Although I will say we're doing pretty well so far. The other week I had the kids narrow down their lists into more 'attainable' and realistic items. It was after a rant about how overwhelmed with 'stuff' our house gets at Christmast time, the true meaning of Christmas and the reality of how expensive things are these days.
We'll see how things go come gift opening time. We're keeping it simple again and limiting the amount of gifts this year. Good luck at your house too!!
Your house too? Darn toy catalogs!
