Erin C. It helps to tie the magic of Santa into the real meaning of Christmas for us. Beth B. The want is from Santa. The rest from us. Rebecca W. Keeps the real meaning of Christmas alive. Amber K. The girls get one 'together gift' and then they get several things from their lists and several not on their lists.
Christmas is the one time of year we can say 'yes' to things they don't get throughout the year, and I don't see anything wrong with spoiling my girls for one day. They are appreciative, joyful and thankful. Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission. All rights reserved About Us.

MIL says santa is supposed to bring one unwraped toy to each child. My sister used to leave her tree completely empty until christmas morning saying santa brings all the toys wrapped. Also what about stocking stuffers? Do I leave them empty till christmas or have stuff in there till christmas?
So how do you do santa? I'm thinking about doing the stocking stuffer from santa and one toy wrapped but wrapped the prettiest with a big bow. We do st. Nick's day for the stocking. As far as Christmas all the presents are wrapped and from Santa. He's probably about 10 this year. That seems to be how everyone around here does it :. The equation is this: compare population of young people with density of Christianity and plot it on the globe. From that, you've got total population and the times at which Santa should hit them.
I ignored the mechanics of distance between houses - after all, I can't know how many houses have multiple children, what regions are more densely packed, etc. The math, it seemed, should be easy. Should be. Before getting bogged down in the incredible nuance of the world's religions and time zones that went into determining these numbers, I'll share the end result. There are just over ,, Christian kids under the age of 14 in the world who celebrate Christmas on December 25th.
In other words, Santa has to deliver presents to almost 22 million kids an hour, every hour, on the night before Christmas. That's about , kids a minute; about 6, a second.
Totally doable. Especially when you consider the uneven distribution of kids in the world. Santa needs to hit 22 million kids every hour. But to be clear, Santa doesn't just randomly put stuff under our tree and cause a free-for-all on Christmas morning. Each child has a pillow case with their name lovingly embroidered on it.
If you assume 2 billion children, 1 toy each, workdays Christmas day through the following December 23rd - then packing the sleigh on Christmas Eve , 16 hour days Elven sweatshop! Here are the basics: Determine how much money you want to spend on all the kids combined. Divide it equally by the number of kids you're buying for. It's that easy, but you have to stick to it! A trend which has gained traction over the past few years on social media is the " four gift rule ".
Parents pledge to give their offspring just four presents: Something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read. A 3 gift Christmas symbolizes the three gifts the Wise Men brought to Jesus: gold , frankincense , and myrrh.
Of course, some families don't wrap the gifts and others don't do stockings at all. Many families find their gifts unwrapped , either under the tree or under the mantle with the stockings, so that the kids can see what Santa brought them as soon as they make their way downstairs. Children who have too many toys are more easily distracted, and do not enjoy quality playtime, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the University of Toledo in Ohio, US, recruited 36 toddlers and invited them to play in a room for half an hour, with either four toys , or 16 toys. But the point is, children usually get the lion's share of the spending —or should.
That's the average.
