[quote=Anonymous]I have a teenager, which is different from a little one of course, but I probably spend over a thousand.  But, I also make almost everything a "Christmas gift".  Often I'll hear parents saying that they spend less than I do, but their children clearly have the same things mine does, so I figure they're just buying things as they go along, or maybe they do the opposite of us and spend a lot on birthdays and a little on Christmas?

Things that count or have counted as Christmas gifts in the last few years.

New shoes
Winter coat
Sports equipment (generally used)
Classes for his sports/sports team fees
Computer (to share)
A new comforter for his bed
Silly food gift (e.g. last year I put tabasco sauce in his stocking because he loves it)
Xbox games (again, generally used)

As I said, the other kids I know seem to have shoes, and coats, and comforters on their bed.  They play the same sports and use similar or more expensive equipment.  They turn in work that's clearly been done on a computer, and they play the same games he does -- I know because he tells me whose he's playing  n Xbox live.[/quote]
