DOES XMAS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE X-MEN?

Honest to God, I've always felt sorry for Jesus Christ because his birthday has always fallen on Christmas day. Well, let's face it; it must be a right pain in the palm to be given one gift every year to represent two different celebrations. What's more, the poor sods smartphone was made from frankincense and Jerusalem broadcasts a terrible Wi-Fi signal. Still, it goes to show how lucky we are nowadays. Too lucky, some might say, which is why I would like to bring us down to earth with the following statistics provided by www.vouchercodes.co.uk. 

Well, quite recently, this price-conscious website has been able to compile a number of yuletide related facts that you might like to know during this festive season.

If you're thinking of posting pictures of your presents' on social media this year, then you might like to know that you'll be in the minority.

In many ways, this goes to show that a change in attitudes has occurred, with more than two out of five people (44%) admitting that they think people who post during Christmas are obviously obnoxious. We won't hold that against them though. No. Surely not. It's Christmas after all, and we all deserve to...
