wine, and let the order of the day be meiriness and laughter rather than anxiety and tension, as the experts deal with a range of festive dilemmas. IS FATHER CHRISTMAS REAL?


Q: I think my children suspect tha t Father


Christmas isn't real. Should I tell them the truth? A: Agony aunt Suzie Dayman of www.agony-


aunt.com says: "If you suspect your children don't believe in Father Christmas anymore, you can almost guarantee it. Children tend to twig years before parents come to terms with it, because mums and dads like thinking of their kids as young and innocent. "If you teU the truth, it doesn't take the magic out


of Christmas, in fact I believe the reverse. If you believe in Father Christmas and don't get the pres­ ent you want, that means you're a bad child accord­ ing to the myth. It also means you don't recognise the value of the thing you've been given. "Really, the myth fosters an inability to recognise


somebody had to work hard to get these presents." CAN YOU REALLY RE-GIFT?


Q: I got two of the same top for my birthday in


November. Can I re-gift one of them to give to some­ one else? A: John Lewis stationery buyer Jenny Spiver says: "Sometimes - but do so with caution. My suggestion


would be to fol­ low these guidelines: f irs t and foremost, only give something you think the recipient would like to have. The item must be brand new and in its original package, and the person who gave you the gift and the new recipient shouldn't be able to ’ catch on that you've re-gifted. "Discretion is a must! If there's any chance ’


the friend who gave the gift could discover you've' passed it along, don't do it. "It's never a. good idea to re-gift a one-of-a-kind


present, especially if it was made for you." HOW CAN WE KEEP UP? Q: My brother and his wife are really wealthy


-we're a bit strapped for cash this year and can't real­ ly afford to buy them all presents. I don't want them to look down on us though. A; Lucy Beresford, psychotherapist and expert on


the psychology of Christmas presents, says: "There seems to be a fear the presents have got to be exactly comparable - the same price or the same degree of lavishness as the gifts you get. "Unfortunately a lot of people believe that, but it


isn't how present giving ought to be. The price of the gift often gets in the way of aU the other elements. I t shouldn't be about the money- think of things th a t are more appropriate. These people may have loads of cash, but they may be lacking in time, so volunteer to baby-sit or something.

problem is that as soon as you walk into your par­ en ts ' house, you may be 40 years old and a professor, you go straight back to being a little boy or g ir l. That may mean you don't see the adults playing m a n i p u l a t i v e games within your family. If your wife is being made to feel small and unwelcome, that's a game you need to wake up and see. " I t can be man­


aged by the o u t­ sider, the wife in this case, recognis­ ing people play these games, so not taking it personally. "Also, take i t in


tu rn s to have Christmas at your partner's parents, your parents and your own house."

again holding its "Light up a Life" campaign. As well as making a donation in


memory of a friend or loved one, those supporting the scheme -will' receive a card dedicated to that person, as well as being offered


the opportunity to attend one of two services which will be held at the hospice in Park Lee Road, Blackbum, on Saturday, Decem­ ber 19th arid Sunday, December 20th from 3-30 p.m. The short services will include


music, a lone piper, a few words of remembrance and a moments silence which will lead to the lights being switched on where they will remain on throughout the festive period. A draft copy of th e book of


remembrance will also be avail­ able for -viewing, Once bound, the


m


final copy will be on view a t the hospice as well as a t other loca­ tions in the New Year. The event, which is being spon­


sored by Co-operative Funeral Care, is one of a number of fund­ raisers held each year to help maintain the hospice's services for people li-ving in Blackbum, Dar- wen, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley.- • .Anyone wanting a "Light up

HAPPY birthday to zoo - one Chatbum res­ ident's 40th birthday bash was attended by a range of animal guests. Snakes, lizards and even an owl were


among the ■visitors from a mobile zoo which pro-vided entertainment as Yvonne Baker, who lives at the Manor House in Chatbmm, marked her special milestone with family, friends. In honour of the occasion, staff dressed in


'80s-style fashion, an era enjoyed by the birthday girl. The party was an extra special event as
