Christmas spirit

So for about a year we've been on a frugal living kick and the kids were doing fine until the onslaught of Christmas advertising and seeing beautifully wrapped packages come their way. Michael has figured out from friends that Christmas is a wonderful excuse to ask for gratuitous gifts and Leah is doing a good job following suit.

Upon examining our Christmas tree last night Gerry exclaimed that we have too many presents and maybe we should give them to some kids who will not be receiving any nice presents for Christmas.

Michael stopped to think of what Gerry suggested and all of the implications of him not getting his ps3. Leah on the other hand cheered and whole heartedly agreed with Gerry right away, but qualified her statement a bit to only keep her presents, and share everyone else's.
