Same with Christmas dinners. I find if I get invited to one and politely decline, I catch a whole bunch of crap for it.

Why though? People wanting you to be involved with them at Xmas and inviting you to dinner seems like something most people would like. Why choose not to participate and turn down dinner invites? There are a lot of people quite frankly who would love to receive these invites and gifts from people thinking about them at this time of year.
