My daughter is Christmas Eve so we have her birthday after the new year. She makes out well because everything has been marked down by then!

Yeah, my boy is boxing day too and we buy for gim during the year too. In a couple of years, we're going to ask him if he wants to celebrate his birthday on the 26th of another month in future (I'm thinking January, November or June) then everyone can focus their present buying for him on that day, he'll also appreciate the fact that his birthday has nothing to do with the christmas festivities. I know this doesn't solve your immediate problem, but I agree with Autumn- it's never too soon for your daughter to start hearing "no".

I would say let her throw her tantrum (as embarrassing as they are) she needs to know you are the boss and when you say no you mean no. If you say no then give into her just because she cry's she will pick up on that and do it every time, but if she throw's a fit and you don't give in ( and keep in mind it will take a while for this to take effect) she will realize that her fit throwing is not working and she will then learn to except your no answer. You just have to stay consistent, that is the MOST important thing.
