Last year my DD (who was 3yo) told me that she didn't care what father christmas got her. . . just as long as it wasn't boys toys! This year, at 4 she would like: a flashy scooter, HSM stuff, Hannah Montanna things, Sylvanian families - with a big house, (father Christmas's bank balance will not stretch to that - he is not immune from the credit crunch!) And lots of other bits and bobs that she quite fancies.
We've just written to FC and she dictated "Dear Father Christmas, I want. . ." I made her think about how to ask politely eg "I would like. . . please".
I'm all for the magic of Christmas, but how do we stop our LOs becoming mini materialists?
