What have your DC got for christmas :)

[JJDEIR]

I love hearing what others have got their little ones, i like how we have so many different ideas and present traditions. Such as something you want read watch and need. I did that last year and was great or Just one gift from santa or no "gifts" but a panto show.

I love this thread! We just recently moved to America (military family) and the boys have not been able to say goodbye to all their friends because of the pandemic/lockdown so I’m trying to overcompensate a little because it’s been so difficult. Also, they have to go to school here and there’s no uniforms! We all seriously miss the simplicity of them. We were without a permanent home for 4 months so living in hotels etc but we are now in the comfort and security of our new home. Still, all the changes especially the culture shock and missing old school/friends, travel/moving in this tumultuous time, and the difficulties of the pandemic have been especially trying. So it’s mostly what they need and what will help us stay sane indoors. We are all so homesick!

Where did you get descendants dressing up and stranger things stuff, clothes please

We do 90% presents from fc

We always buy them present, just in case he can't make it.

From us ds1, hair dryer. Ds2 playdoh set.
Some other little bits, clothes....

From FC: dd1 camera. Dd2, bean bag chair.eletric blankets, essential oil plug in thing for their room, new bedroom lamp shade.
Some other bits....

My 3 DD’s all have a stocking that were made or given when they were little, and they are all different sizes and materials but ironically all hold about the same, my Eldest DD has the biggest, it probably from belly button to below her knee length wise and wool but it’s Cotten lined so there isn’t much give in it and you can probably just fill it to half it’s length.

Middle DD is cotton and no give but quite wide probably the length of fore arm...

My youngest is the smallest to look at but crocheted and probably would stretch the length of her, definitely could fit the most in if need be...

Regardless they alway want the Eldest’s!!!!

@MeowMeowLikeACow - can I ask where you got your giant stuffed penguin please? My DS loves penguins and I got him the Melissa & Doug one for around £20. I saw some for pushing £100!
