Ok I have a 6 year old and an almost 3 year old...how does one explain to them that Santa mentioned that he can only bring 3 gifts this year....especailly when they talk to their friends who got everything under the sun (or Toys R Us rooftop anyway)? My 3 year old will care less but my 6 yr old will have MANY questions!!! And from mom and dad they each get PJ's, a book, slippers, and one small toy. So your idea's?
TIA!!!

Although my mother never said anything to us about money, I remember one year that we didn't get very many presents. I just figured Santa knew I had been 'naughty' instead of 'nice', ha ha ha!!!
