Thats her-indoors job....mine is to just foot the bill and put up with it!!!

I do like it that the kids get excited, but when I was a kid, Christmas was not much fun with a manically depressive mum who would (on regular occasions) try and kill herself and my dad looking after her at the local mental health hospital.....such heady days of joy and yuletide festivities......birthdays were much the same!

So while I put on a brave face for the kids (as it is for them really) - to all others its a case of, lets get this crap over and done with so I can go back to normal...

Christmas was not much fun when I was a kid either, so I actually detest it but try to get in the swing of things to keep others happy.
 
It's always been a bit of a rip off time for me, being born on the 29th Dec I always had "this is your Christmas and Birthday present"
