I adore Christmas and all the merry smiley cheesey jolly associations that come with it!
... I just wish that they could perhaps hold back until early/mid november before it all starts kicking off! The garden centres near me begin selling off last years excess christmas stock in AUGUST ... which I find utterly ridiculous. I'm a great fan of all things festive but stretching it out across such a time period is like spreading a knob of butter *sniggers* across an 5 foot length *sniggers!!* of bread = you lose the flavour!!!

I know where you're coming from Stan. Tbh, Megan isnt in to most of the stuff that the other girls are at school, so there's no pressure yet for me to buy her the 'must have' things. She'll get spoilt rotten by my parents, so there's no point in me going ott.
She only ever (so far) asks for inexpensive things, like I said, this year it's a my little pony, she wants one of the £5 ones. She got a second hand bike before the summer, so that's off the list. We went totally over the top the christmas before Toby was born. Christmas has always been about spending time with family for me, eating far too much dinner and consuming half a tin of roses whilst playing trivial pursuit after the second episode of eastenders. Megan is over the moon that she's going to be spending christmas with her cousins this year. I've been lucky all of her christmases so far, at this time of year some benefit has been messed up and stopped, and paid in bulk at the end of november. Yeah it means that money has been tight at this time of year, but it's an easy way to save. Here's my christmas list for this year..... Wii fit Money towards getting the garden turfed My Mother not having a nervous breakdown like she normally does on christmas day.
