I think it is overrated to be honest. Christmas is for large families who actually like and want to spend time with each other, and for children! We have no children, and we have already visited the family as can only do in small doses. Therefore, we just spoil each other with gifts (wanted and needed, nothing for the sake of!) and have a stress-free Christmas. To us it's all about good cooking, alcohol (more him than me!), a tonne of dvd's (as we don't ever watch TV) and relaxing. I wouldn't have it any other way. My worst nightmare would be to stress over it, I don't do stress, lol I hope you all manage to get some chilled time, and enjoy your days tomorrow xx
