Isn’t that interesting. I would like to focus Christmas on the kids too. I guess this is easier since my brother and I both have children now. Maybe I can raise my son to think the same way 🙂

It is nice to have two less gifts to worry about. The bag to my parents house looks a lot smaller this year. I’m definitely warming up to the idea.

None of the adults need anything, and if we do we go buy it ourselves, so we focus on enjoying the time together and watching the little ones open their gifts. This time of year is bizarre for me, especially when I see adults posting wishlists; it just seems odd after the way I was raised.

We focus that money on the children instead. It works out really well!
