[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Want, need, wear, read is so depressing. If you don't want to purchase a lot of gifts, then don't. But why stick to something so strict? Just buy a few fun gifts and some clothes if needed. If you have a child that's going through a phase where they have slowed down on reading for fun and don't enjoy clothes, do you think they're going to enjoy christmas morning? Stop being scrooges. Or get your kid some socks, a book & a toothbrush, I guess.[/quote]

I hate the want/need/wear thing too! And year after year?!! What a bummer. [/quote]

+2 Seriously. And a majority of the people doing it are so proud they stick to the specific 4 gifts. The whole idea probably started off innocently, but then the mommy martyrs took over. I hope their kids enjoy their winter boots, pillowcases and book.[/quote]

Yes! And whenever someone new discovers it, they’re like, “loooooove this idea.”  But get upset when Santa brings a pile of toys for other kids. [/quote]

NP. Did you guys miss the “want” part? And the stockings?

Kid wants a $500 iPad or gaming system. Stockings get cool gadget toys, nail polish, cute hair bows. Needs a new backpack. Something to read are books they picked out at the school book fair and on their wish list. Something to wear is the fancy NYE dress, jammies, cute outfits.

That’s no different than other parents mentioning 4 gifts.[/quote]
