Advantages: Chirstmas is great

Disadvantages: Its over too quickly

Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I must admit to getting very excited in the run up to it. In fact I think I am almost as excited about it as my children!! It hasn't always been like that. As a child we didn't have very much (yes sob sob!) and in fact christmas seem to be a neverending circle of arguments. But then I met my now husband and everything changed. Over the years I have had 2 'best christmas presents ever' and neither were material based. My first was that my husband proposed to me at midnight on christmas eve. It was wonderful and romantic and I will never forget it. The second was several years later when our daughter was born on christmas eve!! That was rather a surprise as she was not due until the middle of January. The best bit about it was we had been told we couldn't have any children and had tried for several years before I got pregnant quite out of the blue!! It was wonderful and was made extra special because she was born on Christmas Eve. Of course now she is 10 she hates having her birthday at christmas, but we always tell her she is lucky and that she was a very special christmas present for us. I suppose in the short term she didn't cost much as a present but long term she's cost a fortune!

Summary: The best christmas presents don't always cost money
