Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.
Clearly this is a tough economic time and a lot of families are hurting. So when we talk to parents we talk about small changes for kids and things that don't cost extra money. Like adding water and eliminating sugary drinks and sodas. That's going to save money right there. Or adding a few more vegetables.
If I had my way if I was lucky enough if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.
