Island family's tradition splits opinion

An Island woman is at the centre of a Christmas-themed controversy again, after treating her children to a bumper haul of festive gifts.

Emma Tapping attracted global attention two years ago when she posted photos of her £1,500 present stash online.

The 37-year-old appeared on ITV's This Morning earlier in the week, revealing she'd spent even more this year on 350 presents for her three children.

A picture of her Foxdale living room this December shows only the tip of her Christmas tree visible behind a mountain of neatly-wrapped parcels.

Despite a raft of negative responses, Emma insisted she 'works hard' to fund the blowout, and doesn't spoil the family during the rest of the year.
