Wendy Williams discusses the Christmas Present Controversy:
“When is Christmas Giving Excessive? What is Enough?”
The Wendy Williams show is partnering with me so I can bring you some fun updates about Wendy’s Christmas excitement. On Wendy Williams’ recent show from 12-14-2015 (airing 10am EST), Wendy showed a picture of a woman with 3 children, and the pile of gifts that she had already wrapped for them.
Want a little bit closer look at that? Pure Excessive Christmas Gift Giving!
Yes, I know it’s a grainy photo but the point isn’t lost! These presents are piled almost to the top of the tree. Check out Wendy’s personal shout out to me and Wendy’s take on excessive Christmas Gift giving.

throw a match to that and start all over 3 gifts per child my goodness what she gonna do when they turn 15 or go to prom you know you got to keep upping the anty
Giving children that many gifts is ludicrous. It spoils them and as they get older they come to expect it. I feel sorry for their significant others once they get married. It is such a waste of money too. Plus where in the world would the kids put all that stuff?
I have seen pictures and videos of some lady in the UK that does this and each year she gives them more and more. There is no way her kids appreciate it or even remember what all they got much less find time to play with all of the toys.
No, just no. Going overboard either in excess or in price causes your child to become entitled, ungrateful, demanding and/or self-centered. A few toys and maybe some clothes and that’s all they need. Ok I’ll get off of my soapbox now LOLOL.
I must admit, my Husband and I are guilty of being too extravagant during Christmas. Instead we should focus our energy on giving to those in need instead of giving to those whom already have it all.
They’ve all turned into Oprah one of the most generous people on earth sharing her wealth and advice
I want to win it I will check it
I love Wendy Williams! I think this is definitely excessive. I agree with Wendy a couple of good gifts is plenty.
We were guilty of excessive buying for our three sons. At least they haven’t continued with their children. If I had it to do over, I might still do it. It was so much fun.
Totally over kill, I prefer to give experiences nowdays, no one needs more crap in their house!
Wow! That is way too excessive & selfish. Think of others year round & give.
I like Wendy Williams and though it does look like overkill to me I really don’t want to criticize her. Things are tight here and I save a lot of little things for my son to open on Christmas day. We don’t know what she has wrapped there, she could have coats, gloves, socks and other things she would need to buy her children anyway. I know it makes under my tree look a little fuller than it otherwise would.
I love Wendy Williams…
Christmas is about Christ not gifts, but my family still gives gifts.
No offense, but she shouldn’t criticize anyone for going overboard on gifts for their kids. It is the one time of you some can spoil their children. Not everyone is wealthy.
I remember this when it occurred as it was a big discussion. It seems to me that if one has that much money to spend on gifts, they should give half to their family and the other half to low income families through Toys for Tots or Salvation Army!
Wow, That’s some gift tree. I’m so glad I taught my kids that it’s not the gift that you get from someone, but the gift of Christ in your heart. They have always picked things to do for others that needed help around Christmas time. I so glad that Wendy brought this subject out. You don’t hear that on TV. Thanks for sharing.
Christmas is so much more than gifts, and I hope we all take a step (or five) back to realize that. The gifts are given in love and you can’t put an amount on that. Whoa is that tree covered though! I wonder how many people it’s for. Merry Early Christmas!
I want to win. I really dnt understand wat it is that we have to do to enter. So maybe you can explain to people that dnt play with there pgones as much. Like really know it well. Lol .
thank you forconsidering
We try to be reasonable with our gift giving for our kids. They’re little, so having too many toys overwhelms them.
We have made sure our children know the meaning of Christmas is Christ not presents. Any gifts they do receive should never be expected and that being said, we have a modest budget for each child so they cherish what ever they get.
