6/ At 25 years old: spoiling your loved ones with your first salary and/or having your first dinner at the “in-laws”
It might be the first Christmas that spend at your “in-laws” and you spoil all your family members with expensive presents now that you have your first salary!
7/ At 35 year old: You offer middle-class presents or refuse to receive any altogether, or have to miss out on the champagne as you are expecting a very special present
You are pregnant and proud of it, but for the rest of the family the Christmas dinner is not as it used to be. Shame that you have lost an appetite for a roast, smoked salmon, mince pies… and of course no champagne!
8/ At 45 years old: You do all the cooking yourself and empty your bank account to please your spoiled children
When you approach 50 Christmas takes on another dimension.
9/ At 65 years old: Pull out the Santa Claus costume
Ah yes, that’s it, it’s your turn now!
10/ At 85 years old: You help out with festivities as if you are watching a silent film.
After you’ve reached 75 years old, the Christmas meal is played out like a silent film as the constant chatter tires you out. Can’t wait for the moment I can head to bed!
