Hi Guys and Gals,With Christmas fast approaching, I want to know if you have ever been disappointed on Christmas morning....were you expecting something that you didnt get, or were you unable to get a gift for someone you know they really wanted, did you not hear from a loved one.....or worst of all when was the fantasy of father Christmas shattered for you!!!!
I dont like Christmas as much as I used to as there are people who aren't around to share it with me any more but I make it a very special Day for my children, I love to see their faces light up as they open their presents, but as they are getting older I am finding it increasingly difficult to keep things hidden.....We still keep up the pretense of santa as 2 of the 3 still believe, the eldest thinks he is sooo important now as he is let in on a couple of secrets that the younger 2 miss out on!!!Anyway, What have your biggest Christmas disasters been?

I don't remember ever having a sense of let down on Christmas Day. As a child I never had an inkling what I was going to get and as an adult I tend to buy what I want when I want it. I expect nothing for Christmas and am always delighted when people remember. Our biggest disaster, other than the day that I felt so ill (not the booze) that I carved the turkey and went to bed, was probably the day that my mother put the turkey in the oven, we went to visit family expecting to come home to a sumptuous dinner (my family eats in the evening) only to discover that she'd forgotten to switch the oven on!! Thank goodness for corned beef. LOL.
