Kids are being told it's generic meat. Don't need em knowing they're eating rudolph Is it not quite expensive ? I will leave punchline to others. Our Xmas will be very quiet although step kids are older they alternate houses each Xmas and at their dads this year. Family fall out means brother law and his kids won't be coming round. So just me, the missus and her mum.

He would love it, but I've been conditioned to think he needs immediate gratification on Christmas morning. I'll bear it in mind. Cheers. Im sure I've read recently they aren't taking anymore bookings for it. We did it for my lads Birthday the other year. Was brilliant tbf. We wrapped the kit up with his name on back and did the email confirmation all fancy in a box.

Maybe next year there'll be some available on the 19th of December because I haven't planned anything.
December 19, 20223 yr Mushy peas are rank, to put them with the rest of a Christmas dinner still gives me goosebumps.

Recording software on his PC. I'd be absolutely fuming if he wasn't the lovely lad he is. Proper over-compensated trying to give him stuff I didn't have. Fishing stuff is probably my next port of call. Edited December 19, 20223 yr by Cheese

Starting to sound like he's a spoilt brat, but he's the exact opposite. He'd give everything he owns to another kid if they wanted it. Or swap it all for a day out fishing with me. I'm just a shit dad who's been brainwashed to think 'objects' are important. I'm the failure in this scenario.
