A WOMAN has stunned people with her Christmas reveal video - because of how many pressies she has.

She shared the video in August, explaining it was her 'POV' - point of view - on Christmas morning.

She hash-tagged it 'spoilt' - and it certainly divided opinion (with many people merely asking why she was sharing a video of Christmas in August).

After she was trolled she issued an explanation: 'This is for 15-16 of us,' she said, adding they donated a lot of the presents after use.

'My mom always buys discounts and sales. Also there are bigger items in the back.'

'It's beginning to look like pure greed in your living room,' said one person.

'Do you have 100 family members?' questioned another, while someone else asked: 'I'll be lucky if I get one present under the tree this year.'

Another wrote: 'I get one present every year.'

'People need to think about themselves - if this is how you do Christmas, good for you.'

'Why not spoil your kids?'

And some people were just desperate to join her family. 'You need a sister? A dog?' joked one woman.

I dont know about any of you, but it does seem a bit excessive. But hey, each to their own I suppose! 

I cant help but think of families who are not in a position to buy anything for their children at Christmas, and believe me, there are a lot of families in that position over here as I imagine the same the world over.

The pressure at Christmas for families in need is overwhelming. Each year I volunteer with local charities delivering gifts to families in need and whilst the charities do their best, there remains a deficit at this time of year.

There was a family who came to see me one year.  The kids gave me a long list if things that they wanted.

The Dad, looked at the list and said, "Baby Jesus only got three gifts..."

    • 10 Essentials to Being a Better Santa
      Here are some DOs and DON'Ts on being Santa

      Treat every child with respect.


      Never make fun of a child.


      Look into the child’s eyes when you speak to them.


      Speak softly. Children are sharing confidences with you.


      Acknowledge a child’s requests even if you don’t understand them.


      Never promise a toy request to avoid a child’s disappointment.


      Never promise a pet. Santas a toymaker and only animals produce pets.


      If the child can’t remember their wish list, assure them you know what they want.


      Never leave a child wondering if Santa heard their Christmas wishes.


      Every child worries about being on Santas “Naughty or Nice List”. Tell each child “You’re on the “Nice List.” It will bring happiness to everyone!

    • How do You Portray Santa?
      Portraying Santa is acting; it is a characterization of a mythical character.

      Most of us never think of ourselves as actors, but we are. Certain characteristics of Santa Claus have been handed down from one generation to another. The way we dress and conduct ourselves all follow an established pattern.

      Santa Claus is one of the most recognizable characters throughout the world. This came about from the advertising campaign of the Coke Cola Company and the creative painting genius, of Haddon Sundblom. Coke Cola was looking to increase winter sales of its soft drink and hired Sundblom to produce illustrations for prominent magazines. These illustrations appeared during the holiday season from the late 1930s into the early 1970s and set the standard for how Santa should look.

      This characterization of Santa with rosy cheeks, a white beard, handlebar mustache plus a red costume trimmed in white fur is the image most everyone has in their minds. Unconsciously people are going to judge you against that image. If your beard isn’t white or you have a soiled suit it will register with the onlooker.

      By the way, the majority of Sundblom's paintings depict Santa with a Brown Belt and Brown Boots. Not until his later illustrations did he change the color to Black for these items. Within the past few years many costume companies have offered the Coke Cola Suit and it has become very popular. You can tell it by the large buttons and absence of fur down the front of the jacket.

      No matter how you portray Santa, be it home visits, schools, churches, parades, corporate events, malls, hospitals we all make an entrance and an impression! The initial impression we make determines if our client will ask us to return.

      The 5 Second Rule

      I have a theory: When you enter the presence of your audience you have about 5 seconds to make people believe you are the real Santa.

    • Not Everyone Can Be Santa!
      Yes, I said it and it is not meant to hurt anyone’s feelings. I do view many Facebook sites along with websites and posted photos. Frankly, many of these postings should have never been put on public display.

    • Auld Lang Syne
      Every New Year’s Eve at the stroke of midnight, millions around the world traditionally gather together to sing the same song, “Auld Lang Syne”. As revilers mumble though the song’s versus, it often brings many of them to tears – regardless of the fact that most don’t know or even understand the lyrics. Confusion over the song’s lyrics is almost as much of a tradition as the song itself. Of course that rarely stops anyone from joining in.

    • Is it time to start calling out Bad Santas?
      Is it time to start calling out Bad Santas?

      Do you think we should start calling out those in our community whose actions or behavior is unbecoming of Santa Claus or Mrs. Claus?
