Big fat zero. The joy of having small families on both sides.

Yes, yes I can see that.
I jest.
£20 per kid, except for the 2 in Canada, who get something TINY as posting stuff costs a bomb. They'll get something nice when we next see them.

6 - nephews and nieces over 16 are off my list unless they give me a nice single malt.

Oh. £20 for nieces and nephews represents good solid middle class VALUES.
We have the same budget in our extended family. It's only CHAVS like [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] who tend to splurge obsene amounts of money on the nippers isn't it?

Yes, but you don't have half the child population of Sussex to buy pressies for do you.
"Oh but the look on their faces is priceless" NO it's f***ing not, it is PRICEY.
And I've got to cook for 22 on Christmas day, the fact that my 2 bed with ONE bog is the smallest in the entire family seems to have been lost on the freeloading wankers too.

Tidy rant.
I DO like cooking Christmas DINNER though. I run the show in our house. It's the only time I feel comfortable BULLYING my wife.

10 (ten), made up thus:
2 of my own
3 nephews
5 children of good friends
Contrary to uber-pleb [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION], we also spend in the £15-£20 mark for the latter 8. We do seem to go a bit crazy on our own, but I'm never going to make apologies for that.
