Advantages: Keeps the kids happy

Disadvantages: List grows longer every day

My two boys are five and seven so one of them still believes in Father Christmas but the other is not quite so sure. I hit on an excellent way for them to make their Christmas lists out.

I picked up two Index catalogues (Argos would do) and gave them each a pen and paper. I told them to list everything they would like then to go back through the list and put them in order of priority. I explained that there is no way Father Christmas will be able to bring them all but I am sure that he will do his best to bring the most important ones.

This exercise took all day originally but they have since revised their priorities several times. Once I have done my shopping for them I will announce that Father Christmas has a deadline for lists!

How I wish Father Christmas would open his wallet, or lend me his credit card!

A good idea and obviously one that absorbed your boys' attention (it's amazing what powers of concentration kids are capable of 'sometimes' isn't it?).
Perhaps it would also be an illuminating insight if you asked them to do the same exercise only choosing gifts that other members of their family or friends would like?

You're very brave. How do you intend to explain the non-appearance of the 32 inch £1000+ Trinitron Wega? :o)
