[quote=Anonymous]My mother does this. Like 20 presents per child. Some are extravagant. It’s way, way overboard. My DH hates it. I hate it. We are gracious and we accept it. I basically have never gotten my own child Christmas gifts, since I can’t see heaping more onto the pile, and we don’t do Birthday gifts (well, my mother sends them one of course). We are just not materialistic. My kids have 1 day of the year where they get all these presents and the rest of the year they can save their allowance or earn money if there’s something they want. But most of the time there’s nothing they want! I don’t think the insane Christmases have spoiled them. They know it’s their grandmother’s thing. Someday she’ll be gone and maybe we will miss it. But I don’t think I’ll be doing it if I have grandkids.[/quote]
