Do you feel that the more money you spend on a kid at Christmas or on their birthday, the happier they'll be?

I know someone who spends $100 or more on birthday parties for her kids, now ages 6 and 4, and that’s just for the supplies for the party. Then they spend another $80 or $90 on a present. I think it’s crazy! I find the coolest stuff at garage sales, and my grand kids just love it! I paid $.50 for a pageant dress at a garage sale, and my granddaughter about wore it out.
