Christmas/birthday allocation

How do you split presents with birthdays so close to Christmas? I’ve just done a count and we have 50 ish gifts in total. Do you guys do an even split? Do you give more for Christmas or more for birthday? Do you stagger them through the year?

Do your parents/ in laws gift your child during the holidays

My parents gift my child during the holidays. My in law never gift my kids…but she will send me her Amazon wish list. We got her a Dyson hair dryer last year. And don’t get it twisted, she can afford a $10 gift for the kids (only 2 kids). But isn’t big on gifting ANYONE.

Is it unfair to request family NOT to buy toys for Christmas?

LO has lots of toys already and doesnt really need or want anything else.
