    I watched another channel where there were multiple kids and the gifts were so extravagant that even I was overwhelmed. The kids wouldn’t even look at the gifts but just moved to the next one and it seemed endless. Your kids appreciated ever moment and it was so refreshing. I realize to each their own but I am super proud of the kids you guys are raising.

      And no thank you either in between gifts... I think I know which family lol .. Those kind of parents give an extravagant amount of gifts, instead of the guidance,love and attention they really crave... It's sad, the parents in this vlog are doing it right!!! They get gifts and treats, but within reason... They are being prepared for the adult world in every way ...

    Great to see the "family gifts" being shared among your children! For those bemoaning the stuffies, fun socks and clothing- These kids recieved more than most children in this world do. Simple isn't something to be pitied. This is an obviously loving family with parents who invest in raising their children well.
    The kids still enjoyed gifts of 2 (!) Yoto players, several Maileg mice and accessories, lots of beautiful picture books, a family game, etc. Sharing is what you do in large families and it is good for shaping character. A few things that are "just theirs" and the rest to share!

      If they're like our kids... they never believed in Santa anyway. They prefered giving and receiving gifts from family members, not from "santa."

    While its true Christmas isn't all about gifts but i have issues with parents doing social media only and not actually providing the neceaties a child needs im a Christian too but if the child doesn't succeed in music for their future what then the more children you have and continue to have the harder to provide the basic things children need its the parents job to provide for the children not the children providing for parents Christmas is a joyful holiday for children its something most children look forward to all year and i truly could see the look on their faces they were all sad

      Yes, the big kids bought so many extra gifts for each other I felt bad for the little ones. We will definitely try to rethink things next year. Thankfully they also had stocking gifts and they were pretty cool!

  • @erinhutson4

    I feel like clothes shouldn't be a gift. Kids could care less n at the end of the day they needs clothes so just get em but don't wrap n count it as gifts.

      That really depends. My daughter wanted a unicorn onesie, so she got 1 from Sinterklaas (kind of like santa) and she loved it. Another year she got a new dress which was immediately her favorite. So nothing wrong with giving clothes! This year there will be less because of finances. But I know she is going to get enough. From my family! I just have some crafty things, 3 reading books, and 2 or 3 small toys. Maybe (if my money comes out ok) I will try to buy a rainbow high doll.

    Not many gifts for 12 people and the one that got the pig was so disappointed she almost cried. Then the boy getting clothes he wasn’t happy either. Boring feel sorry for the kids.

      Honestly what happened was a month earlier Enoch asked for the dinosaur and Melody asked for the pig. So I thought “perfect gift for Christmas!” But by the time Christmas rolled around they forgot they even wanted those things🤦🏼‍♀️ and all the big kids got “cooler” gifts for each other. So lesson learned. I’m going to see what the older kids are getting for eachother and get something similar for the little kids. After 20 years of being a mom I’m still learning. I guess that’s why grandmas are always so fun. They learned lessons many times over.❤️

    • @TheHappyCaravan

      Thankfully Naomi got Melody a little doll she really liked in her stocking and Enoch got a Lego car. Now all these months later Melody sleeps with her pig and Enoch sleeps with his dinosaur and the kids all fight over the Yoto players so thankfully it sort of worked out!😅
