I have a 5yr old son, he's an only child. We have a very small family and he has no cousins. Just elderly grandparents.
I really felt sad last Christmas that he had no one to play with the whole holidays.
Of course we played with him, but it's him wanting that companion to play with when we're cooking Christmas dinner etc.
He wants other kids to play with not just grownups.
Friends are all busy with their own families over Christmas.
I'm already thinking about how it'll be a long 2 weeks for him over the Christmas holidays with no kids to play with.
If you have an only child and no cousins/family kids around how do you make Christmas feel more fun?
I feel like at this age Christmas is all for the kids and it seems lonely for him with no other kids to share it with.
I know I can't magic some children for him to play with but what do your only child families do over Christmas?
