   Sarah, I live with him and still find it hard to believe! But no, we haven’t seen enough of each other recently 🙂
   Pondering the K’nex thing, I’m told that Tesco have it.

   No. They’ll both get wearables (each getting something I’m making as well as shop bought). There will probably be a book or set of books each, and perhaps a watchable (have got her a dvd, but not one for him yet). I’ve got a couple of crafty bits on order as well. But I’m trying to limit it somewhat, and I don’t want to give them a big stack of toys each. Over the last couple of years, my entire family (and there are rather a lot of them) has gone completely bonkers and they end up with enough stuff between them to stock a small orphanage. As they are both utterly unable to get rid of anything, the house is beginning to creak at the seams somewhat.

   yeah, kiddiknex in different sizes in tesco’s.
   although we buy more than one present, we try and be frugal, and they do include home ed stuff as well [SB asked for geometry stuff!]

   I follow a family tradition of showing generosity at Christmas. So I got over a quarter century of items ordered and all of them are stuff my offspring chose and really wants. Not counting with the advent calendar, stuff offspring buys and random presents to celebrate we are alive another day. 😀

    I very much agree with generosity and enjoying we are alive every day.
    I am lucky that I will again be spending xmas with a large amount of family at my house with a convivial atmosphere, only minimal lurking tensions and family dynamics, and the main slant being on enjoying each others company. we do play games, the tv doesn’t go on [nor is it requrested] .
    The children will have plenty enough presents to feel they have a lot, but not loads. We have neither the free money at the moment, nor the desire to do so. And although they re of quite different ages, a number of the presents are being bought to share from the outset by us and other family members.
    I am also lucky enough to buy small gifts through the year as I see them for the girls. Each to their own Leo.
