My dad was telling DD1 that when he was a little boy all he got at Christmas was orange, some nuts and maybe if he was very lucky one very very very small toy (my Nan bought 3 boys up on her own after my dad's Dad left her when my Dad was 4 and my uncles 5 & 7 for another woman and never gave her a penny to help and she fought and fought to stop them going into care so money was very very short) DD1 said she was going to ask Father Chrsitmas to bring Grandad some presents for a stocking but I had to explain that FC doesnt visit grown ups only good children.
Anyway DD1 was counting her pennies and when I asked why she said she wants to buy grandad a special present so he doesnt feel sad (he does get presents now!) anyway I have said that she can put all her money away and that I will get some small bits (am thinking practical rather than tatt) for Nanny & Grandad and maybe we could wrap them up and get a stocking and take them when we see them on Christmas Day and say we helped FC she now looks like
