Do you think Christmas is getting out of all proportion? Easter eggs just as Xmas near enough finishes. cost's rise for a matter of days, then is gone.
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.
i dont enjoy buying for kids now, as it seems so little!!!
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!
