I know this has been done before but I am so shocked at how much some people spend on their dc's

dd's friend is getting an apple laptop
as well as other stuff.

Am I alone in thinking this is ridiculous!

Just ban Christmas

As others have said, just because a child may recieve more presents than another one doesn't mean they will be spoilt or not appreciate their gifts. It is all relative - some people have more to spend than others. IMO the important thing is that people don't get into debt over Christmas presents.
