He just thinks he is having fun. The gifts are spread out some because they are from different people...and I do put many of them away for later in the year so he does not see them again for a while. It is just my way of being practical. That way he does not think he gets presents "just because." Ah, but he has no idea that all those are for learning. He just thinks he is having fun.

Can I call you Santa!? What happened to like... one present for Christmas? :) For me, I would rather keep things a little more separate... fun is fun. Learn is Learn. Sure, they intersect, but I would rather it not be that obvious, at least not for Christmas... :D wow! Can I call you Santa!? What happened to like… one present for Christmas? :)

I use a formula I read about in a magazine. The four formula for Christmas satisfaction: something warm and cuddly for winter warmth, something interest or hobby-oriented, something practical and something whimsical that brings delight. I think the secret, though, is to make each thing special. That said, I still tend to go overboard with the kids. I have to remind myself that love is not over-indulgence.
