    I watched another channel where there were multiple kids and the gifts were so extravagant that even I was overwhelmed. The kids wouldn’t even look at the gifts but just moved to the next one and it seemed endless. Your kids appreciated ever moment and it was so refreshing. I realize to each their own but I am super proud of the kids you guys are raising.

      And no thank you either in between gifts... I think I know which family lol .. Those kind of parents give an extravagant amount of gifts, instead of the guidance,love and attention they really crave... It's sad, the parents in this vlog are doing it right!!! They get gifts and treats, but within reason... They are being prepared for the adult world in every way ...

    How refreshing to find this channel! The previous family I watched are so spoiled by materialism that it broke my heart. Your children appreciate the smallest things and truly love each other. We had six kids and never a lot of money so when my kids got clothes and socks for Christmas they were truly grateful.

  • @EmersSarah

    Great to see the "family gifts" being shared among your children! For those bemoaning the stuffies, fun socks and clothing- These kids recieved more than most children in this world do. Simple isn't something to be pitied. This is an obviously loving family with parents who invest in raising their children well.
    The kids still enjoyed gifts of 2 (!) Yoto players, several Maileg mice and accessories, lots of beautiful picture books, a family game, etc. Sharing is what you do in large families and it is good for shaping character. A few things that are "just theirs" and the rest to share!

    Some of these kids look pretty hurt and heartbroken that their interests and wants don’t seem to be cared about in the scheme of “Family Gifts” and sales

    While its true Christmas isn't all about gifts but i have issues with parents doing social media only and not actually providing the neceaties a child needs im a Christian too but if the child doesn't succeed in music for their future what then the more children you have and continue to have the harder to provide the basic things children need its the parents job to provide for the children not the children providing for parents Christmas is a joyful holiday for children its something most children look forward to all year and i truly could see the look on their faces they were all sad

      That really depends. My daughter wanted a unicorn onesie, so she got 1 from Sinterklaas (kind of like santa) and she loved it. Another year she got a new dress which was immediately her favorite. So nothing wrong with giving clothes! This year there will be less because of finances. But I know she is going to get enough. From my family! I just have some crafty things, 3 reading books, and 2 or 3 small toys. Maybe (if my money comes out ok) I will try to buy a rainbow high doll.

      Honestly what happened was a month earlier Enoch asked for the dinosaur and Melody asked for the pig. So I thought “perfect gift for Christmas!” But by the time Christmas rolled around they forgot they even wanted those things🤦🏼‍♀️ and all the big kids got “cooler” gifts for each other. So lesson learned. I’m going to see what the older kids are getting for eachother and get something similar for the little kids. After 20 years of being a mom I’m still learning. I guess that’s why grandmas are always so fun. They learned lessons many times over.❤️

      Thankfully Naomi got Melody a little doll she really liked in her stocking and Enoch got a Lego car. Now all these months later Melody sleeps with her pig and Enoch sleeps with his dinosaur and the kids all fight over the Yoto players so thankfully it sort of worked out!😅

      We spend most of our money on music lessons for the kids. That’s sort of a year round gift. They cost $150 per lesson per kid so they are definitely being loved on. We don’t prioritize stuff whenever possible, we prioritize learning and experiences. We also just took a family vacation to San Diego ❤️✈️
