[quote=Anonymous]“Larla and Larlo get one treat per day, usually at school. If you send candy, I have to throw most of it out. But if you send ____they can keep it and enjoy it.” You open all packages without kids. If she sends candy, you toss it and give them the card with like 2 pieces pf candy. But you have to make reasonable suggestions for alternatives. My in-laws know that we love stickers and balloons and bubbles and sidewalk chalk. Those are all things they can get in various holiday themes, usually right alongside the candy at the grocery store. If they go overboard and send too much, we just do a big project (one time I spent an hour friday night blowing up like a hundred balloons to make a ball pit in the playroom. Kids had a blast, then I popped them all and the balloon collection was back to manageable size).[/quote]
