Holidays are coming! As the yuletime approaches and festivities begin, there are a few things every parent of teenagers know about Christmas.
1. Their gifts get smaller, yet more expensive.
2. Christmas parties mean less jelly and ice-cream and more alcopops and cider.
3. You get your own back by waking THEM up in excitement on Christmas morning!
4. You miss the days when their gifts to you were handmade, salt dough painted Santas.
5. No more nativities. Gone are the days of crying in the audience as your offspring monotones ‘Look at yonder star’ with a tea towel on their head.
