I don't know.

DS's birthday is 22nd November and really can't think properly about Christmas until after that.

DD (5) is getting a large Hello Kitty that was on offer in Tescos recently. Have got some stocking things. They will both get an annual. And a satsuma. She says she wants Hello Kitty things and a toy cat that looks like one she left on a bus. And maybe some playmobil.

DS (nearly 7) I am not sure about. He would like an umbrella . He is about to get lovely Lego for his birthday so should be content for a while.

[BarbieLovesKen]

My God, you are all very organised!!!.

DD (5) will be getting "making things", she loves craft sets etc so am going to buy her a few little sets where she can make ornaments, chocolate, jewellery, cards etc..

Also, an annual, box set of books, a HSM3 dance mat (which incidently only cost me £2)
and another present (probably a game for the ds).

[FreudianSlimmery]

ForMashGetSmash I am intrigued as to the nature of 'random crap' please elaborate :o

[ForMashGetSmash]

Lol...oh you know Freudian, felt tip pens, colouring books, fun jewelry...soapy sets and slippers!

[NoahAndTheWhale]

There will be much random crap here

People with long lists, is this presents just from you or does it include presents from relations as well?

[FreudianSlimmery]

Well my list (apart from the camera and car transporter) is only what we are getting them - they will get a few other bits and bobs from my DSDs and other relatives.

[domesticsluttery]

Does mine count as long list? It was 8 presents each, but only cost about £75 per child which isn't that much by a lot of people's standards. And yes, those 8 presents will be all coming from us.

[NoahAndTheWhale]

Think my post didn't come out quite how I meant it to although not sure what exactly I did mean.

Maybe I just want to be more organised .

Here Father Christmas brings one big present and a stocking and then there are presents to and from each sibling.

Have just realised that as we are having Christmas day as a family of 4 on our own and won't be seeing grandparents and uncles and aunts and cousin until after Christmas (and they are the only ones likely to give any presents) that there may not be a lot of presents under the tree. So am wondering what to do. Somehow to me it feels "wrong" for us to get DS and DD lots of presents at Christmas but don't want it to fall flat.

They will get things just after Christmas and at 5 and 7 probably can cope with that. But am in a something of indecision. I think
