Making a conscious effort not to spoil our daughter at Christmas my husband and I vowed to stick to two gifts. Even though it’d be her first Christmas “understanding” presents and the joy they bring, we said we’d stick to two. I’m just of the mindset that spoiling early complicates the future. So, with this plan in mind we set off for our two gifts: one from us, one from Santa. I’m proud--we stuck to our guns, but what I surely didn’t take into account was the spoiling from others. By the time we finished our 5 days of family Christmas festivities we could barely get everything loaded to get it home. Gifts were literally oozing from our vehicle. Abby now has more toys then she knows what to do with, and I’m pretty sure she understands Christmas perfectly at this point. Despite our best attempts, she’s been spoiled. And while we are grateful to everyone for the beautiful gifts and love, we’ll try to make a run at an unspoiled Christmas again next year.
