We as parents then give each kid an outfit, Book, and a surprise. (usually something they are in need of.) When I was a child my parents did this and told us if Christ received three gifts why would we expect more?? good point. Thanks for your suggestions.Heather Petersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163722242988653124.post-86974904868010822102008-11-04T15:30:00.000-07:002008-11-04T15:30:00.000-07:00We just implemented this into our Christmas this year. I had the kids go check the mail and there was a letter from Santa explaining how Christmas is going to work this year. I am excited and I think it will be a good change for our family.

Have you tried it...or i should say, are you going to try it??? I guess you would really have to think about it for it to work...I mean, for your kids to get used to the idea!Brooke Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07072431166825873387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163722242988653124.post-12919784922362920252008-10-17T12:44:00.000-06:002008-10-17T12:44:00.000-06:00We started limiting our christmas shopping to four gifts and one from Santa a few years ago. I love it. At first I felt bad not buying them "everything" but four gifts per kid fills up the tree just fine and they still have plenty to be excited about!Tamrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11790849058089356155noreply@blogger.com
