Since I don't spend alot on my kids when it is not a special occasion, I like to treat them for holidays.
Easter I spend about $60 for each of my daughters. Gift, candy and money in easter eggs.
Younger nieces and nephews $15 baskets.
I like to give something if I will be seeing a younger relative for the holiday.
It is different from my childhood but that is what I want to do. I would get a easter basket with a chocolate bunny and some candy and we would have to hunt for them. Wonderful memory.
But I like giving to my kids and since I dont spoil them the rest of the year. I say why not. My kids know not to expect things. My older daughter who just turned 20 told me I dont need to get her an easter basket or do St. Nicks(put candy in shoes). but I like to and it is a mother's and individuals perogative.
If I did not think it was appreciated or I did not enjoy doing it I would stop.
I think any tradition set by the family is sweet big or small. Each family can do their own thing that is why I love this country. Personal and Religious freedom, God Bless America.
