    What's your weather like 2026

    A sunny, calm 2 degrees, everywhere still crunchy under foot, I think it was all hail rather than snow over night, rain due tomorrow it seems.

    Suggestions for the Christmas present from hell as far as I’m concerned

    I think this becomes more of a phychological topic. It's a personal choice on what's more important: the peace of your mind, as you don't like the present, vs the attempt to be kind and not to offend the giver. Life is too short to make everyone happy.
