[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 106649, member: 84"] I've always been one strict Mom. But I have to say I wouldn't. Maybe have a direct punishment before and after the day, but Christmas should stay Christmas. It happens only once a year. These are not teens. They are young children. One with serious issues, the other too young to realize that copying brother is NOT a good idea. Cut out the hype, certainly. (might help tone things down some) Cut back on presents, sure. But I wouldn't take it from them completely. You only get 1 Christmas a year. The holidays always brought out the worst in Travis til I learned how to tone it down to where he could handle them better. Still even then there were times when he could all but drive me over the edge. But taking his Christmas from him never once entered my mind. I don't think they're even old enough to "get" the message you hope to send. Hugs [/QUOTE]
