Christmas Fruits

The way kids ask about their Christmas presents has changed over the years. There was a time when they would ask what they were getting for Christmas, or try and guess it. Their guesses were centered around modest things that they heard about in school. Later kids began to demand that they be told what they were getting for Christmas holiday Gifts, so they could let parents know before hand if they wanted it or not. And then there are today’s kids. They pick through the various magazines that are delivered to the house during the Christmas Holiday Season, they watch all the T.V. campaigns for toys with the utmost concentration and focus. The ones who know how to write make lists. The ones who don’t know how to write draw big circles around pictures in the magazine and yell ‘I want that!’ at the T.V. when a toy commercial is running.

There are several ways of dealing with this. One is to cancel all magazine subscriptions and pull the cable cord. But then what would my husband do while I prepare dinner? He would hover around the kitchen and that is something I can’t stand. And in all honesty I have to get Christmas Gifts for my kids and I need to get Unique Christmas Gifts ideas from somewhere.

I find holiday food a good way to pacify kids over excited about Christmas gifts. I don’t have a lot of time to bake cookies and I can’t have them eating candy canes all the time. So I give them Christmas Fruits to eat. We receive a lot of Christmas Gift baskets and I put them out for the kids. Often when they don’t feel like eating the ordinary fruit and crave something more festive, I order them a special fruit bouquet. It has fruit dipped in chocolate and they like it more than the conventional Christmas fruit. And it keeps them pacified. Apparently if you’re a kid, chocolate covered fruit means you’re getting something very special for Christmas.
