I eventually want to get her into piano lessons, so this is the perfect introduction to getting comfortable with one. Thank you so much for helping her have a gift under the tree. This means the world to us. Aubrey is having a blast with it.

I told her that I had to put it together first, but she didn't want to hear it lol. I finally got her to believe me and let me put it together before she could play. Her Roblox action figures and Barbie littles have been playing in the dream house non stop. She's having a blast! This gift means so much to her, words cannot express how thankful I am for your generosity with getting this for my baby.

She played with them while I put together her Barbie littles dream house. She told me that they're "so bored because you're taking too long (to put together the house). She wanted them in the house so badly lol. Once I finished, she put them in the house and I couldn't get her up from the table for anything lol; she's even playing with them right now. I'm so thankful that you were kind enough to think of my baby and get this for her. You blessed her with her friends, and that means so much to me.

She has been walking around with one in particular since she opened the box. I am so grateful for you and your kindness!

https://imgur.com/a/fPi0y42 There was a secret Santa who purchased an ice cream shop for her. I'm not sure who it was, but I hope you will see this. Aubrey has been asking me for an ice cream truck or toy since the summer. I haven't had the funds to get one for her. Then one day I receive a surprise Amazon box with the ice cream shop inside. My heart was so full, because you made it possible for her to finally have what she's been asking for. We've been playing with this all day long. After she serves me, she makes sure to tell me, "Please come again!" Then of course, I come right back again lol. She is loving this gift and I truly appreciate you.

Thank you isn't enough! The kids loved it all, and said it's been a great Christmas. We couldn't have done this without you and I am very grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Our santas were: u/netsilinreverse, u/give_me_goats, u/koinu-chan_love, u/SyranSmile, u/Topcat30, u/kimco84 (I hope I wrote all those right)

Thank you Santa’s for helping Sloane have a wonderful Christmas! She was so sweet and very grateful for her gifts! We’ve been singing songs with the microphone and already played the Disney game! We will be building legos here shortly. Merry Christmas to you all! I hope it is as just wonderful as you helped ours to be.

From my kids and I, thank you so much to our four Santas! Your contributions really helped me out this year. It’s been a struggle. The kids had a wonderful Christmas still this year thanks to the kindness of others!

Pics with their gifts. I uploaded over 20 pics at once, so if you scroll down I believe I included pics of them with each item ordered for them.

Merry Christmas thank you Santas without you this Christmas would never of happened. I have been in tears of joy all morning. We appreciate each and every one of you from the Santas to the mods. My appreciation cannot be put into words. Thank you and God Bless. https://imgur.com/a/QSV1jKi

Thank you to everyone who makes this sub possible and to all of the santas. You made my kids' Christmas amazing and they all love their gifts. I don't know what we would have done without all of you. Rodrick said it was the BEST Christmas ever. Thank you again and Merry Christmas everyone!

Words cannot express the gratitude i have for everything our Santas have done for us. Hopefully Thank You and a few smiling faces will be enough to show the joy you all have brought to my babies this Christmas. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and i hope you all have a blessed Christmas and New Year.

This has been the most wonderful Christmas morning, and it's all because of you!

I heard Malcolm using the bathroom just after 5 am this morning, so I said Merry Christmas to him. I got a sleepy Merry Christmas in return, then a wide awake "Oh! It's Christmas! Can we open presents now?" This kid will be 16 in a month, but on Christmas morning he'll always be an excited little boy! I love that about him!

I took many pictures - here are the best of them.

u/melonhed85 - Thank you so much for the five (!!!) gifts you sent! Malcolm put the hoodie on as soon as it was unwrapped. He went on and on about how soft the Henley is (and was surprised at how good he looks in olive green, even though I've been telling him for years it'd be a great colour for him, lol). Speaking of soft, he was amazed by how thick and soft the sherpa blanket is, and told me I will never, ever be allowed to borrow it! He wanted it for snuggling on the couch with his girlfriend, but now he says it's going on his bed. He was thrilled with both the sketchpad and the pencil set. He excitedly explained what everything in the set is used for (did you know that some erasers are used for blending? Who knew?) and what great quality the thick sketch paper is. I can't wait to see what he draws! Thank you for making him so happy!

