Sounds excellent Vick
Most excellent, Vick!

I especially like the "proper letter." By doing that, and the gingerbread house, you effectively removed the "gimmes" and the sense of entitlement from the equation.

"Spoiling a child" is a phrase that - to me - is never correctly defined. "Spoiled" means "ruined." There are countless ways of "ruining" a child and turning him/her into a little monster...but none of them involve gifts on birthdays, holidays or because it's a day that ends in "y."
