Default Re: Christmas: Do children expect too much?

My kids are still very young and up until last year, we were so extremely poor that I made such a big deal out of just the holiday and not the gifts. They love opening presents, but their attention spans are short so they're ready to play after one or two is open!

My little brother on the other hand (I was 18 when he was born), now he's been pretty much raised as an only and my parents have a lot of money and he gets things I'd never in a million years even try to ask my parents. We all kinda spoil him. But, he's got two toyboxes overflowing with toys and he's never really happy, and I think that's sad. Give mine a truck and a bag to play with, and they're quiet for HOURS!!
