[quote=Anonymous]My kids (9, 9, and 12) get too much, but this isn’t the year to change that.

They will each get something handmade by me, and some matching pj’s on Christmas Eve.

Then on Christmas morning they will each get a stocking with a lot of small gifts that fit a theme.  My oldest will get a bunch of little things for his sport.  Mostly things that need to be replaced regularly, and that we might buy anyway.  My middle kid is getting a bunch of Harry Potter amigurumi, and my youngest is getting tools for a tool box.  Plus they will each get one “big” present from us (bike, swing, rollerblades) a big present from my mom which is always kind of educational (new instrument for the 12 year old, LEGO robotics kits for the little ones), and a smaller gift from my brother.  And each kid will get 2 small gifts from their siblings.

And then in the afternoon we‘ll head over to my husband’s Dad’s house and there will be a whole slew of relatives, each with a gift for each kid.

So what’s that?

About 20 each?  And probably 3 of them (one from me and one from each of their two living grandparents) would qualify as a “big” present by any reasonable standard.  [/quote]
