					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.graywolfproductions.com/parenting201/are-you-a-competitive-parent-part-4#comments/121&quot;&gt;Melinda&lt;/a&gt;.

Thank you for your comment - it is hard to make this &quot;celebration&quot; decision but ultimately we all have to do what we think best for our kids [and our wallets.]  I tend to go with what the &quot;gut&quot; says :-)

Glad you enjoyed the series

					<description><![CDATA[I try to keep things simple for birthday parties..not sure what we will do for the Baptism celebration that should be happening in the next year or so. There is a temptation to go all out, but my gut feeling is that should be resisted. We&#039;ll have to take into account what my son wants. Thanks for a great post/series.]]></description>
