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.

I think one thoughtful gift is more than enough.
I NEED TO WIN THESE GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS SO I WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH MY FAMILY THANK INVANCE
First off, I love Wendy Williams! “How you doin?” I think buying excessive is either buying too many presents, or spending too much on a gift/gifts. It could also mean spoiling someone to the point where the gifts don’t mean much to that person receiving them.
It’s excessive when the giver can’t afford it…or is just buying to impress. For kids I think they should get a couple of things they want, then be encouraged to GIVE both in items and their time to help those in need.
if you can afford it go for it!!
When gifts are expected rather then appriciated
I think it gets excessive when you go into debt to afford Christmas! When you think to yourself did I give enough? Of course you did! One gift is great but I think 10 gifts is a bit ridiculous!
one or two gifts is enough
Enough is what you can do comfortably without feeling guilty.
I think that every situation is different and even the term “excessive” differs from one family to another. It really just depends.
i think a couple of gifts for each kid should be good!
When is Christmas giving enough? When the fun of giving evaporates and it becomes a chore, you’ve crossed the line!
when you’re spending more than you actually should or can.
Gifts just need to be thoughtful, not generic. Those are the best, regardless of the price tag.
When you spend too much and there’s not a lot of utility for the gift. I think presents for kids can be a bit expensive for Christmas as long as they also respect that money came from hard work and know that they can’t always spend a lot for things they want.
depends my kids get everything they need
we spend about $100 on each person. no need to buy that much. we already have too much! i love wendy williams!
when you spend all your money
I think it is excessive when you are going to that extremes. You need to teach your children to make decisions and that they can’t have absolutely everything they see. It seems like you are setting them up to blow through their money as adults
I think it can turn excessive when you give too many presents and forget the real meaning of Christmas.
