[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised at all of the stockings only (or and 1 gift) from Santa. In our house Santa brings everything, especially the big ticket items that “mom and dad would never buy”.[/quote] One reason we don't take this approach is that we live in a very socioeconomically diverse area. Our school and church have toy drives, etc. and it makes it hard to explain why there are needy families if Santa is bringing everything....[/quote] Hmm, never thought of that. Do your kids still get excited about Santa? We tend to do very small gifts from family and focus on together time and not presents (1 gift per gift giver, even grandparents) and Santa is all about the gifts. Our oldest is in K so haven’t dealt with comparisons yet. Not sure my kid even knows dollar amounts of items and is probably more excited for a $20 squishmallow than her more expensive gifts.[/quote]
