[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I see I am the overindulger in this crowd. I don’t think there is a number for “most kids” though OP. Tons of people seem to do the want, need, wear, read. Other do one or two, other 5, 10, 15 and more. When all is said and done my kids will probably have 25 or more this year. Sounds horrendous to many of you I’m sure, but it never seems like my kids have more stuff than other kids. Maybe we just buy less all year. My kids don’t have a video game console, don’t have their own devices (ages 9 and 10), they have a crap ton of books (and many of that huge gift number will be books, for one kids more than half will be books, though a couple of the gifts are 2-3 books from a series). DH and I both had huge Christmases from the beginning so it is just what we always did without thinking through it much. I feel okay about it. [/quote]

We are the same! The want/need/read thing always sounds so dreary to me personally. I don't want a checklist. I want a giant carnival christmas full of things to unwrap---even boring things like socks and underwear. [/quote]

Sounds dreary to me too! Too formulaic for our family.  Plus the kids really want toys when they’re little. [/quote]
