When Do Your Kids Begin Their Santa Wish Lists?

My kids begin to make their Christmas wish lists for Santa as soon as the holiday catalogs begin to arrive!  They love looking through the holiday catalogs and scanning store shelves in the months before Christmas to come up with ideas for Santa.

I have a list going through the entire year of things the boys would really enjoy that doesn’t necessarily make it to their wish list.  I typically add things to my phone and watch sales!  Things that Santa doesn’t bring are often present ideas I send to family members.

Does Santa Bring All of The Gifts At Your House?

This can be a somewhat controversial topic as some parents are team Santa brings all gifts and others have Santa bring a few and parents bring the bigger more expensive gifts. Some parents feel its unfair for Santa to bring all of the gifts since some families cannot afford to provide the same gifts as others and it becomes confusing for kids.

Dear Santa Nice List Printable FREE

This is my favorite Dear Santa printable to do with my children and it is always such a great conversation about what good behaviors they can and do show at school, sports, at home and with others.  It is a great way to reflect and point out things as a parent that you have seen your child do this year that really made you proud and set goals for the new year too to stay on Santa’s nice list.

Does Santa wrap gifts or leave them unwrapped?

Santa always wrapped gifts growing up in my house so we continued that tradition with our kids. Santa wraps each child’s gift with different wrapping paper that is themed / something that they really are into that year. This works well for us because it makes it easier to differentiate which gifts are for who and less arguments between the kids when opening.

I also love that Santa wraps the gifts because when my kids were little unwrapping was the most fun part of all for them!

I love this completely open-ended Dear Santa great free printable letter because it allows your family to make it what you want!  Write it as a family to Santa or allow an older child to write with no prompt.  This blank letter gives your child another option to look this holiday season!

How Many Gifts Does Santa Bring At Your House?

While there is no right or wrong number of gifts under the tree the importance is staying on budget for your family. It can be so easy to get caught up in Keeping up with the Joneses’ at the holidays. Our family does not set a specific number of gifts but instead sets a dollar amount.

This gives me freedom to be creative with how I spend that money - free item from Buy Nothing Groups, consignment deals, hand me downs from friends, items on sale etc! I begin planning in June and July and grabbing and putting away items that I know the boys will still like come Christmas time!

Budgeting at the holidays can be tricky so another tip that really helps us is buying a gift or two at a time in the months leading up to the holidays.
