christmas question...?

Q. christmas question... okay so as a mommy i have had 3 past christmas times. my sons 1st christmas i lived at home with my mom so didnt have to pay bills other than my car and phone so my son got a lot spent on him for christmas and had A LOT of gifts. his second christmas the older ladies at work were talking about how they missed getting gifts for small children and would like to help out the associates with kids so they had employees with kids who wanted to participate write down their childs gender, age, clothing sizes, and what they liked. my son got about 6 toys and an outfit from that and i bought him 3 toys and an outfit. last year money was tight bc i was on my unpaid 7 week maternity leave so we had 1 income. my son got like 3 toys, a pillow pet, an outfit and had some candy/matchbox cars, and a dvd in his stocking. my daughter got a 2010 christmas teddy bear (since it has the yr she was born on it to keep as a keepsake thing and a little stuffed snow man in her stocking. .... so for 2/3 years our christmas's have been really small. this year im thinking of getting my son his first bike with training wheels (all he has now is a redflyer tricycle), a helmet, and an outfit (and stocking stuffers of course) and getting my daughter a baby doll, outfit, new shoes (and stocking stuffers) are my kids going to grow up thinking my christmas's stunk and were nothing special if they only get a small number of things? is it okay for now, but i should up the gifts as they get older??
also, my kids both have birthdays in the winter..my daughter is in november and my son is in february. they have huge birthday parties.

Answer
Well, our focus in regard to Christmas is on Christ. We do gifts, but we save big/multiple gifts for birthdays- that breaks the expense up, too.

I think that your children are getting PLENTY. Honestly, one year we did do a "big" Christmas- it was not meant to be that way, but I had bought more than I realized and they were overwhelmed by it all (not in a good way) and it was too much clutter to bring in at one time. Especially at their ages, keep it simple but even as they get older (I have four children ranging from 13 to 1) you do not have to go overboard.
