Christmas presents

[ailbhe]

When I look at what other people are buying / have bought for their children, I feel like we're being really stingy and mean, but when I look at what we actually have bought for our children, I feel like they're getting a ton of stuff.

This would all be so much easier with actual rules.

Kate & Holly get far less than most of their friends, but we only have 1 income. It also seems natural, as my parents never went overboard, so that to me is the way it's done. One of Kate's best friends (& her 5 year old brother) are each getting a laptop & a DSi! I thought it was a joke when their mum told me!

Then again, we had lunch at McDonalds yesterday & then spent £33 on tickets to see Up in 3d, so we spend money on family outings through the year.
