Was there a favourite Christmas present?

Little Miss 4 eagerly opened her gifts on Christmas morning and of course there was a multitude - a doll, a  seat for the pool, totem tennis, trail-gator for her bike, books, swimmers, towel, cradle for her doll, clothes, handbag, wallet, pens, more books and more clothes.

Her letter to Santa, sent back in November, asked for a doll that could talk and a seat for the pool with a water pistol. The big fella did not disappoint.

The doll that can talk, and "poop" and "pee" is a Baby Alive - currently named Molly (it has also been Sally Cinderella and Tilly) - is her favourite Christmas present, along with her handbag that now carries Molly's bottles and nappies.

Last year was the same, the presents from Santa were by far the favourite.

Did your kids have a favourite toy? Was it the one from Santa?

Christmas music

When Hubby and I were searching for Christmas music for Little Miss 4 a couple of years ago we tried to steer clear of anything The Wiggles, Hi-5 etc orientated.

Thankfully there is a multitude of Christmas music out there - I don't think you are anyone unless you have released a Christmas album!

This could be a sign of my peerenting skills though. I love the 50's and 60's era of music....so our Christmas music playlist includes:

• Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt
  
  
  
  
• Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer by Bing Crosby
• Let it Snow! Let It Snow! Let it Snow! by Dean Martin
• Silent Night by Frank Sinatra
• All I Want for Christmas [Is My Two Front Teeth] by Spike Jones
  
  


• Santa Claus Got Stuck in My Chimney by Ella Fitzgerald

Thankfully Little Miss 4 loves these songs too and dances around the lounge room when we play them.

She does refer to Santa Baby as "the cheeky one" and is totally baffled as to why the little boy didn't get his two front teeth from Santa.
