“Children will benefit from the chance to get involved in this year’s Christmas crafting of crackers, decorations and home cooked traditional fare.
“The interesting stat is that when it comes to children, the reported trend for a home-made Christmas will not be at the expense of their presents. For parents there is reward in giving toys as presents, and a real joy in watching children play with them”.
But while families are reverting back to traditional methods of living, children are still experiencing a consumerist Christmas by receiving plentiful gifts.
This year, 22% of children under the age of ten will receive gifts worth between £100 and £150, and only 15% will receive gifts worth between £25 and £50.
