Deac, by definition a child can't be childish - only an adult can be.
A child's wants are innocent - that's how your father looks at your
bicycles.
Teaching personal sacrifice to a child at Christmas time is the opposite of
the gift message.

True Christmas is the Celebration of OneSelf as Christ , the symbol of The
Perfect Self, I AM that I AM . Free from want, for all is Perfect and in
Perfection there is no lack, hence, nothing to want of. The meaning of
Heaven on Earth .
So truly, every moment is Christmas :)

Ooops, did I sign into the Mordor Bicycle Owners Group by mistake?
Are some people seriously choosing an adult toy forum to preach against
materialism?
Seriously??
Oh, duh! I get it, you were being ironic!!! Silly me!
Happy Holidays everyone,

Lots of good stuff here to respond to, but it falls outside the scope of
this group (even for me, and that's saying something!). Grin. So rather
than delve into theology, I'll bow out. May God startle you with the joy of
Christ's Mass!

Mass is something we can all agree we care about, especially if it's
measured in Grams.

ebay bike parts scalper, who has Riv water bottles listed for $100.
Teach your kids to suck it up? Merry Christmas. They'll have plenty of
chances to learn that on their own.

I'm not sure how to respond to this question, Ron. Is it a serious
question? How did you arrive at it based on anything I've written? The
simple answer is No.

its shopkins this year. I have an 8 year old girl and its all they want.
Retail is 5 bucks for a 5 pack of these little rubber toys, last I saw the
5 packs were going for 25 bucks most places because they are sold
everywhere. Law of supply and demand, although yeah crappy that some kids
wont get
sold out I should say.

Precisely, Ron. And people can inadvertently promote childishness in their
children by accepting it rather than challenging it. I'm not saying that is
happening in any specific instance here -- but the commercialization of
Christmas, and specifically the direct marketing to kids via kids shows
Amen, Patrick. We've been TV-free since 2006, right after my second
daughter was born. Will never go back.
And the kids don't have phones, video games, or iPads. But they have more
bookshelves chock full of books than their parents do, and a big old
fashioned chalk board salvaged from school
Speaking of media, we also find that after living essentially ad-free since
2006 (as not only do we not have a TV, but we also only listen to college
radio stations of which there is an abundance with great programming in our
area), it's become unbearable listening to ads when spending holidays

Great question, Anton. When I see ads I grew up with and thought nothing of
at the time, they seem obnoxious now. I
As for kids I don't have any but have some over at the house sometimes and
I find the precocious behavior displayed in much of children's specific
programs is pretty intolerable. There's no way I would accept any child
talking the way they do on some of these TV shows.
For me, I could not live

There is a lot less money being spent of televised ads. Production quality
is way down.
Big money is in the cinema spots that then morph over to Youtube -
apparently there are people

Board games tend to not go on sale often or by a large %, so this is a good
opportunity to keep the kids away
Patrick: agree wholeheartedly. Anton: good for you.
I don't have a TV -- find it hard to watch most movies without getting
bored or annoyed -- but daughter, alas, is very plugged in -- she lives
mostly with her mother. But her mother and I have, and I think effectively,
emphasized other values
Well I own 5 flat screen TVs a PS4, Gameboy, ipad, kindle fire and all the
other stuff we yes did fine without as kids but come on, they are fun
distractions. The issue is when they become all you do or all the kids do.
Everything is about moderation.

I've taken a whole other strategy with my kid.
He's plugged in, online, engaged, and has been for a long time. I doubt
it's a strategy that would work with every kid, but he's pretty inoculated
against ads and consumerism. He does consumer research, and knows how to
delay gratification. He
