Stuff the turkey, it’s time to take a break from Christmas

Leaving Santa and presents to kids will help your mental health

Leave Santa and the presents to children

Fionola Meredith

Christmas is for children. That’s what people always say. So why not leave us adults out of it, and make the whole thing kids only?

Think about it. Less stress, less pressure, less expectation that it all has to be absolutely perfect for everyone. Sure, Santa would still need to put in an appearance, but the rest of the annual extravaganza of ostentatious spending would be massively reduced. I’m certain we’d all be happier for it.
