Never thought that made me a bad blogger. Isn’t that the wonderful thing about blogging? If you want to read about gift guides, then there are blogs that do. If not, then there are blogs that don’t. Providing balance. An alternative to commercialisation. I applaud that you are not. Personally I’m going for a simplified Christmas, where we make the most of our time together, not cluttering the house.

You prove there is more the Christmas than unwrapping loads of (unwanted) gifts – it’s about family and your own traditions, together time and relaxation (and some good food!). This is a great post for #GoingGreen and I for one do not think you are a bad blogger. In fact it makes you the complete opposite in my eyes and I look forward tot the day most bloggers are influencing us to lead sustainable lives, not feeding the environmental scourge that is commercialism.

OMG I have counted 61 gift guides in my bloglovin feed today and it is only 4.30!

I must see at least a dozen gift guides in my bloglovin feed a day, and this number is likely to rise from now until Christmas! Most of them list the same items too – so I am fed up already!
