Although I love Christmas, I do find it a bit overwhelming - it does turn into such an expensive extravaganza. We have had to cut back drastically this year, and to be honest I am enjoying it - less shopping, less wrapping etc. I have been to the grandchildren's Christmas concert today and it was about the real meaning of Christmas image. I am going to send a donation to the homeless charity, as all our family are lucky enough to have a roof over our heads, enough to eat, a family to love us and enough to spare for a few treats.
