Is it just me, or does everyone have pretty much what they need? We don’t buy much anymore for the holidays, even birthdays, because the gifts don’t mean as much. I know I grew up poor—didn’t own a new pair of jeans until I was 14, and I bought those. Nowadays, you mention hand-me-downs and kids just about have a stroke. At some point,it just seems like the buying has to level off. Any thoughts?

I agree. The kids have everything then need and want. I hate to buy toys for my 4 year old. She has inherited all her older sisters toys. I may just wrap the toys she has not played with or looked at in years!
