Is Christmas spoiling our kids?

We have seen reports in the papers this week about how much families are planning to spend on their children this Christmas.

One family plans to spend Β£750 on each of their children. Is that obscene, or frankly none of our business? Is Christmas spoiling our children?

Are you having a cut-back Christmas? Are you feeling the pressure already?

If you have set a price limit for the children or grandchildren how much is it?
Is it OK to spoil them once a year, it Christmas after all?

What makes a family?

Can you be a proper family if you do not have a mum and a dad? Only one-in-six people in Britain think they live as part of a "traditional" family. Parenting expert Professor Tanya Byron is part of the group behind the claims.

We hear your stories, views and opinions.
