One Direction don't buy each other Christmas presents.
Harry Styles has revealed he and his bandmates - Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan - are festive Scrooges who stopped getting each other gifts three years ago.
Harry said: "The last time we got each other Christmas presents was 2011."
Liam added: "We are not very good at buying presents, we used to be very organised back in the day."
The guys don't just keep their money in their pockets at Christmas they also don't get each other birthday presents.
Liam, 21, was responsible for organising birthday celebrations and treats for the band but he relinquished his role after the other four guys refused to help out.
He added to the Daily Star newspaper: "It was difficult being the leader of the birthday club. It was not ideal, because none of the guys wanted to help out. I needed an assistant and someone to control the money."
Although most of us will be tucking into turkey, sugary snacks and booze over the festive period, Harry has announced he is on a health kick.
The 20-year-old singer recently said: "I'm on the wagon for fitness reasons. I work out really hard and the quickest way to see results is to cut out the booze - especially wine and beer ... If anything, I usually have a vodka tonic but I'm totally dry for Christmas. It's the worst timing because everyone's partying but I'm testing myself. Ice-cream is off limits too - I love it so much."

Mariah Carey is being sued by a former staff member for unpaid overtime.
Ex-employee Ylser Oliver, 49, has issued a lawsuit against the singer claiming she was forced to work up to 16-hours-a-day, seven days a week without proper meal breaks or any extra money in her pay packet as compensation for her extra hours.
According to legal papers filed at Manhattan federal court, Ylser claims she began working as an assistant for Mariah in March 2007 and her duties included tidying up her Tribeca home in New York and organising repairs to the property, packing her luggage for trips, tending to her "personal needs," travelling with the R&B star on her business trips, taking her calls, carrying out shopping tasks for her and "caring" for Mariah's friends and family.
Ylser quit in June 2014 after becoming disgruntled with the working hours and lack of overtime.
Matthew Blit - Ylser's employment lawyer - said: "My client put her family's life on hold while tending to Mariah Carey's family, and Mariah repaid her by underpaying her.
"My client is a very hard-working woman who treated Mariah and her family like her own, working all hours of the day and night. Even celebrities are required to abide by the law."
Ylser is suing Mariah - who split from her husband of six years, Nick Cannon, earlier this year - for significant amount of money", but the actual fee is undisclosed.
However, the suit claims she was entitled to at least time-and-a-half pay when working more than 40 hours a week.
When asked about the lawsuit, Mariah's spokesperson Cindi Berger said: "I can't comment on anything that I'm not aware of and we haven't heard anything about this lawsuit."

Johnny Depp has invited a host of his famous friends to spend New Year's Eve (31.12.14) with him in the Bahamas.
The 51-year-old actor has sent out invitations to many of his closest pals, including Steven Tyler, Marilyn Manson and Helena Bonham Carter and her partner Tim Burton, to ring in 2015 with him and his fiancée Amber Heard on his private island in the Caribbean.
The usually low-key star's bash - held at Amber Beach, which he named after his partner - has sparked speculation among his guests that the party may in fact turn into a surprise wedding between Johnny and Amber, 28.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Johnny is normally very low key, so the big New Year party came as a surprise. He's invited most of his closest friends and their families to join him on his island. The highlight will be a big party.
"It could be a straightforward bash but friends have wondered if it could be a ruse to have a wedding without a big fuss."
The couple always intended to tie the knot at Amber Beach, but no definite date has ever been set.
Johnny and Amber confirmed their engagement in January after less than two years of dating and threw a party to celebrate their betrothal in March.
The 'Lone Ranger' star was previously in a long-term relationship with Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has two children, daughter Lily-Rose, 15, and son Jack, 12.

Abigail Breslin says she has no issues with Taylor Swift.
The 'Little Miss Sunshine' actress, who recently appeared to call 24-year-old singer an "unstable cat lady" when she posted a variation of the lyrics to Taylor's hit song 'Blank Space' on Twitter, insists she was referring to herself.
The 18-year-old star said: "What's so crazy, I think that everybody that follows me on Twitter knows that I just got surprised with a kitten, a baby kitten, like a week ago, by my family."
In a perceived dig, the actress tweeted: "Cuz darling I'm a nightmare dressed like an emotionally unstable cat lady. (sic)"
While Taylor's original line reads: "'Cause darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream."
Abigail claims she decided to post the controversial tweet after she saw herself with her pet in the mirror.
She told the HuffPost Live: "I was walking in my apartment, and I stopped in front of my mirror, and I had my hair in a topknot, and my glasses on, and no makeup on and a bathrobe on, with my cat and like a handful of its food, trying to give it medicine. I was like 'wow my life, I look like an emotionally unstable cat lady.' "
It's not the first time Abigail has started a feud with another celebrity.
In November, she penned the scathing song 'You Suck' about her ex-boyfriend, 5 Seconds of Summer rocker Michael Clifford, 19.

