So with Christmas just around the corner, I have been thinking about what I am going to be buying this year for every one. Obviously the main people that I will be buying for will be my kids and nephews, but what do I get them this year? I don't know about every body else, but everything is getting so expensive these days, I mean there are so many gadgets around and of course new video games and consoles, and of course every child is telling us... "I want that". So where do we draw the line? Is this why the county is in so much trouble financially, because everyone is buying these new high tech gadgets and therefore have no money left to pay for bills? For example, its November 2013, so if course what is coming out this month??? Yep, you guessed it the new Xbox One and not only that but Playstation 4 is also being released. Naturally they planned to release both these new consoles right near Christmas so they get more sales. Well sorry but I am not spending over £400 quid on one present for Christmas, that just seems ridiculous. Even video games like the ones ones people spend hours queuing up for over night cost over £40 each, I mean is just ridiculous.
Sometimes I do think that these new technology products out there these days are taking away our children, I mean they seem to stop being kids because they have all this new technology to play with, where as before kids had an imagination. There are two sides to this argument though, because my little one actually understood how to use an iPhone at the age of 2, so I installed a load of educational apps on it and he learnt things quicker than my eldest did because things like that were not around when he was little. So thoughts on Christmas presents? My way is one big present and lots of little inexpensive ones is that the best idea or do you think just spend a certain amount of money?
