[quote=Anonymous]My husband did not grow up celebrating Christmas, but has done so since we've been together, and he is all in on the present-giving part for our kids. The problem is that he's got this vision in his mind (tv? movies?) of a Christmas tree overflowing with wrapped gifts. Now our kids are older and they a) want more expensive electronics; b) gift cards; or c) money. But my husband still wants to see overflowing gifts. So now he tells me we don't have enough, and he goes out to get expensive, useless stuff. It's such a waste, and we are real middle class, not "DCUM" middle class. So much of this stuff ends up not being used or played with. My husband also thinks both kids musst get = number of presents, regardless of price. This year, our oldest kid wants a laptop, which we got. The youngest kid is getting less expensive things. It seems obvious to me that the older kid will have fewer packages because he got the one very expensive thing he wanted. My husband is out at the store now, buying more, expensive, useless crap, so it will be 'fair' (equal gifts) and be a 'good Christmas' (many gifts). [/quote]
