Christmas lists...

My in-laws stopped by for a visit yesterday. One of their prime objectives was to get our children to make out their Christmas wish lists. My in-laws always try to get the children everything on their lists which drives me a wee bit crazy. The children could put on their lists, and I have no doubt that they would get them. I am thankful for the gifts they are given, but I also don't agree with spoiling them rotten. I kindof wish they would spread their spending out over the year so that the children appreciate the things they are given just a bit more. When you get gift after gift all at once they don't seem as impressive as if you are given some here and there.
