What we got our 6 kids for Christmas

Did you make it? Did you have to wrap any presents?

Cool things ❤ Klask is very nice game also, although it takes quite more space😅

You’re the best. So real and such a wonderful family.

This was our first year where we didn't wrap anything Christmas Eve!! I finished wrapping everything last night! We have 7 kids expecting number 8, so I definitely feel your pain lol

this is such a smart idea ! thank you❤god bless you and your family, merry christmas ! 🎄

As a mom of 9 this completely stresses me out 😂. My gifts have been wrapped for weeks! I also use lots of reusable drawstring fabric gift bags

Yes!! We did a lot of shared gifts too this year. Our kitchen toys were way falling apart so that is a lot of what we got.

I stayed up until 3a getting a head start on the wrapping in hopes that I wouldn't have to stay up as late tonight 😂 Why do I always wait until the last minute?! 🤦‍♀️🤣

Lite Brite!!!!! ❤

I order things weeks in advance and wrap them as they get delivered. Saves me tons of time and stress on Christmas Eve. I just hide the gifts in my closet, and we have a "no kids in mom's bedroom without permission" rule.

And here I am on Christmas Eve not a present wrapped 😂❤ Merry Christmas! 💕

My husband calls the eve before Christmas Eve "Christmas Adam" because Adam came before Eve. Haha😂

We call "the eve before Christmas eve" Christmas Adam. 😊

Next time, instead of wrapping everything, you can get reusable, large Christmas gift bags that have a drawstring. And maybe just wrap the smaller gifts...👍✅

I'm constantly floored by how much stuff Americans give kids for Christmas.
When I grew up it was one gift each on Christmas. That's it. The grand total.
Y'all be like "only" three gifts each plus all this other stuff 😮😱

That is so cool! We did the same for our 2 boys. Plenty fun games and board games, also including battle ship 😂 for both of them to play together. And then obvs individually too

Good luck
Merry Christmas!!

This year I got mine books because let's be real even though I tell my family they should gift experiences they always get some stuff as well.

This year marks another Christmas Eve where we still havent wrapped any presents... I'm throwing everything in a gift bag with pretty tissue, will probably be doing this at 2am (again). The thought of wrapping everything is overwhelm, so happy to see I'm not alone in this, thank you! 💖🙏

Little hack!!! GIFT SACKS!! They’re a life savor. I have 3 children, 1 one the way and though some would say it takes away the joy of unwrapping the paper or going crazy with the tissue paper from gift bags, it’s actually AMAZING!!!! ❤

EDIT TO ADD: It also makes hiding the presents a bit easier. Even in a smaller home. 🏠 ❤

I just finished wrapping my ĺast present!

In my house we call it Christmas Adam... get it because Adam came before Eve

It’s Christmas Eve and I’m yet again wrapping all our presents. 🙄

That might still be too many gifts girl. My kids get one gift, a shared gift and their stocking. Am I the grinch? No. Their grandparents spoil them.

We have a two year old and 7 month old, definitely got some shared gifts and a few that the baby can grow into. They’re too close in age to have several toys of their own and we want to teach them to play with one another too!

We leave for midnight mass in 30 minutes. My husband is napping and has yet to wrap any gifts for me or any from his mother or sister 😂 I left him home with the oldest 2 for 4 hours today and he made cookies instead. Mass will end at 2 am so he's going to have a fun night/morning 😂

And here I am nursing my 13 month old that has a cold on Christmas eve for the 3rd time and I've only wrapped like 3 gifts...it's 10:15 pm

I love how you did this! Not super overboard but everyone got something fun and useful, merry Christmas!! ❤

As a teen, I just accepted that it was "tradition" to wrap all the presents Christmas Eve....after coming home late from the extended family party that is 🫠😂

Good luck! I had to wrap 1 gift on Christmas Eve, my husband’s. All others I wrapped the weekend before or 23rd

My husband and I have also never not had to wrap a present on Christmas Eve until THIS year! It is Christmas Eve, just got home from church, and no unwrapped presents. It is an amazing feeling! (Yes, we did do it all last night, the 23rd) 😅

How do you wrap/open shared gifts? We got one this year and I’m struggling with who gets to open it

Chrissy. A blessed Christmas to you and yours. When my kids were little they each got 3 gifts… just like the infant Jesus got 3 gifts from the Wise Men. A big special one, a medium size one and a smaller one!

Merry Christmas ! 🎄

We didn’t wrap most things till Christmas Eve because we have a couple littles we can trust to not find and unwrap the presents! 😝 But it all worked out!
Merry Christmas!

Great idea!

All this plus whatever their grandparents send? Us Aunts and Uncles!

I used to get one large gift shared with all my siblings, a medium gift for me and a small one in my stocking.

Sometimes I don’t even put all the gifts my kids get under the tree and dole them out during the 12 days of Christmas until Epiphany. We used to get a couple small toys and chocolates on Epiphany for the 3 Magi visit.

We don't do gifts for our babies either!

Thank you for sharing your struggle with “procrastinating” gift wrapping. I tell myself every year that I’m going to wrap as I buy/receive the gifts so that I’m not staying up all night wrapping presents….. was Christmas 2024 any different… nope! I guess pushing off wrapping until the last minute is a Christmas tradition that I never wanted! 😅😂

Such a great idea to do the shared gifts! We did a similar thing this year as. A few individuals and the rest shared. We also got a couple extra for them to wrap and give to friends and family they want to bless themselves. ❤

Yes finally i family who gives their kids a normal amount of presents

My kids got a lot of the same retro games this year and they love them!!

Thank you for being realistic and not getting each kid something outrageous like a trip to New York or something overboard!❤

I have no kids yet and was still up wrapping to 3am this year! 😂😂❤🎄

The number of same items we got is insane

Yeah, my 16 month old got a shape sorter in her stocking that was her brother's first. And otherwise she got socks, toothbrushes, and some jingle bells I got her last year (which went right back into Christmas storage this week to use again next year)

Well I don’t feel too alone…for the first time in my adult life (25 years being an adult), I was still shopping and hadn’t wrapped one thing 2 days before Christmas…and I buy for almost 20
People.

I really wish I would have kept things this simple when my kids were growing up. Each one (only 2 kids) had 15-20 gifts each. So much money that didn’t need to be spent. They usually REALLY loved like 5 each and I could have gotten away with 5 each.

My 9 year old sister got the same camera and she loves it and takes it everywhere great idea!
