Parents tend to bend over backward to make Christmas magical for their children. Their hearts are, of course, in the right place. Despite their best intentions, however, many overdo it when it comes to purchasing gifts and can regret the sheer quantity (not to mention cost) of their overzealous shopping.
Just like you can have too much ice cream and chocolate cake, your children can have too many Christmas presents. An overwhelming amount of stuff detracts from the beauty of each individual gift and from the spirit of the season.
