Need some ideas for the kiddos? If you kids are anything like mine you either get a lot of requests for Christmas or none at all.
My daughter wants everything she sees on T.V. She will see a toy and immediately she wants to put that on her wishlish.
My son, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He never mentions anything he wants or likes so it’s going to be tough shopping for him.
