without fail, from the ******* sun coming into the room.
Zero presents purchased this year
Perfect
8am?!?! The hell. I was getting up at that time.
10.30am-12pm : gym
12pm- 3pm: lunch
3pm- :stuffing around on BF doing death lists.
About 5ish: go home, couch, movies.
I have to be extremely sick for me to be able to fall asleep if there's any sign of daylight! My body refuses to otherwise.
