Christmas Eve should be a magical time for kids, plus it is often hard to keep them amused as they are getting excited during the day which makes them not sleep.

If they get a nice basket on Christmas eve with bits to do to keep them amused and some nice things to encourage them to go to bed then the parents can have a nice bit of quality time to share together on xmas eve without running up and down trying to get the kids to settle down.

Yeah, thanks for that. I have two children of my own and your implication that all children live with both parents is pretty presumptive.

I also used to be a child and I was never spoiled with advent or Christmas eve presents. I got excited about Christmas but the point was that I was excited about Christmas Day. The entire premise of these ideas being announced on a money saving forum seems a little strange to me.

I understand that these "gifts" might not cost anything/much, but it seems like a good way to water down Christmas Day, and little else.

Bah Humbug!! They're not children for long....I think this is a lovely way of making the season special and magical for them. I haven't done it for mine this year but will certainly think about it next year. Thanks for the ideas!