Kimberley Walsh is looking forward to spending her first Christmas with her fiancé.
The former Girls Aloud star, who gave birth to her first child, Bobby, in September, is set to spend December 25 with Justin Scott, 33, for the first time, despite being with him for 11 years, as he usually celebrates with his teenage daughter from a previous relationship.
Writing in her OK! magazine column this week, the 33-year-old beauty revealed: "It'll actually be the first Christmas Day Justin and I have together in 11 years. He's always travelled to Bristol to see his daughter Chloe.
"This year's different as Bobby's here so we want to be together as a family. Justin takes it in turns to have Chloe so unfortunately she won't be with us - Bobs will miss his big sister."
The brunette beauty announced her engagement to Justin last month and confirmed the happy news by posting a picture of her engagement ring on Twitter.
Kimberley also recently credited Justin for helping her to adapt to motherhood so quickly.
She said: "Bobby and I are both doing well and Justin and I are totally in love with him - I can't stop staring at him!
"Like most new mums, I feel a bit shell-shocked, but Justin's being an amazing support and fortunately feeding is going well so far."

Jennifer Aniston has become an aunt for the third time.
The 'Cake' star's half-brother, Alex 'AJ' Aniston, and girlfriend Adriane Hallek reportedly welcomed a baby boy, Ryat Aniston, into the world last week in Los Angeles, according to Australia's Women's Day magazine.
It is not yet known if Jennifer, who has been promoting her new movie, 'Cake,' around the world recently, has met the tot yet, but AJ previously admitted he found it difficult being related to her.
When asked about his relationship with the former 'Friends' star last year, the 25-year-old said: "It's been a pain in my a** for years. No comment."
Jennifer and AJ share the same father, 'Days of Our Lives' star John Aniston, and she also has an older maternal half-brother, John Melick, who has two children with wife Shannon Melick.
The actress recently admitted she feels pressure to start a family of her own with fiancé Justin Theroux.
She said: "I don't like [the pressure] that people put on me, on women - that you've failed yourself as a female because you haven't procreated. I don't think it's fair.
"You may not have a child come out of your vagina, but that doesn't mean you aren't mothering - dogs, friends, friends' children.
"This continually is said about me: that I was so career-driven and focused on myself; that I don't want to be a mother, and how selfish that is."

Chris Rock says everyone in Hollywood is scared that their private emails might be leaked.
The 'Top Five' actor claims "nobody knows what to do" after controversial email exchanges between Sony executives and stars, including Angelina Jolie, were made public by hackers in North Korea and admits he often says "inappropriate things."
The 49-year-old comedian said: "Read my emails. I say offensive things for a living."
He also revealed several of his famous peers have expressed concern about the emails, some of which were racist and sexist.
He told the New York Times: "This whole thing is just scary, man. It's emails, it's your private stuff, and the whole town is scared. Everybody's got to be scared... nobody knows what to do."
Sony Pictures Entertainment recent announced that it was cancelling the scheduled release of Seth Rogen and James Franco's new movie, 'The Interview,' which is about an assassination attempt on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after terror attack threats were made by the same group responsible for the Sony hacks.
But many celebrities, including Ben Stiller, Rob Lowe, Jimmy Kimmell and Judd Apatow, blasted the decision.
'Night At The Museum' star Ben wrote on Twitter: "Really hard to believe this is the response to a threat to freedom of expression here in America. #TheInterview"

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West are reportedly arguing over where to spend Christmas.
The 37-year-old rapper, who married the reality TV star in Florence, Italy last May, wants them to celebrate their first festive season as newlyweds alone with their 18-month-old daughter, North, in Paris, but the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty is eager to stay at her mother Kris Jenner's home in Los Angeles.
A source said: "Even though Christmas is a time for family, Kanye doesn't want to spend the holiday with Kim's family at Kris' house. Kris always has a huge party on Christmas Eve, and Kanye just isn't feeling it this year. He wants to go to Paris with Kim and North. This would allow him to spend time with them, and also work.
"But Kim absolutely refuses to even consider spending Christmas in Paris."
The 34-year-old star is especially keen to stay in LA as her older sister Kourtney recently gave birth to her third child.
The insider told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "She has said there will be no way North would be away from the cousins."
Kim is also furious with Kanye after he allegedly left her and North at a Disney on Ice event recently.
The source said: "Kanye bailed after thirty minutes because he had work commitments, including finishing work on the upcoming documentary about his Yeezus concert tour. Kim was absolutely furious with Kanye for leaving after only such a short time."

Christina Aguilera enjoyed an early birthday celebration at Disneyland.
The 'Your Body' hitmaker, who gave birth to her second child, Summer Rain, in August, was spotted strolling around the theme-park in Anaheim, California on Wednesday night (17.12.14) with fiancé Matthew Rutler and a large group of friends, one day before her 34th birthday.
The blonde beauty, who also has six-year-old son Max with ex-husband Jordan Bratman, donned a pair of Minnie Mouse ears for the occasion and was spotted nervously lining up for some of the attraction's rides, including the Space Mountain roller coaster.
The 'Voice' USA mentor decided to leave her children at home with a babysitter for the night, according to MailOnline.
Production assistant Matt, 29, held on to the singer's hand for much of the evening and they were also seen buying some merchandise at the gift shop.
Christina has kept a relatively low profile since welcoming her daughter into the world earlier this year, but recently returned to work on the next series of the reality singing competition after Gwen Stefani filled in for her on the panel this season.
Last month, the 'Baby Don't Lie' hitmaker admitted she was reluctant to hand the job back to Christina.
She said: "I feel really jealous of Christina. I feel weird that they are doing it without me."
