Mother: There's nothing wrong with my family's Christmas

A mother who spent £1500 on Christmas presents for her family has defended her right to indulge them.

Emma Tapping, 35, from the Isle of Man, was met with criticism when she shared her photos on social media of the 300 or so presents.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, she said her family has always had a "huge Christmas" and insists she doesn't buy "just to make up their numbers".

Her photos went viral with Emma receiving criticism and abuse on social media for what some have described as spoiling her three kids.

The images have since appeared in the papers, but the mother of three told presenter Rachel Burden that they have been published without her permission, as she doesn't want her pictures to be "splashed all over the internet".
