[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand. Who bought the gifts? My kids don't have any gifts under the tree that I expect to donate or throw away in 6 months time. It's possible there are one or two that could wind up being wrong for them, in which case we will donate or give away. But we were the ones who bought the gifts. We didn't buy a bunch of garbage destined for the landfill. We considered space and what kids already had when we purchased. Also we always do a small clean out prior to Christmas and birthdays where we go through kids toys and clothes and identify anything that is too small or young or doens't work anymore, and either hand off to younger friends or cousins or, if it's been too well loved, throw away. Thus we always have some space for the new gifts to be put away and organized. You're in charge. You shouldn't have to "cope" with a holiday where you decide what and how much to buy.[/quote]