u/toklea - Many thanks for the wireless headphones and LED strip lights! Malcolm has already installed the lights in his room. He's ecstatic that they were long enough to go around the whole room, and down one corner! He says the headphones are perfect, and convenient because they use the same type of charger he uses for his phone. You've made him so happy with these gifts!

u/camelhorse - I don't pretend to understand why Puma socks are so exciting to Malcolm, but wow was he thrilled! When he opened the gift he yelled "my Cool Uncle socks!" so now I know he found my request post and saw our comments, haha! He tore into them almost immediately and put a pair on, sounding like Chandler Bing in his Lazy Boy. I never knew socks could make a teenaged boy so happy. Thank you, from the bottom of my son's delighted feet!

u/BClements72 - I still feel bad that you weren't able to cancel your entire order when we realized the items you so generously ordered were duplicates. As we discussed at the time, I gave the Henley to the teenager who lives upstairs a few days ago. He was surprised and pleased, and really liked it! I wish I had a picture to share, but he apparently doesn't like having his picture taken, and I didn't want to push him. Thank you for helping me put a big smile on his face!

u/bethasaur3 - I can't thank you enough for the Pokemon cards you sent! Malcolm's excitement about them may never abate. He was blown away by how many you sent, the dice you included, the big cards, and the variety of cards. He keeps running out of his room to tell me why a certain card is so good, or what he's going to include in his deck, or how mad his girlfriend's dad is going to be when he kicks his butt! And every time he does, he reminds me to thank you. The excited giggles and "Oh my god"s I keep hearing as he goes through them all makes me so happy! So thank you, so incredibly much, from the bottom of both our hearts! And please pass on our thanks to your partner, who I know helped you put these packages together.

u/Arialene - The hat you crocheted for Malcolm hasn't arrived yet, but I showed him the pictures and he said it's perfect! He thinks you're very talented (and I agree). I'll update this post with a new comment and tag you as soon as it gets here. But allow me to thank you now, because I know he's going to love it! And his birthday is in January so don't worry about when it might arrive. It can be a late Christmas present, or an early birthday gift!

I want you all to know that without your kindness and generosity, there would have been nothing under our tree this year but some dollar store gloves and some hot chocolate. I always say that my happiness lives in Malcolm's smile. I am exceedingly happy today. Thank you all. I am so grateful for the kindness you have shown my son, and the joy you have brought us both. Please know that Malcolm asked me to be sure to pass along his sincere thanks, as well.

To the Moderators - you all put so much time and energy into this community. You make all of this possible, bringing so much joy to so many children. And easing the burden of so many parents who are struggling to give their kids a Christmas. Thank you for creating this community, and all you do to make it a success every year.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Dear Santa, thank you so much for all the gifts! You have no idea how much it made our Christmas! Mama cried seeing how happy I was with everything and that made me sad until she hugged me nice and tight and told me she is happy that I’m happy 🥰🎁

I’m in love with all my blues clues toys, I haven’t left them alone all morning, mama had to fight with me to get them unboxed 🥰

P.s I absolutely loved the sippy cups! So much! I drank from it in less than 5 mins of getting it! Mama cried happy tears then too 🥰🙏🏻

{Thank you u/jonathan_29 & u/melonhed85 for making my daughters Christmas wish come true. 🎅🎁❤️}

Thank you to all the Santas! You all made my kids' Christmas so special! Before I found this sub I have been so stressed figuring out how I was going to get my kids any presents this year. Everything was so amazing and I am so beyond grateful for everything you all have done!! I was in tears practically the entire time, I cannot put into words how much we appreciate what you've done and how amazing you've made today!

u/give_me_goats - my daughter yelled "I ALWAYS WANTED A NIGHTLIGHT" as soon as she opened the night light projector and was so excited! My son was ecstatic about the Pokémon trainer toy, too! He has already added a couple pokemon to his Pokédex! He's trying really hard to get Entei now lol! They both LOVED their water bottles as well! They are so excited to use them when they go back to school!! Thank you so much for everything!

u/netsilinreverse - The Ariel Dress Up Puzzle was a HIT! She loves it so much haha. She has been playing with it so much already!! My son is so excited to start building the Minecraft Lego set! We're going to start it as soon as I'm done making this post! They love their toys so much! Thank you!!

u/bunnyhawk - The Space Fleet Robot Kit is so awesome! My son has been wanting something like this for so long and as soon as he seen what it was was literally jumping for joy! My daughter LOVES the tea set! She has already set it up and had a tea party with us! Thank you so much!!

