Hi

It's in the news that the Childrens Society have published research into what parents think of Christmas. In a poll of 2,500 parents, nearly half (48%) thought that there was competition between parents to buy their children the best Christmas presents, while 64% of those polled said that they felt Christmas had become too commercial.

Their free guide, Batteries not Included, shows how quality family time does not have to revolve around expensive toys and gadgets. It provides more than 100 ideas of things to do and games to play. It gives tips on making Christmas decorations and special things to eat, such as chocolate reindeer droppings! You can obtain a free copy of the guide by calling 08707 809 875

Children will of course retain precious memories of these sort of experiences, long after their expensive computer games have been superceded by the next must have gadget!

Sally.
