 In my opinion, there are more important things in life than Christmas. To me it's just a distraction and does nothing more than turn the world upside down and cause debt for millions.

I'm also not bothered about receiving presents, personally I think Christmas is for kids, especially the ones in poverty or on the edge of.

We take too much for granted these days, and call me a humbug if you like but personally I believe more people should put emphasis on helping their local food bank.

Remember while you go through the motions opening your new Leica's, Rolex's etc there is some poor old bugger not far from you living rough under a bridge, and some abused child weeping in a cupboard under the stairs because it's all gone wrong through no fault of his / her own.

A child somewhere in the world will also think Father Christmas doesn't want to know because the parents couldn't afford a pencil.

A child somewhere was born to crack addict parents, another somewhere will be getting beaten by a psycho step dad.

Christmas, is not for me. I have no right.