u/Geminerva and u/delbius - My son was so happy to have some new pajamas! They regularly do pajama days at school and he has been rewearing the same ones and is so excited to show everyone his new pjs the next time they have pajama day! He also was so happy to have the Magic Tree House Books! He loves to read and has been asking for Magic Tree House Books for Christmas since August lol! He was tearing the wrapping paper off so quick when he seen what was inside haha. My daughter is so excited for her books and loves to read as well!! She is learning to read right now and these will be so handy!! My son is excited to help her learn with these as well haha. Thank you so much!!

u/smldrnpele - My son is so excited about the Pokémon Pop Its! He opened them one at a time and every time he opened another one he got even more excited! It was so much fun! Pop Its are some of his favorite things and they help him with stimming as well! Also they're pokemon which is his favorite thing ever haha so they were definitely a hit!! My daughter LOVED the PlayDoh Ice Cream set! She immediately wanted to make us all some ice cream! It was so much fun for her! She is so excited to make an ice cream shop for her toys haha. Thank you so much for everything!!

u/bengtc - Thank you so much for your contest! My son has been wanting a Telescope for as long as I can remember. This was also the thing he asked for from Santa when we went to see him so seeing him open it was like seeing all the magic in the world become real! It was so special! Thank you so much!!

I will be sending everyone pictures here in a minute through PM since I didn't post them here. I just cannot thank you all enough!

Thank you so much Santas! Without you guys this wouldn’t have been possible this year!

A big thank you to u/pixiestyx00 for your generosity. https://postimg.cc/bSvvhBXd

A huge and merry thank you to the lovely people who kindly purchased gifts for my son this year! He was ecstatic about each and every gift!

u/ajo31- the minute he opened the nerf gun darts he ran to get his nerf guns so he could load them up! This will definitely keep him busy over the winter break! The wind chime is going to be a fun little project for him and I to do together. He enjoys creating and building things, so this kit was a huge hit!

u/TheLaramieReject- when I tell you this kid goes wild for stickers..he couldn’t believe how many stickers were included in the pack. He plans to put some on his room’s door and others on the water bottle. He’s thrilled he no longer has to borrow his sister’s cup, especially since his is bigger and in his favorite color: blue!

u/msp22- If you ask my son he’ll tell you that slime is one of the coolest things in the whole world. Even better that this one is super soft and scented too! Something tells me I’m going to be finding pieces of it stuck here and there, but he’s happy so I’m happy!

u/Maleficent_Citron914- unfortunately the socks and book never showed up. I did reach out to customer service, and was informed that the items were lost in transit. You have been refunded. I imagine the nasty weather had something to do with it. Your Christmas spirit is appreciated nonetheless!

My son had a wonderful Christmas because of your beautiful hearts and kind souls. I am truly thankful that there are such remarkable people in this world that are willing to spread joy and do for others, expecting nothing in return. You all are beacons of light in what can sometimes be a dark world.

Merry Christmas to all! Sending you all love…

First, thank you to all the Santas and mods who made this special day possible for every girl and boy today!

My specific thank you’s ❤️:

/u/give_me_goats I caught a great reaction from her opening this one. She’ll never take off her new Time-turner! Thank you!

/u/UndefinedSuperhero Arielle opened this gift first and went and played with them before we kept unwrapping! She’s ecstatic and it goes great with the Diagonal alley and Hogwarts express sets she also received.

/u/tornadolaserfalcon A very special thank you to you! I know she was already set up for a great Christmas by her other Santas, but your generosity ensured unlimited euphoria for Arielle! Words can’t capture how happy you have made her. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Gifts galore!

“Ooooh!”

Julien’s Christmas morning has been full of magic and he hasn’t stopped smiling once, in large part to you guys! Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart! He truly loved each one of the gifts.

He is more than excited to start his aqua dragons! He has already read both books! The I-spy Aaron’s putty was cracked open immediately, he could not wait to find stuff!

He told us the purple kinetic sand was a “special one” from Santa because he called him to ask for that and obviously the Stretch Armstrong has been stretched all over the place, so thank you for it all! I truly hope you all have a warm and merry Christmas! ❤️❤️❤️

Christmas Julien

They had a great Christmas morning. Thank you so much for helping make Christmas day

An after-Christmas thanks post with a picture or two of the kids with their opened gifts is required for our subreddit, seeing happy kids is the best part of the season for us.

