Is it too early to start talking Christmas?

Shortie pjs since it’ll be winter here and everything will be fleece, a new swimsuit (next have red and white check in at the moment if you wanted festive colours!), some extra bath stuff from B&BW xmas range or some Mickey christmas soap from Basin, a Disney Christmas bauble to remember the trip by, some festive hair clips and accessories (Mimi and Lula do some beautiful bits that’d be small and easy to pack). You could take them to get a charm bracelet in Pandora in DS?

I think you need to make an entry on the ‘ is it weird that I’ thread I did a bit back ref the phone spreadsheet- that’s next level 😀

I take it the kids don’t believe in father Xmas any more ?
I which case tell them that the stocking will be waiting for them when you have a 2nd Xmas back home . And let them choose where you go on Xmas day as their Florida equaivalent of a stocking

Haha no but I did buy a pop up one for just in case.

If you think the phone spreadsheet is weird you should see the rest. I have all holiday spends daily and everything. Proper nutter for them. But they are exceptionally helpful.

They believe in Santa ish. I think they suspect he’s not real but since I said he doesn’t come if he’s not real and they want all the magic still they are happy to play along with it.
However if I fall over a trip wire on Xmas eve trying to catch me out I will not be surprised.

So when we were going to WDW for CHristmas our house was 'specially selected' for Santa's top secret target practice missions. If they told a soul he would put them on the very very bad list and never visit again and anyway they were super priveledged to be selected.
We had a letter delivered that told us this! We had to hang our stockings on the stairs and each night we found that santa delivered one present! Amazingly he delivered all the things we needed for the holiday! PJs, suncream, toothbrush, disney tshirt etcetc. We then left Santa a note to thank him and that we were going on holiday and where we were going. We took small, like 8" stockings (they may have been intended for pets), and had small cheapy bits (unwrapped to keep tsa happy) I can't remember what but remember it had £1 gloves and socks in it and we used them as it was chilly!
Kids were 8, 10 and 12 and certainly 9 and 11yos didn't belive. However, Christmas eve were were staying at boardwalk and the real santa was there doing a meet. All 3 of them made comments thanking him for target practicing our house. 8 yo had been wavering but def believed that year! Best meet ever! (and only the blurriest photos as my camera went wrong!

I've started Christmas shopping ... so I am with you!
