Nothing electronic at all. But all stops for the game of charades and give us a clue. Christmas Eve. And new years day. And more thought goes into their "Christmas act" than anything else. That remids me I have to do something too.

When my children were small I was a full-time stay at home mum, so we didn't have much money but we had a lot of time together. My 2 loved to help make biscuits and home-made sweets for aunties/grans/godmothers/neighbours. We had great fun decorating the boxes and they were on the whole well-received. My son now has an extremely well-paid job and feels that he has to lavish very expensive presents on us all. I supppose it's his way of saying that he loves us but I can't seem to persuade him that we'd be just as happy with simple things.

I'm in the middle with this lol because I'm 13 myself so yeah.

My parents aren't rich, far from it, most of the time we hardly have any money. I can't remember about what I got when I was younger, but it wasn't much and we were greatful for it, I doubt they ever spent over £80 on me when I was younger. In the past few years they have started spending more on me as I've got older and became greedier

I don't want to be greedy, and I'm not, but when my friends have had like £500 spent on them for christmas and another £300 for their birthday it's hard not to want everything you see.

I don't NEED anything. I have a DS which I love, a TV and DVD player in my room, mobile phone, my own computer etc..all of these were christmas or birthday presents though, my parents can't afford to just randomly decide to buy me a new £150 phone one day. I would like a new monitor (I have an old "big" one at the moment because my other one died), a new digital camera, a new mobile, a new mp3 player.....but, really, I need none of that. My monitor works fine, it's just big..the digital camera works fine, just a new one would be nice..my mobile and mp3 player work fine but are kind of old now. I don't know what to ask for for christmas, I think I will ask for a new camera. I am greatful for whatever I get though.

Anyway, no need to fret, my parents will probably get our presents a week before christmas Maybe a bit earlier lol they can't afford it anyway.

Also, my brother annoys me, he wants an xbox 360 for christmas and loads of games for it and my parents wont be able to afford that, yet he'll still ask for it
