I've been asked by friends if I want to go and have breakfast with Santa on the run up to Christmas. I have a 1yo DD (who will be 14 months old in December) and my friends have one child each of roughly same age (13 month old and 11 month old in December).
Now, I might be being a miserable twat, but I just don't see the point in this charade. Breakfast with Santa is more suited to 2-8 year olds in my opinion. My DD wouldn't get anything out of it as she won't understand what Christmas is or who Santa is. Sure, we're going to buy her presents and make a fuss of her on Christmas Day, but I am under no illusions about her knowing what the heck is going on. I cannot imagine anything worse than having breakfast with Santa and a lot of other older, hyper children. I know my two friends are excited that they have young children at Christmas, but I think the event is a daft idea, and not aimed at their age group. Am I missing something here, or is this a ridiculous idea? I'd rather spend the money it would cost on a toy for my LO.
