'Tis the season to splash out and be jolly...and three lucky ladies won't be worrying about the bills when they start rolling in after Christmas.

Trish Emson, Mandy Wright, and Alison Hamilton have all hit it big on the UK National Lottery with their families, sharing more than £7 million between them.  So how will this year's Christmas be different and what kind of presents will they be buying for their family and friends?

Here they share how they will be spending their big day and what kind of gifts will be in Santa's stocking...

Trish, 34
My Gift List

-PAYING off the £18,000 mortgage on our home

-BUYING parents' council house for them for £7,000

-NEW Toyota Avensis car and caravan - total £26,000

-LOADS of fishing gear and clothes for Graham - £1,000

Trish Emson, a canteen worker, from Rotherham won £1.74m with fiance Graham Norton, 35, a painter and decorator, in October. She says:

LAST Christmas I got up at 6am and worked my socks off from 7am to 2.30pm doing breakfast and dinners for 300 in a canteen.  I was on £4.80 an hour but I've just packed the job in, so this year will be very different. I will be taking it easy.

I actually finished my Christmas shopping in March, which is bad news for my friends because that was well before the win. But I'll spoil my nieces and nephews with lots of toys now.

Graham and I have paid off our mortgage of £18,000 which is quite a big present to ourselves. I'm also buying my parents' council house for them, which will only cost £7,000 as they've been there 30 years.

And we're going to buy Graham's mum a special bed which goes up and down because she's disabled. She lives with us and we're also going to re-fit her bedroom for her.

We plan to spend around £10,000 on a caravan and take a cruise next summer as we've been too busy to take a holiday since the win. I'm getting a new car too, but I'm only upgrading to a £16,000 Toyota Avensis. Graham's got his van for fishing, and he doesn't want anything flashy either.

Last Christmas I bought him an £180 X-Box computer console but this year I'll probably spend £1`,000 on clothes and fishing gear. I don't know what he'll get me. He bought me a £700 gold ring last year, and I know if I wanted diamonds, he'd happily buy me some.

We don't want to move to a bigger place - Graham's been in this house 33 years and says he'll never leave.

On Christmas Day I'll cook as usual, and Graham's mum Senny and my mum and dad, Clive and Mary, will be with us. We'll have prawn tail to start with then turkey. It won't be an organic bird though, we don't bother with all of that.

I'm having IVF as we're trying for a family and if you asked me to choose between a baby or the money, I would say take all the money back.

Hopefully next Christmas we'll have a baby with us. That would be the best Christmas present of all."

Mandy, 35
My Gift List

-PAYING off mortgage on our new house

-AUDI TT for me and BMW X5 for Jeff - £70,000

-FIVE-STAR family break in Tenerife - £5,000

-MORE than £500 on toys for our two boys

Mandy Wright, a housewife, from Pontefract, West Yorks and husband Jeff, a former scaffolder, also 35, won £1million on a scratchcard in November. She says:

LAST Christmas we had just moved to a new house and didn't have a spare penny. We couldn't really go to town with presents.

This year when our children Declan, 5, and Darcy, 3, see toy adverts on the telly and say, "Can I have that?", we can say, "yes" and really mean it. We expect to spend more than £500 on them.

I've already had my Christmas present - I got my husband back. Jeff started a scaffolding business two years ago and was working seven days a week. Me and the kids barely saw him and he only got Christmas Day off.

He'd aged ten years and was always tired. Now he can take things easier.
