There are lots of threads on here about how people are not buying much for their own dc's and they know dc's won't miss out as they have so much off family and friends as well. But for me christmas presents for my dd's should be about what father christmas has brought them, about how he knows what they want and the magic of getting it here. But they have so much off other people it seems to be a competition over which relative/friend gets them the best/most etc. But if we don't get anything then it seems to water down the magic off FC, so they end up getting too much. On christmas morning as a child I wanted to run downstairs and see all our presents off FC. I'm don't know why it bothers me but I'd so prefer my friends and relatives spend their hard earned £££'s on their dc's and let FC look after ours.
