Show me your present pile

[Namechangepleas]

Curious to see how many presents people have under their tree.
I have two dcs and never think it looks enough, I just love to see their little faces light up in the morning.

This isn't a judgy thread I'm just genuinely curious.
Here's mine ours its just presents for 2 dc. Me and dp exchanged today.

I only clicked on the thread to see the moaning and berating, and I wasn't disappointed. The thread police are alive and well I see! 😂😂😂

Some beautiful trees too. Merry Christmas everyone and I hope everyone enjoys their presents, whether they post photos or not 🍷🍷

Merry Christmas everyone!

@FeelingwearyFeeelingsmall May Iask where did you buy your wrapping paper from, please? It is beautiful!

WOW

This thread makes me cringe. Very materialistic.

all our fit under the tree.

I love how some people have taken @Whatthediddlyfeck 's post seriously 😁

@ChestnutsOpenFire I love the little gingerbread gift bag.

Nothing to add as Christmas is just DH and me and our presents are stored in the home office, but enjoying other people's trees.

I am broke and I enjoy seeing other peoples gifts under the tree. I have two gifts this year double what I get most years.

This is fantastic though.

Mine might look more but it is just the way it's positioned going across the rug instead of under the tree fully. Each dc had about £100 spent on them, most of it is books and teddies.

I dont think any of these photos are braggy. They all look perfect.
Merry christmas! Enjoy your day everyone.

@ChestnutsOpenFire what a rotund and jolly tree you have there!!

Don’t understand why anyone thinks they should judge anyone else for how much or how little they’ve spent.
It actually seems that people only seem to have a problem with the ones who have more presents under their tree than they deem an acceptable amount, which is just weird.

People work to earn money to choose to spend it on what they like. Fuck off judging and let people spend their earnings on a shed load of gifts if they like!

Stockings. My best tip was when I bought two sets of identical mid size ones. The DC hang them up before bed and then I swap out for the ones I pre filled earlier.

This year each has an orange, choc coins, a choc Santa, some sweets, and a couple of smaller fidget or nail varnish or blind bag or socks type gifts in stripy sweet bags.

Happy Christmas everyone.

@DuplicateUserName thank you! I can’t take any credit - it’s a gift from my aunt . I love it - will definitely be reusing it next year!

@MargotChateau thank you! Wish I could take the credit but my son picked it out with DH - he is very good at choosing them!

Ooh I love the house paper, where is it from??

@Burm beautifully wrapped 😍

Sounds perfect 😍

Enjoy your books and your Christmas Brenner!💐 From a fellow book lover.

Thanks everyone for sharing their trees. Happy Christmas!🌲

Yeah, a sea of tat makes me wince. But have a thought for some of the folk posting here. That parcel may be a favourite character notebook, a slightly "posher" bottle of facewash or the socks that are really in at the moment. If you are monied then you'll get the big ticket but the other stuff may be tiny in size, in an envelope, but big bucks - experiences, livery, driving lessons, etc.

There have been times (before foodbnks were so common) that I have been so poor that I haven't been able to afford food, had no Internet as couldn't afford the monthly charge etc. (,I would go to my parents' house to use it). I still loved thread's like these, they didn't make me feel bad, they made me feel joyous and happy. I wish people would stop trying to spoil everyone's fun. if we look hard enough we can find offense anywhere and everywhere but why live like that? I just try to take the positive from everything

Thank you I will do happy Christmas to you as well.

I think ours might get taken away. DS wrote Santa a note...

Ours. Presents for DD ,OH and me.

I haven’t done the presents under the tree yet as I have a toddler who is refusing to sleep (tomorrow will be fun!).

Loving this thread! Some fantastic wrapping and trees.

Merry Christmas all x
