Secret Santa Spending Dec. 21, 2011, 6:03 p.m.

Some people love Christmas and others loathe it. As with anything, there are positives and negatives of this festive season. With the financial trouble the UK has been experiencing in the last few years, it comes as no surprise that Christmas is a very difficult time for many people. The last thing you want after trying to find the money to pay rent/your mortgage/gas and water bills etc is to be forking out the money to pay for presents for people, especially if most of these people you haven’t seen for months and frankly, don’t care about that much.

It is the same story every Christmas; you end up buying and receiving generic Christmas presents of which the majority of them will never be used. A complete waste of time and money unless someone has gone to the trouble to get you a busty escort Surely it makes more sense to do Secret Santa with your family and friends? If everyone in your family put their names in a hat and you all picked one out, you are all guaranteed a present that has actually had some thought put into it, rather than just something grabbed off of a shop shelf along with ten other things. It also brings the family together to swap the gifts and takes away that nightmarish awkwardness of some family members clearly spending far too much on presents whilst others have spent the bare minimum. As long as a price limit has been set for Secret Santa, no-one can be disappointed or embarrassed. The same goes for your friendship circle. Rather than all trying to buy quirky and impressive presents for each other, just do Secret Santa and swap presents with one another at a fun gathering. Pub anyone?

If Secret Santa isn’t up your street, you can always make an agreement with your family and friends to buy presents for each other after Christmas. Boxing Day sales make most people kick themselves. On Boxing Day you will find out that the golfing sweater vest you bought for your dad is now half the price you paid for it a week before Christmas. Christmas is supposed to be about being with your loved ones, eating a brilliant dinner, getting merry and watching rubbish television. The day itself should be enjoyed just for that, presents are unnecessary. So if you absolutely have to exchange presents, do it after Christmas when you can all save money and have an excuse to get together again for another party! Party girl escorts can accompany you to a festive soiree and afterwards you can enjoy a celebration of your own, together.

Christmas is really a celebration of the end of the year. It is hard not to feel nostalgic about everything that has happened during the year, the ups and the downs. This can be an especially difficult time of year if you have come out of a long-term relationship and are still licking your wounds. Christmas escorts are a brilliant way to help lift your spirits. Running around trying to make everyone else happy often means we leave out ourselves. You should also treat yourself during the Christmas period. For women, that can mean booking a spa day at a gorgeous hotel. For men, it can mean hiring the company of a London escort at Christmas. There is no better way to end the year than by doing this! Give a present to yourself and enjoy it, like most people; you probably deserve it.
