[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just thought of another reason: If you set the precedent of getting an expensive gift for Christmas, this is what they will expect every year, and simpler gifts are then a let down. No kid or teen needs an expensive item every year around Dec 25. Laptops, bikes, phones, etc can last for many years and you get them when it's a good and convenient time. You don't upgrade just because it's the holidays. [/quote] OP here, My kids have never really had trouble with that. They also don't have trouble with me buying something in advance of the holiday, because they need it in advance (e.g. the basketball shoes they want at the beginning of basketball season) and telling them "this is a Christmas gift".
