Since Christmas is a time for giving, what better way to show your love and affection than by giving a present to a special little someone in your life?

Giving gifts to children at Christmas time is a tradition that dates back centuries. It’s a way of showing them we care about them – and spreading some Christmas cheer.

Part of the fun for young ones is to write to Santa with a wish list of what they want him to bring.

This not only gives parents a good idea of what they should buy, but also use to instil discipline when needed. Telling a child that Santa is watching can be an effective way to improve behaviour (for a short time!).
