Good to know. My mom lives far away from us, so she says she sends all these presents because she doesn't get to see the grandkids often enough. My MIL, who doesn't really see them that often either, doesn't have this problem though. Ay yi yi. I know they all love the girls, and the presents are coming no matter what. Like you, we quietly give things away over the course of the year. In fact, I'm going through the whole house this month to make sure I've got room for what's coming! Oh, I don't bother wrapping them either. I'm too LAZY! Beatnic8,

My Mother-In-Law does this every freak'n year. (sigh) Right now we have at least 20 boxes in my office. The Mad-In-Law explains that she had a scrooge for a dad and never got any holiday fanfare and thus has been over-indulging in X-mas every year. My husband attests to this. Sooooo, we threaten her with "you can now only use gift cards, etc. etc," but she will not listen. We are thinking we will have to just quietly give some of the age-inappropriate gifts for our DD, or just send some back if we need to. So the insanity begins.......in another house ;-) Take heart, though. We can wrap one present each day and then we'll have it all done by Christmas. Girl, you are most definitely NOT the only one.
