Are my children going to miss something terribly due to never experiencing an elf on the shelf?
According to some friends, it is awful that they are missing out. All their peers have one.
However, I can just about remember to get them opening their advent calendars on the right days let alone faff about with a bloody elf.
I just don't see the need so we won't be doing it. However when I said this to another mum. The looks I got, you would think I had told the entire nursery class Santa wasn't real.
So many people falling over themselves to post pictures of their already decorated tree, wrapped presents etc. It makes me be a bit bah humbug about it all. It is only December tomorrow and I still think that is too early for Christmas trees.
Am I alone in thinking that all this makes Christmas a bit of a stressful chore and takes away from the joy of it? Or am I just a miserable git?
