Come on, mate. I thought this would be a complaint about adults with jobs and lives giving each other middle-class tat out of obligation.
Leave the kiddos out of it. They have an income of, what, $2 per week pocket money? Zero for the littlies. Christmas is one of the two days per year where they get the chance to be spoiled materially, and the rellos get the chance to spoil them.
My little 2 year-old's face lit up like a Christmas tree every time she gets a gift, as does the person giving it to her when they see how happy it makes her.
