   Holly, Alix come to mine every single guest and any staff they chose to bring and any furred and feathered companions get a Fortnum’s Hamper some from the range and some bepoke. Even the semi-feral (un)stable cats get something.

   Christmas is a special time
   Full of loving presence…

   To hell with all that sappy cr@p
   Where are all the presents?

   Even Jesus got a load of expensive presents so therefore to honor the nativity everyone should get the same treatment.

   I retain the right to demur.

   Sorry but there is a VERY funny song by Kevin Bloody Wilson called “Hey Santa, Where’s my f***ing bike?” Warning it’s a bit crude but if you have a sense of humor, you might go youtube it.

   I agree, Evie, but you can’t do that to the kids…

   this is probably the motto for every Christmas “This year we are not going to overspend and keep it simple” It takes a lot more thought to give one present to kids but that one would be memorable !!!

    My thing is I do not buy stuff for my nieces and nephews on christmas or thier birthdays. Becasue one year I got something on sale that cost the same every other present (give or take a buck) and someone said how come you got that expensive present for them and not my kid. So now all I do is I pay for a trip to the zoo or circus or to a amusment park It is all equal and my money stays here not sent to china.

    sorry and they will remember when uncle ron took us to the circus or to the zoo. Think about it ask you kid what uncle or aunt got them last year. Chances are they will not remember

    Grandma remembers when most “Christmas presents” were your everyday clothes and kids were lucky to get one non-practical gift ;-D

    My family is refusing to buy things off my wishlist for Christmas. Because it’s all the same thing. And books are boring. Seriously?!!!! I would be perfectly happy if no one got me anything but books.
