I have quite strong views about Christmas Spending, but I appreciate that there are other money personalities out there and I’m not necessarily right and other wrong. I’m intriged as to what others feel on the subject of presents:

6. How do you feel when you get something you don’t want?
7. Any other thoughts about Christmas spending?
