Confession
I throw out all the holiday toy catalogs before they ever reach the hot little hands of my children. They might come down with a touch of the gimmies or a fatal case of the wanties.

LOL!. I do the same with the "American Girl" catalogues!
You should give them the catalogs AS Christmas presents instead of actual gifts. Nothing kids enjoy more than letting their imaginations run wild over things they can never have.
Yes, character building. Especially when you then take them to Toys R Us to visit the gifts, like it was a zoo. Looking but no buying. You will learn to say no and they will learn what no means.

Character building eh, Henrietta?

I'll tell them Toys R Us is a toy museum.
HGT I love you. No, really.
Kristi! I love you too! No, really. Really, really no. And I mean no. Really!
When my mom took me to the doctor, she told me it was a hypodermic needle and blood test museum. That realiy calmed me down.
Methinks Henrietta needs her own blog. Not that I don't appreciate her here. No, really.
really
This also works for husband-themed catalogues, like the 8th version of Cabelas or LL Bean Special Holiday Camping edition....
