[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes...you sound very hostile OP. Don't give anything if you are so bitter about life. The world doesn't need any more negativity.

Like others have said ...experiences can be free. You could give the parents free babysitting. That would provide for a great experience. You could take the kid to a park or invite over for a sleepover.

This would 100% be viewed as being cheap. [/quote]

Nope. We don't want or need more crap. Honestly. Spending time is always a good idea. [/quote]

Little kids do not understand quality time. They understand Christmas equals gifts, and they absolutely notice if Aunt Sarah didn’t send a gift this year.[/quote]

Yikes. My kids don’t “keep tabs” on who doesn’t give them a gift. And they are super excited to go do fun stuff, even just fishing in Grandpa’s neighborhood or a trip to a play place down the street. Guess how much they care about the FOURTH fire truck they’ve been gifted in 2 years ...

Except for their most beloved toys, they don’t even notice when I do quarterly playroom decluttering/donation. If you don’t want to gift experiences fine, but know the cheap plastic junk you gift will be like setting your money on fire. [/quote]

+1 my toddler LOVES seeing his older cousins (they are in college). He wouldn't remember or care if they brought toys with them, but he loves it when they read him books before bed.

You taught your children how to understand Christmas, so don't project their greed on to others. [/quote]
