@Natasha_Jay @briankrebs 💡 What if, as part of Thanksgiving, parents and kids go through their toys, pick out a few favorites, and donate the rest? This gives a month to get those donations out to new homes. Having a limited number of toys until Christmas does two things. First, it forces the kids to be more creative with what they have, really flexing their imagination. And second, they’ll learn to appreciate the new toys they get for Christmas even more.
