I forgot to say what we're doing for Christmas. We've told DD1 it's going to be a tightarse christmas, but we've secretly purchased a fantastic and verrrrah niiiice lappy for her (which we were going to anyway so she's got something for her highschool work, and it was a total bargain) and E is getting a purple moon chair, and maybe a cd player. And a couple of books, dvds etc that i've found cheap over the year and stashed in the cupboard and maybe some new undies or pjs (ie things they needed anyway but I'll wrap them up and call them a pressie LOL).
