Can't it be all of the above? It's exciting to get new stuff, and people often compare and talk about what they got for birthdays/Christmas. It's a bit juvenile, but I can't see the problem.

And I get nothing *exciting) for Christmas. Not because I'm poor, or don't celebrate just because my parents believe in giving us razors, toothbrushes and "necessities" so we can use our extra money to buy things we like, and my siblings are college students who can't afford to buy presents. It's no big deal. I still kind of enjoy reading other people's hauls, though.

This. There is a balance between the "freegans" discussed upthread, and the "Let me show you ALL THE THINGS I GOT" materialistic mentality.

Which, IMO, kids should get cut some slack for...after all, they probably don't have any concept of money yet, outside of "pieces of paper my family gives me that I can exchange at the mall for ALL THE STUFF" which, to be fair, is common among kids.

TL;DR: I agree with stella_down, but I would be more inclined to give a pass to a little kid doing this.
