Tonight at work a co-worker was telling a story about his 6 year old son saying how great it was that all the presents from Santa were free. Eric laughed and told him that mom and dad get a bill from Santa for all those toys. He went on to explain how years ago Santa and the elves would build toys out of wood but no one wanted those kinds of toys anymore.
I thought this was an interesting way of teaching kids about money and not getting sucked into the "I want/need" mentality that the holidays can cause.
