What To Put And Not To Put In Your Childs Christmas Stocking This Year
There are many little unique things that we do every year when trying to make Christmas special for our little ones
. We do not get that many opportunities as our children grow up so fast and we are lucky to get ten good years to create that special Christmas magic for them. Everyone has heard of writing letters to Santa but few ever think to make Santa phone calls. Why stop at a letter when your children can make Santa calls on Christmas Eve to let him know that they have been very good this year and ask him what kind of cookies you should bake for him. This could lead to Santa dropping something special in that Christmas morning stocking. Here are a few of Santa's tricks and secrets, letting you in on how he always knows the perfect stocking stuffers to light up those little faces.Does your child already have a favorite toy that can be extended or added upon? This is one of the things that Santa takes into account when he drops down that chimney with all those toys. He knows, for instance, that little Tommy has a Hot Wheels set that he just adores and of which he takes great care. There are lots of kids who have these toys so Santa carries a bunch of extra Hot Wheels cars that come in individual packages. Children save these and some kids have an entire collection of cool and hard to find classics. Just a little bit of research lets Santa know exactly which Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars or trucks little Tommy already has.
If there is one thing that Barbie loves to do, it is to pop out of your little angel's stocking on Christmas morning and give her a great big hug! In fact, Barbie loves this so much that just a few years ago, she was the most popular stocking stuffer for little girls on the planet. (Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars and trucks were number one for little boys!) More often than not, if Barbie had a previous engagement on Christmas morning, like under or on the tree, her clothes, furniture, and other accessories would turn up there instead.
There are many little toys that can be put into a stocking that can turn your living room into a miniature toy store and make Christmas morning the place to be. Among some of the early favorite are Jacks, and while I do not understand the concept of Jacks, I have personally seen a little girl occupy herself for hours with one of these strange toys. Little boys love marbles and a small bag of these is a perfect fit for the toe end of a nice big stocking. I always try to remember that the more toys I can get into a child's stocking, the less room there is for those candies that are full of sugar. Without a doubt, the most expensive Christmas gift that you will ever pay for s a Dentist's invoice. You will see enough of these during Halloween and Easter!
Fruit, fruit, and more fruit is always a great idea as far as Christmas stocking stuffers go. I always get a slight touch of Christmas nostalgia whenever I smell an orange as Santa Clause always put a nice, fat orange right in the toe of my stocking every year. To this day, I associate oranges with those special days in my childhood. Some fruit cannot be put into a stocking and simply refuse to be "stuffed" as the result is usually "mush." On the other hand, some fruits are definitely up to the challenge, lie oranges, pears, and apples. If your and Santa are going to fill your child with sugars, it might as well be from nature and mother's kisses.
