I tell everyone I don't do Christmas (bah humbug etc) and don't give or receive cards or presents.
However, hubby's made it quite clear that he expects something large, shiny, and expensive to unwrap when he gets back from the other side of the world on Tuesday.
It's our first Christmas together so what do I do? Compromise my artistic integrity or put up with his moaning for the rest of the year??

Well my idea fails on all three criteria.
Buy him something lovely mate - love is far more important than not doing Xmas, and that's from a fellow xmas loather.

I would not buy him anything large specifically but plan a great day together which you both enjoy immensely
There must be something you can do for him that shows you care but doesn't comprimise your beliefs.
And then on a random day in January give him a fabulous, huge, shiny, gorgeous present and when he says why? this is not called for. Tell him it is my belief we should create our own days and our own traditions, because our relationship is not is not measured by religion or mattel. Or something like that.
Fuck I'm romantic.
