Buying toys, consoles and other expensive gifts is just bizarre. Easter for me always has and will be about chocolate eggs. The most I used to get as a kid outside of eggs was a fiver from my nan.

I worry as times change when us younger adults have kids we may be pressurised to buy our children more. No doubt these things extend to school for kids. When I was in school it was 'I got 2 more eggs than you na na na'. I would dread to think now and in the future it becomes 'I got a Nintendo 3DS' 'Haha I got a Playstation 4, I got something better than you na na na'.

I'm not a fan of bringing kids up with materialistic attitudes. By all means treat them, but within reason. Those kids who get spoilt beyond belief will grow up with no appreciation of the world and no realistic out view of life and how you need to work to get what you want.

Holidays like this becoming more of a time of showering your kids with expensive gifts is wrong imo.
