It’s that time of year again, when everyone gets stressed out of their minds about buying shit they don’t need for people they can’t stand, in the process blowing a fair chunk of wedge all because it’s tradition. Instead of doing that it’s quite easy to have a great Christmas without spending a small fortune and here’s some tips on how.
Don’t Spend Money In Overpriced Nightclubs, Throw A Gaff Party
Going out over Christmas and New Year’s is basically you willingly giving some hawkish club promoter extra money so you can be a human sardine surrounded by twats in novelty jumpers. Save yourself the hassle by getting your mates around, banging on the decks and doing a much cheaper, more fun gaff party. Best thing is the neighbours aren’t likely to call the police cause it’s Christmas and they’re drunk too.
