A mother who saw her picture of a mountain of presents for her children go viral last Christmas has shared an image of an even bigger pile.
About 300 gifts, which Emma Tapping has been wrapping for months, can be seen swamping her tree in the picture.
In 2015, the 36-year-old's photograph was shared more than 30,000 times on Instagram with many people criticising her and labelling her "materialistic."
However, the Isle of Man mother said her family "deserve a great Christmas".
Writing on Facebook, she said it had taken a year of "hard graft, saving and planning" to create the present pile.
She added that "the haters will hate but nothing and no-one will change how I do Christmas".

And it'll all be absolute gash inside - mini whoopee cushion, bag of easy peel clementines, 99p calendar, Poundland's own version of Barbie, shiny rayon Man United scarf from some £1 pop up shop, 1978 Jinty annual from local charity shop etc.

"Emma's daughter Ella still has untouched gifts lying around her bedroom from last Christmas."

Not sure I would bother to be honest, just get them the things they really want, rather than a load of old tat. But if she can afford it, then it is up to her.
