I mean I know my LO is too little this year, but when will she get it? And speaking of being too young, do you think I should even bother leaving Santa gifts, or is it pretty much pointless this year? The only reason I could think of to do it is so I could write in the baby book what Santa brought. She will be the only child at our little Christmas.

my daughter got it at 1.5, when my parents got her american girl's itty bitty baby...she still talks about that day! she's 4 1/2 now
my son gets it this year...he'll be just 2.5!
this christmas is going to be so much fun!!!
This. DD & SS are both 3.5 and while they recognized Santa last year, they didn't really get it, this year it's non stop Santa's going to come and he's going to bring presents. They both recognize him this year and understand that Santa brings presents. Though, I know they don't understand what Christmas is really about, I know we are trying to get it in to their minds now that it is not about the presents as much as it is about love and family.

Mo has been the holiday spirit since June when she discovered Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!
Last year she was okay- kind of into Santa a little, this year it's non stop! Everything she sees at Target/BJs/ in a magazine, Santa is going to bring her. She'll be 3 April 1.
My girls don't really get it and they are 28 months. I think next year because they will be closer to 3 1/2 at Christmas they will get it a lot more. This year they will point and try to say Santa when they see Santa, but they don't really get what the big fuss is all about yet.
They are more excited about the fact that their is a tree inside our house and not outside at the park like they are used to it. It is so cute to see them wake up each morning and get all excited about the tree.
