it's all about the money

Every Christmas a chocolate coin is placed under

every plate at the dinner table .

My kids don't think it's "just like magic " anymore

but it really isn't the same Christmas unless I do it .

Last Christmas was a very traumatic one and I was

so distracted I didn't manage to get any coins .

The week or so before Christmas day I had

so many people hunting all the shops for me and

I was even ringing nearby towns looking for them .

This year it's going to be different .

I have so many gold coins they can all eat the

chocolate and maybe I won't have to cook !

Do you have your own little traditions?

Please tell about them , I love hearing nice stories.
