Stephanie at Stop The Ride is thinking about something I have been thinking about lately: keeping the clutter out of Christmas. She has lots of great advice, including this:
2. Start by limiting yourself.
Set yourself a limit, either in
dollars or quantity of toys, you will buy for your children. To see the
system we use please refer to Four for Christmas.
I had been thinking about three toys per kid for Christmas, but four is a nice, round number, too. Stephanie’s advice about keeping the relatives from giving your kids hordes of toys is great, too. I have already talked to my mom- the person most likely to add to the toy mountain- and she agrees that this Christmas should be simpler than in the past.
What are you doing to limit the Christmas toy mountain? Or are you?
