We are struggling as it is so christmas is gonna be more about spending time together and experiencing new things with the kids - snow in the mountains and cypriot festivities. It is my mums birthday on 20th dec, my brothers' on christmas eve and my son's on christmas day. Presents for folks back in Ireland will be pictures and art work by the kids. Birthday will be hand made cards and as for our son's presents....we haven't decided on that one yet

They are only 3 + 5 so I want them to have all the magic I can provide for them, I dont want christmas to just mean presents for them...
And I've gotta figure out when we will do the 3yr olds birthday, too much for him on Christmas Day lol!
