You sound a bitter hun, go and be mardy elsewhere Scrooge hun

'A bitter hun'? Did I accidentally click on the 'Ins Deutsche übersetzen' button?

All the pretty colour coordinated gift wrapping! Ours is a mix of odds and sods from previous years and gift bags reused so many times they’re barely in one piece…

This thread has made me sad for people that can afford nothing like these photos are showing.
Shall we agree to stop this?

Agreed, this post is in very poor taste considerably so many people are struggling at the moment. Really hate these competitive 'my .... is better than yours" posts.

Are we only allowed posts from poor people then? Is that what we are saying?

The thread title is clear.

A photo with presents strewn across half the room because they won't physically fit around the tree... "Oh I never think it's enough". This is goady braggy bollocks.

So the people who have worked hard this year and managed to saved for Christmas can’t share their trees and present set-ups on a anon site ?

Always4Brenner · 24/12/2022 23:46

My bits are 2nd hand the only new thing is a present my friend has brought me. I’m sorry if my 2nd hand books upset people but to me they are priceless I will not apologise for them, I’ve waited years for this tomorrow it happens I’ve got my books back. I’ve had enough crap this year.

VeganStar · 24/12/2022 23:46

Can’t see them all properly. This is mine and DDs…mostly DDs

Why did you click on the thread having seen the title?

Exactly. It’s very obvious from the title, just don’t click on it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like having a nose. Mumsnet would have thought our kids piles of presents when they were little were too much. They’re older now and appreciate cash and only a few presents. We don’t put them out til the morning though as the dogs would eat them. 😅

Of course they can.

And the people who have also worked hard this year, yet have been crippled by the cost of living, rising inflation and other economic challenges, can share their distaste on an anon site!

That's the beauty of the internet :)

No one should have to spend their life tip-toeing around others, especially strangers, because it might perchance make some else sad. We don’t restrain from showing photos of healthy people when others are dying of cancer, or babies when others are facing fertility issues. If people want to share photos of what they’ve got (which was quite clearly the intention of the thread) then they can get on with it. Just scroll on by 👍🏻
Everyone is too damn sensitive and offended nowadays.. too much bloody time on their hands.

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 24/12/2022 23:47

Does anyone have pictures of kids stockings? We don’t do them here and I always thought presents were put inside them small ones you hang on a fireplace but now I’m starting to think stockings might be more sack like?

iceyniceyspicey · 24/12/2022 23:48

how has anyone finished?
We need ages of kids too on this thread! mine are 10 and under and still a bloody wake!

Celeste777 · 24/12/2022 23:48

It looks a lot but lots of small things there like stationary, books, useful things rather than a sea of plastic tut. I'm so excited for them.

I’m so grateful I don’t have your head. Bless you ☹️

Celeste777 · 24/12/2022 23:50

Don't feel sorry for me, thanks. I'm enjoying it. My self worth isn't tied to how many presents I can get/afford to buy.

GingerFoxInAT0phat · 24/12/2022 23:51

@iceyniceyspicey That makes sense, I just wrapped a yo-yo that I’d forgotten about, was putting an Amazon box in the recycling bin and heard something ratting around.

I always wonder how people can find lots of tiny presents to fit in a little stocking.

Celeste777 · 24/12/2022 23:51

LadyRoughDiamond · 24/12/2022 23:08

Sod the presents, I’m just loving seeing everyone’s trees and decorations.

I just love your tree it's so beautiful
