Register at, say, www.ChristmasOptOut.com to quit Christmas.
"Oh, thank you for your thoughtful and expensive enough gift, but, didn't you
check ChristmasOptOut.com? I've opted out of the Christmas gift exchange."
The website would have to be highly publicized and on all the morning
programs.
It could be a non-profit with proceeds to charity. An optional
donation could be made at the site by the registrant, helping to justify their
decision to opt out of Christmas.
"I've directed my small optional ChristmasOptOut.com donation to an
organization that rescues abused captive reindeer!"

Go to somewhere where all your neighbours are of a
religious persuasion that forbids them to celebrate
Christmas. Sorted. |
|
| |
Only if it is illegal to give gifts or greetings to people who have opted out. [link] |

|

"Oh, thank you for your thoughtful and expensive
enough gift, but, didn't you check
ChristmasOptOut.com? I've opted out of the
Christmas gift exchange." |
|

"Hey, you failed to check OptOutOfOptOuts.com
therefore it is your fault you are upset!" |
|
| |
Yes! [+], can't people just refrain from Christmas at least once? Can they refrain from puting fir trees in the middle of the cities? I don't see that happening anytime soon, but I would like they did. |

... "Hey, you failed to check OptOutOfOptOuts.com therefore it is your fault you are upset!" |
|
| |
"Not at all, I am boycotting OptOutOfOptOuts.com since it is owned by a company with links to opressive festivals. You should have checked OptOutsBoycotts.com" |
|

hmmm re: pocmloc's link, there are confessed telemarketers who say they ignored the opt out list, at which moment (say dinner time EST) I became enraged and my head exploded, thereby wasting a perfectly prepared dinner. having said that, I say there would be violators. |

So do you get the $10,000 fine for gifting someone on the "DO NOT GIFT" list? |
