This was getting way too long in "comment" form, so here goes:First of all, props to you Bri for sticking up for your husband even though everyone seems to make it so easy to knock him down. I think Neil is a wonderful father and that your two girls are very lucky to have such caring parents.
I love Christmas...I love gifts...perhaps it's because my parents did fill the living room with presents on Christmas morning (and continue to do so). I have fond memories of those mornings...but I hope I would still have the same fond memories were there not so many gifts under the tree. As I get older I feel really guilty about all of it. I don't want or need so much stuff. I don't want our kids to get so much stuff. Wasteful is what it is...and sad because there are so many children who won't get even one gift this year. It's really kind of insane because after I told my mom that we didn't need so many gifts this year, I felt bad...it's kind of her thing I guess. I agree with the sentimentality as well as the meaning behind getting three gifts. The most fun for me is trying to find that perfect gift for the right price.

Thanks for backing me up when it comes to Neil. Some things are all fun and games but when it comes down to it he really is a great husband and father.
I think it's great that you guys like sharing gifts and buying for eachother. Maybe I wouldn't have so much of an issue with the Holiday spending if I didn't hate shopping so much :)
it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
don't ever pursue a career in the exciting world of retail. stick with the baby raising. your holiday spirit will come back one day.
I think...and I'm not speaking from experience here...but I think that you might like it more if you could go with some girlfriends (or your mom) sans babies.
