I think it's far more than that though. I think a lot of parents would agree with me that Christmas morning and birthdays are probably the most exciting time of the year.
Debt is debt. It is nothing compared to the joy your child gets. That joy you see in your kid is worth more than most could ever earn anyway.
And I've seen the poorest families happily dip into that debt. They know it doesn't make things easier.
That and a gift doesn't have to be expensive. It doesn't even have to be bought.
Yeah, everyone here saying that they're basically buying happiness is making me go crazy
So materialistic
If I ask my son in January what did he get for Christmas he'll have to think hard
