British Woman Buys Xmas Gifts For 200 Family Members

A 90-year-old British grandmother always makes sure to take care of her family during the holiday season. According to the "Daily Mail," every year Edith Abbey buys a Christmas gift for every person in her family. It's become quite a tall task in recent years, as there are currently 200 people on Abbey's Christmas list. Assisted by her daughter Kathy Cooper, Abbey spends nearly 13-hundred-dollars each holiday season. Kathy discussed her mother's giving spirit, saying, quote, "She must be the country's most generous grandma. She is quite reserved but you can tell she gets great pleasure from seeing the look on the kids' faces when they open presents."
