There are several. The worst, for me, is getting a load of booze in for the Chrissy period, and then just drinking it.
There's also the temptation to just go "oh the hell with it" and spend more money than you should.
I finally bought some presents and then rewarded myself by buying 4 James Bond films (they were a fiver (or equivalent) each)
But Christmas is a cash haemorage.. heamorrhage.. haemorrhage... but, fun.

Which four did you buy? I just bought Goldfinger and Live and Let Die. The special features weren't as special as I was led to believe.

Have you read any of the books? They're great.

No, you know I never have, but I now have the urge to read them after seeing Casino Royale. I dipped into one years ago but I wasn't ready, I did read Roger Moore's book which was an account of filming "Live and let die" which was an unintentionally hilarious diary full of "Spent the day filming in the swamp. In the evening dined with the Grace Kelly and Burt Goldberg, owner of the largest aliminium processing factory in Switzerland, ate a carrier bag's worth of fine cheese, went to bed". But, yes, I will read the novels.

Highly recommended. I think they're going cheap on play.com at the moment. Read them in order. Then read the Raymond Chandler novels! In sequence!

The internah will change our lives. There'll be goatse.cx parties and Amazon festivals eventually to replace vaguely comprehended ideas of pagan festival / baby jesus / shopping time.

I have a terrible fever complete with aches and pains all over my body, untreatable headache and nausea --so, this christmas kind of sucks. But, I am glad that some people are having fun holidays so I don't care, I can get better

I'm glad there's an organization that exploits the tons of excess undeserved income of idiotic actors. Fame is a disease; ask michael jackson. Aphex was smart enough to get out while he could be making terrible music on purpose. What a genius.

Its a good idea to remember that the 'festive spirit' is just imaginary and that people are still complete cunts just as they are at any other time of year and, for example, if someone you were walking home from the pub with last night had a Tottenham scarf on, there are people who would follow you for about ten minutes and repeatedly ask you if you support Tottenham and then lamp you in the side of the head, and then walk off as if something has been achieved

I had an awesome time shopping for my girlfriend. I spent way more than I can afford, really. I can chalk it up to money I am saving in not buying cigarettes.

Normally, when it isn't christmas I act like a complete jerk. But when the holidays are there, I am the incarnation of the fallen-angel who fell off his beliefs and retruned to the good side. And people just love it! It's a gift on its own. And it's rather cheap as well. I mean, how easy can it be, for piss-sake!
