The Four Gift Rule

Just recently, I read about the “Four Gift Rule.” I have mentioned it in passing, but now that we are only weeks away from Christmas, I wanted to give it a post all its own.

The four gift rule is based on a simple premise. The holidays in the United States have gotten completely out of control. Everyone talks about it, but no one does anything about it. You can hear lots of parents having a discussion about materialism, saying it’s terrible and out of control, yet they still have piles and piles of gifts under the tree for their children.
