'Oh I'll never spoil mine at Christmas' well behold, under our tree there will be......

[WellErrr]

A fucking horse.

Is it some kind of Christmas madness?? Does anyone else get gripped by it?

I am usually pretty tight and determined to not have spoilt children. I don't know where this has come from.

Anyone else?

I got a horse (little fat pony) for Christmas when I was 8. I knew I was getting him though, it wasn't a surprise but literally the best Christmas ever!*

(*disclaimer: I may have been a bit spoilt)

That would have been my absolute dream. I have 7 horses now but desperately ( and I mean desperately!!!) want a pink unicorn for Christmas.
With regard to decorating her, I bought DS a welshie and I adore playing ponies with her so for Christmas I've bought hair chalk to dye her mane and tail red and green stripy. She has a pink forelock currently (for testing purposes )