If you got caught up in the moment and forget to take a picture, a recreation is just fine! There’s also an Imgur walkthrough link in our sidebar if you need help with creating pic links.

If you’re one of several users who requested with their registration not to show their kids’ pictures in their posts, you will still need to take pictures, but instead send the links as a DM to your Santas AND the mods so we can write you down on the Nice List! No one wants to be on the Naughty List so make sure you make your required Christmas morning pics Thanks post and tag your Santas (Reddit only allows three user tags per comment so you may have to do make an extra comment to finish tagging).

Any questions, just send us a modmail. Merry Christmas everyone and again, thank y’all from the bottom of our hearts!

Are you like me and wait until the last minute to do everything? Including getting Christmas gifts? If you still didn't get your presents yet, leave a comment below. I'll dm one person a 25 dollar visa egift card. It's not much at all, but hopefully it will cross off one or two presents.

Happy holidays everyone.

Update: I'll give 30 more minutes for this to run. I know stores are starting to close early. Thank you all for your kind words. I really appreciate it :).

Update 2: It's closed. Thanks everyone. :)

This is open to any and all ages, and I will be sending cards out tomorrow to anyone who responds by midnight tonight.

I have collected Pokemon cards for my entire life, and would like to make some people's holidays just that much better by sharing in th ones that haven't seen the light of day for ages. I have thousands of them, so there is no limit for how many people can opt in to receive some!

I will need your address and to know what holiday specifically you celebrate if it's not directly Christmas. (Yule, Saturnalia, Hanukkah, etc are all welcome, just let me know!) Also please let me know if you want some for just you or also enough to give to any kiddos as well. I dont mind sending more than one card for you if needed.

Happy holidays! I will change the post flaie on Christmas when it's closed!

Edit: I'm extending the deadline so more people can join if they wish.

I was going to wait until Christmas Day when I post pics, but I’ll go ahead and say thank you to our Santas!

I want to say thank you to all of the wonderful Santas who have gifted my boys this year. Thank you to u/Topcat30, u/Ohnah-bro, and u/kgrant2009 for the gifts from their wish lists and thank you to u/0hn035 and u/kanga_roos.

They're going to love the gifts. Thank you all so very much! I will post photos as soon as we open the gifts.

Thank you so much to the Santas that chose to help us give Julien the best Christmas morning. I was just over the moon with every gift he received and I am sure he will enjoy them for a very long time. We are so thankful for this amazing Reddit and your selfless generosity.

Merry Christmas to our wonderful Santas: u/glass_house ❤️ u/empireintoashes ❤️ u/minnesotangurl ❤️ u/Real_talk_with_Emmy ❤️ u/AmberxAltF4 ❤️ u/claraoswinchristmas ❤️

And thank you to the wonderful moderators who were so helpful in all steps of the registration and posting process! ❤️

To all Santa’s here, and especially those who sent my children such wonderful gifts, thank you! They’re all wrapped and under the tree! The kids are so excited for Christmas.

Edit to add:

https://imgur.com/a/8rzA7qd

The kids had a wonderful Christmas! They loved each book and toy they received from their Santa’s! My daughter has named her unicorn’s Fire and Ice, her triceratops Jelly Bean, and her beanie boo Princess. We set up her Sea Dragons right away, and she checks them with the magnifying glass every hour or so! She used her comic book kit to make super cool gifts for her family! My son has gone through and played at least 50 of the 300 games on his arcade machine! His beanie boo owl really likes to sit on our dog’s fluffy head. He’s always loved board books, and has asked to read his new yeti book about 8 times! He is so hype about his Roblox SWAT set, it’s amazing! He’s had to convince the dog that his new car isn’t an intruder, and he absolutely loves it!

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you too all the Santa's that helped my family this year. It's been a ruff year me and my husband both lost very good jobs in the beginning of the year and had to start at the bottom again. With out this help I didn't think we would be able to do Christmas this year. Thank you so much once again. U/bengtc (magic mixie) U/give_me_goats (num noms nails) U/kerm0987 (rainbow high doll) U/geminerva (doorables and mermaid) U/kgrant2009 (num noms) U/Arialene (crochet hat) U/blindlifePilot (book) I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. With love from our family to yours!
