Mine are so young they just are not into it. They would rather even read our "usual" books than any of the special Christmas books. 3 out of 5 have no memory of anything Santaish from last year and the other two are non committal so we are not exactly in the Christmas spirit around here which is not helping. I put up our Christmas window stickees including some bears around a fireplace on the kitchen window and the older two just whined cause it they couldn't see the squirrels on the fence clearly. Oh well I tried.

It wouldn't be so bad if the "gifts" were actually done by the kids but other than slapping a foot or hand print on something the rest is all adult done which defeats the whole purpose in my mind. With 4 and up that take part in the doing and can draw the face etc. great.
