Tell me what you think, I'd like to hear your thoughts. I talked to one lady and she bought her son a game and some T-shirts sox ect. Where as some parents buy dozens of toys, clothes and so on.

How much is enough?
I feel like I have gone so over board this year. Or should I say Santa has. Andrew's big gift this year is a Red line BMX bike. Luke we did not do a really big gift for because he is so young and does not understand Christmas yet. Luke's B-day is tomorrow so he will get a couple gifts then as well. I got them tons of clothes so they probably have as many packages of clothes as they will toys. Primarily because I don't want them thinking Santa only brings toys. I am sure the older they get the # of gifs under the tree will be fewer as the things they ask for become increasingly expensive. But what I would like to know, is what other people think is a reasonable amount of presents for Santa to bring for 1 child?

Everyone has their own reasons, beliefs, and whys for buying or not buying gifts. Do what you think is right for YOU.
I am a low-income single mother, so for many years I jst don't have much money so I adopted the idea of the wisemen and offer three gifts for my children. If Christ only got 3 gifts then my children can live with 3 gifts. They also get a stocking from Santa and a Treasure Bag from mom (similar to a stocking) filled with simple things like fruit, toothbrush, toothpaste, crayons, coloring book, etc.
we do one bigger santa gift, small items (really inexpensive or necessities) in a stocking and then a few presents from us to the kids!
Hello there :) I found you thru my blog and this is my first visit to you... we generally do one big gift from Santa then a few smaller things. Plus Mommy & Daddy give a few special gifts (like I give my older daughter a journal every year)... Not only due to financial restraints, but also, we don't want our girls to grow up expecting tons of gifts or to become greedy...
