Presents? Girly things for the 11-year-old, Lego and things for the younger.
It's something we've been doing for a few years now and as pleasant a family gathering as you could have.

My teacher granddaughter had to hold down a part time job and study at University, so naturally am very proud of her and the excellent results she received.
My second oldest granddaughter wants to be a paramedic so is working hard to get good exam results for next year. She really needs laptop for school. The grandson is just that a typical boy, eat, sleep and play games on his console, but needs his own laptop for his mounting homework
I sometimes wonder how some families cope with the schools demand for homework which has to be produced on computers and emailed back to them?

I am lucky enough to have my grandchildren living close enough to see them almost every day, so I do feel for you.

Re: The grandchildren and Christmas
We won't see our grandchildren until about 5.00pm on Christmas day this year when, along with my son and his children we will go up to my daughter's house for a buffet tea. First time this has happened where we haven't done a Christmas lunch for everybody, but things change. Not sure what to get them for Christmas either - the two older boys have asked for money or vouchers and I will probably get the other two younger ones tablets. It'll be alright on the day I suppose.|
