[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 327865, member: 393"] [SIZE=3]Lisa, depending on the child's age it really is about opening the gift & the whole excitement of Christmas morning. I would stop worrying. During hard times for my parents we got one gift; as the grandchildren were born & if my parents were hurting that year my mom would buy a family gift for each of the grandkids family. Tickets for a movie for the family (much cheaper in the 80's), she'd bake a month's worth of cookies or their favorite desert. Homemade hot chocolate mix. Again, this is the time of year for kids to learn about giving & receiving. You've done what you can - probably more than you should have. If you're regretting those gifts, you should take them back & use the money for bills or whatever. Then bake up a storm of cookies or dip pretzels in chocolate. This is about giving....this year the grandkids may have to learn that lesson. Just MHO. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
