On Christmas, Nana went WAY overboard. About half way through the gifts my four year old crawled into my lap and said "I'm tired of opening gifts." That was the year that I decided even Grandparents couldn't give more than three gifts (oh, and just ONE for the birthday). I threatened to put the rest in the attic unopened. So far, it's worked.
