This is a huge number of gifts. [/quote]

I posted it and there are a lot of gifts, plus he'll receive some other gifts and gift cards from grandparents.  We always buy many items for Christmas and birthdays - we probably spend the same (or less) on Christmas as those with large immediate and extended families, but we buy for fewer people.  [/quote]

It's not about the spending for me. It's about other things. To each his own, though.[/quote]

Huge list.  You must be a 1%er.  Seriously, that list is insane and sending the wrong message.  Your child will be accustomed to receiving so much for birthdays and christmas.  What happens when that child grows up and can't keep the pace with buying him/herself all the things they want?  Will you continue to provide or will your child sink themselves into bankruptcy?  Not a sermon, just a thought  :)
