This Is How It Goes Down

Months of saving up and scrimping and cutting back, weeks of organising, shopping and organising more, staying on nice days for deliveries, hiding secrets under your bed...

Days of wrapping and stressing, sellotape teeth and carpal-tunnel...

An evening of carefully eating round a mince pie, drinking milk and chewing off a carrot, placing gifts under the tree like the Next VM has been in.

For your daughter to play with her brothers toy instead.
