A mum-of-six has admits she doesn't let Father Christma s take credit for the presents she buys her children every year, and she puts them under the tree weeks before the big day.
Cheryl Cooper, 40, from Colchester, Essex, has spent £3,000 on gifts for her brood as well as family and friends but she hasn't finished shopping yet, and she doesn't hide them away until the night before Christmas.
Instead, Cheryl wraps her presents, then places them under the tree for weeks before December 25 - to avoid the little ones trying to find them. The mum-of-six, wants Lewis, 23, Mason, 21, Millie-Leigh, 17, Lacie-mae, 14, Cassius, six and Lennox-Bear, three, to know that both 'mum and dad' have worked hard to provide their gifts.
