Christmas- Is it just me?

I don't celebrate christmas and its such fun, we don't HAVE to do anything. Actually no-one does have to do anything, but lots of people seem to. If I want to spend £300 on my kids, I will do, and if I want to spend £3, I will do! I don't have to eat a roast dinner, I don't have to have silly bits of tinsel all over my house, and also, I don't have to get depressed when its all over - which is what has happened before.
So I hope you have a fabby time, and I will sit with my unspoilt kids - except the one going to stay with my mother - and drink a glass of wine, eat beans on toast, and watch the good doctor on the tv. Thats Dr Who.
*Remains in happy geek-dom with dreams of David Tennant*
All the best,

Or alternatively, they would learn to share and not be such spoilt little brats :rolleyes:
Great, just what the world needs, more spoilt brattish kids.
Have to admit, my two that live with me, have laptops each, but they were almost half price, worked out the second one cost me £50 if i had been paying full price for first one. They actually believe they have £50 each spent on them, craft things for daughter science for son. Apart from laptops, its just stocking fillings that they have.
