Xmas is a breeze for me these days, as my children are at the age they only want cash, so that is easily sorted, i just get it off the money tree in the backyard, lol, well that is where they seem to think it comes from.

I just buy for my great nephew, and i got him some lovely story books,and my parents and I don't really exchange gifts, just some chocolates or something along those lines, although they do take us out to dinner at our favourite buffet restaurant, the day after xmas, we don't go in for the traditional xmas day celebrations anymore,we really enjoy going there, and there is no stress, or work involved,YES my kind of day.

My sister and I don't exchange gifts, i used to buy for her children,but they are well grown up now,and so we decided to stop this year, she just buys for my youngest Melissa.we have so many birthdays starting from October onwards in our family, that xmas just became to expensive, well at least for me anyhow.

I have just made a bunch of xmas cookies which i will do up nicely for my parents,and got them some edinburgh rock and scottish fudge,so just a small token really.

And Nikkita got an early xmas present, three lovely colourful toy mice, all in bright neon colours, her old ones were a little destroyed, she is my only cat really that will play with them.

And that is my lot,nice and simple and easy.
