Choice about presents...

You know I recently seen first hand one of the those bad things that my kids could have been tought. The fact that one child got more gifts then the other. Had to have that long talk about how his gifts cost more and how he should be greatful for what he gets. After talking the wife and I made the choice to only get our kids one toy this year. I spent a bit of time in my son's room looking around at all the toys he owns and never plays with. Really, every year the family buys him a ton of toys. What does he play with? the Game console, the computer... not the toys. So no more wasting money and buying stuff that will collect dust.

Plus this allows us to really focus on what Christmas is about... which belive it or not, is not presents.
