Thanks for taking the time to watch/comment. I love hearing from other parents, especially since I’m still fairly new to the game :)

They just had a lot of our time, they felt safe and loved, received tons of praise and had reasonable limits they could not violate without significant consequences.

I teared up too, but because I reflected back on those years, and felt good about them. This video is a message to young parents, you only get to do this once. Nothing else in your life is this important, spend time with your kids!

Oh wow!!! Love that you’re including him in it and having him go through the process of what to keep and why… I’m gonna have to steal that one from you :)

Thx for sharing. My 5 year old got way too many things from all his relatives. So much so that we will be donating many of his things. He already agreed and will pick the donations. Rad kid. Thx again

I don’t think we’re going to find out anytime soon, haha… (Though I do think it’s a fun experience for kids having Stanta et al around.. gives them magical stuff to get excited about. Mainly up to us parents to control the situation around all that gift giving, ugh)

It makes me wonder why we keep Santa (or the Three Kings) around. Santa has seemingly unlimited resources and can bring anything you want! It is an unreasonable expectation for parents to live up to. I wonder how different Christmas would be if Santa, elves, and the Three Kings were left out of it

Right?? I don’t think I’ve ever watched a commercial that many times in a row before – I just love this so much.
