1. Copious amounts of tedious uni work
2. Sheer laziness
3. Being the Grinch
4. Not celebrating Christmas, and, therefore, not planning on buying gifts

NB: just because I have listed these things under stereotypes, doesn't mean I am insulting them. I adore each and every single one of these items.
Also, amazing discovery today thanks to a facebook post by studentbeans.com called Use Your Freezer to Save Some Cash. When(/if) you've got a bit of wine left over in a bottle, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it, so you end up with frozen wine-cubes. You can then put them in cocktails OR cook with them. That's one genius, and obvious, idea, right there!
