Christmas List Rules

We have new rules at our house this year for Christmas.  I'm not entirely sure how these are going to play out, but I heard them on K-Love and LOVE them!!!!

Each person's list must be divided into four parts:

  1. Something you want
  2. Something you need
  3. Something to wear
  4. Something to read
Santa will choose one thing from each list (maybe more, depending on value).  We've held strong to the three gift rule for several years (thinking Jesus only received three gifts, why would any of us deserve more than Him?) -- but that's kind of tough sometimes.............

I would be curious to know if any of you have ever tried this, or any other manner, of limiting Christmas gifts?  I get so uncomfortable when I realize what is spent each year on Christmas in this country.  I want to celebrate with my family and just......be. 

Let me know your thoughts.
