I know I’m going to sound like Scrooge here, but isn’t Christmas getting just too expensive?

Listening to my colleagues at work and the things they are buying their children, when did it become okay to spend £200-£400 on a main present, followed my multiple smaller presents of £30-£200 each gift?

At first I felt sorry for the poor parents and the stress this must cause. But then I realised that they have caused it. Why is it okay for a 7 year old to have an iPad and an iPhone, and the latest Dyson hairdryer?

The money spent is disgusting and I wonder where will it end?
