I think it only gets out of proportion if individuals let it. Most people seem sensible enough to me.

ummmm

It's far too commercialised for my liking. I feel sorry for the people that are put under pressure to buy things they can't afford.

You want to see the lists that kids nowadays are expecting. They want phones that cost a few hundred quid, labels on all their clothes...

Just say no :-)

Some parents won't , many do - a great lesson to children.

ummmm

Well I do.

I'm not buying them expensive gifts just because it's xmas. They can have gifts throughout the year when they are deserved.

I hate the price manipulation by all these big stores, I also hate the frantic panic buying of some people.

I remember having christmas's when we were poor as a child. We still managed to have a nice time and enjoy our day, (we used to go help feel the elderly and those alone at the church on christmas day). My mum had to say no throughout the year, not just at christmas, so it wasn't exactly a shock that christmas was occasionally a bit tight. The day is what you make it.

Xmas is getting out of hand!
Remember the days when we were happy with hardly anything.

They all seem to want such a lot nowadays.

My son asked (again) for a laptop this year. It was hard, but I had to say no.

Where do you draw the line? A laptop this year, an ipad the year after?
I thought there would be less pressure once my son realised Father Christmas wasn't real, but if anything, it's worse!
