Can't. stop. buying. Christmas. presents!

in Parenting after a Loss
It's becoming a problem. I keep telling myself I'm done shopping for DD, but then I see something else she needs (read: I want her to have). Today it was the Sassy look book (which I had so much fun picking out pictures for) and robot jammies. I know I'm not the only one who is going crazy!

    My doorbell keeps ringing today with deliveries for DD and DS. It's bad. I'm saving boxes because I have a feeling some is getting returned! Between DH and I, my parents and sister, we will be overflowing with toys and clothes!!

    She's gotten most of her presents from family, but I still feel like I'm probably getting her more than I ought to. You're smart for saving boxes!

    Since I've joined the Ebates website my shopping problem for DS has become 100x worse because I justify buying him clothes and toys by telling myself that "It's ok because I'm making money."  I just got an email today about 20% off at Carters and they are having a huge clearance sale!  DS already has stuff for spring and summer and it's only December.

    lol We are the same way!  In fact, we just said last week that we weren't going to get anything else for DS because he has plenty and his bday is in December so he just got done having a ton of gifts.  Then today we're in the kitchen and DH says well I think i'm going to stop and grab him one more remote control tractor. I had just come back home from buying him a leap frog scribble and write too. lol 

    Then we agreed not to buy for each other. I come home and there's like 10 gifts under the tree from DS and DH to me.
