Lindsay Watson of Victor Harbour said: "I am not affected by the commercialism of Christmas but I think the kids expect too much mainly because of the television and catalogue advertising at this time of year.
"Many of the toys, particularly the elec-tronic games and remote control items are very expensive and I feel that some of the spirit and meaning has been lost in the scramble to keep up with the commercial side of Christmas.
"Father Christmas has taken over from the real significance of Christmas. "Another aspect of Christmas has been lost to the world of mobility. "Once families spent their Christmas holiday periods together, but now they are more mobile and spend their holidays either in-terstate or overseas, disrupting the togetherness of the festive season."
