We do a big christmas lunch with the whole family before we go and exchange pressies, but the gals get their christmas presents in florida as they usually want clothes etc so have a field day telling us what they want as the christmas money goes so much further in dollars than in pounds!

They were very impressed the first year we were there for christmas with their christmas stockings - candy canes and mini marathon sweets (can't remember what they are called now!) as well as tangerines and their stocking fillers. So this is now an institution when in florida and quite different to their stockings in the UK.

My husband did his usual and hadn't got me a thing last year, so he was saved when I found a fossil watch en route to going to the cinema at Universal Citywalk! I'm not holding my breath this year![msnwink][xmas1]
