[quote=Anonymous]We only have the school Chromebooks and know many people in the same boat. No gaming systems. But my kids also have spring/summer birthdays. So with Christmas on one side of the year and birthday on the other, we save up almost all the gifts for those occasions. So Christmas may look big, but that's more than half of what they get all year. There's usually enough leeway to just say "put it in your Christmas/birthday list," then when they are narrowing down their lists before they holidays we find some of their "needs" or "wants" get crossed off. That waiting time helps ensure that it wasn't just a pushing fad, but it's something that is important to them. And there's delayed gratification for the rest that we do get. Also there are basic replacement things like socks wrapped under the tree and new toothbrush heads in the stockings.[/quote]
