Is every holiday? birthday? Can we take the giving out of the holiday season? Is this causing our children to be self-centered brats?

I LOVE the giving part of the holiday season. I love to buy gifts for everyone. Our children are only self-centered brats if we raise them that way. They can learn to appreciate the things they have, and be greatful for anything they receive.

Giving or Buying for Yourself? - TV
If the season is about giving, why then is a very popular purchase big screen TV's at this time of year? Certainly, people are not buying tv's as a gift. No no they are purchasing it for themselves.
