Some ways to make the gift giving experience more pleasurable this holiday season is by focusing on appreciation. 

Do this by prepping kids ahead of time and talking about what gifts mean to them; both in regards to giving gifts and receiving gifts.

When you focus on GIVING GIFTS, help kids identify the benefits of making gifts special to the receiver, that focuses on making other people feel good, making it important and special, surprising them, and showing off creativity if they make something.

When you focus on RECEIVING GIFTS, help kids understand how important it is to be a great GIFT GETTER! This focuses on how receiving a gift is a gift in and of itself, the response shows appreciation, and the response shows maturity. 

Consider practicing with your kids ahead of time on how to handle different holiday situations, such as receiving gifts they don't like or not receiving gifts they wanted. 

Also, talk about the many other reasons to appreciate the holiday, such as family and being together!
