Yes, Daddy used to do Christmas Hampers for various friends/relatives, once he died he stopped doing it, funny thing was he died on a Christmas Eve, funny that.

Must start for the old's next door.

Couple of years ago, got from somewhere 24 cans of moggy nosh for ?5, well happy

Why on earth give presents on Christmas Eve to your family as well as on Christmas Day? How much do they want?

Christmas Eve Hampers were traditionally given to the poor by those who were better off. The tradition died out with the Welfare State.

I'm poor any better off Dk'ers here (I'm only middle class) --The welfare state is almost dismantled now, possibly be completed by Christmas?

The welfare state is almost dismantled now.

Complete myth. No one in this country is really poor anymore.

I've met people on benefits who'd think they were poor if they didn't have Sky and a 42in flat
screen to watch it on.

A return to the pre 1948 days would give them a hell of a reality check.

(Let's not get off- topic though.)

tony Blair hands them out now......
