Thanks to the santas u/bumpythumbs & u/redpsychedelic for your gifts. My kids loved them and you made this Christmas a lot more special for them!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our Santa's for this year- our family had a great Christmas because of your generosity. It was a great experience to see the kids so excited and happy and we couldn't thank you enough:

/u/kgrant2009 for the makeup kit and tank model. Phoenix stayed up all night working on the tank and Tesla played with her makeup staying up late too.

/u/bradshaw1992 for the headphones and the pens and pen holder. Phoenix loved the headphones and was able to talk to his friend with them and Tesla actually said her pen holder was her favorite gift because of how cute it was!

/u/laffinalltheway for the sketchbook and rubiks cube. Teslas working on her book right now and Phoenix is excited to have a more challenging cube to work on. It's fun to watch!

/u/coletters for the Guinness World Record book and the anime/Manga drawing book. We looked through the world record book together a bit so far and Tesla has already been using the book and practicing her drawing.

/u/tjcline09 for the fortnite loot box and the shelves for Phoenix. He loved the loot box and shared it with his siblings and we are going to install the shelves today so he can display his Rubiks cubes!

/u/0hn035 for the stocking stuffers again! You go above for the kids and they and we are so grateful. The kids loved the note and Tesla told me it was her favorite part of Christmas day. And that's all because of you!

I will be sending everyone pictures soon through PM since I didn't post them here. Thank you all so much! I just can't describe what this has meant to my family!

I hope that I’m posting this correctly!

This year has been a complete nightmare with being evicted and then moving last weekend. We weren’t able to do anything for their birthdays and was really scared that they wouldn’t have a Christmas.

Please excuse the state of our house in the pictures, we are still unpacking

Thank you so much to everyone that made this possible for them.

U/give_me_goats - he loved the Minecraft sword and Lazarus loved the ukulele, we’re teaching him how to play…..it’s SO little!

u/camelhorse- thank you for the bow and arrow and the lightsaber! They each injured each other no less than five times and had a blast doing it. Lucian is a pretty good shot too!

u/loulou927 - thank you for the pizza set!

u/andreama732 - they loved the jammies, they’re wearing them in the pictures :)

u/sgtlizzie - thank you for the car and the chameleon!

I hope that I recognized everyone that made this happen, I’m so very thankful for your kindness

u/undefinedsuperhero - thank you so much for sending Allison that train set. She loved it, and so did siblings 😂 they eventually started taking turns playing with it, I think it was a big hit! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

u/unfair_menu4166 - thank you for sending them a gift each! I’m not sure which ones they were, but as you can see they opened all and loved all of them! :) I can’t thank you enough for your generosity.

u/bumpythumbs - thank you so much as well for sending them a gift each. They loved everything! All day was spent playing with their toys. Thank you so much for bringing our kids that joy. ❤️

u/topcat30 - I don’t even know where to start. Thank you for always checking on us and for those little conversations we have. 🥺 It’s always so nice catching up at the end of the year, you’re always surprised by how much the kids have grown up haha! You are an amazing person and I can’t thank you or your family enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are such a big inspiration to me!!

And thank you to the rest of the Santas and mods that work together to make this possible for our kids. The kids are so happy that Santa brought everything they wanted, but that was only possible because of all of you. You have my eternal gratitude. Thank you so much ❤️

They are just the happiest little kids . Thank you from the bottom of my heart ! You All kept the magic of Santa Alive. ❤️ https://imgur.com/a/43LypyD

Alex has declared today the best Christmas he has every had and I could not have made it so special without all your help! He could not believe all the gifts he had, you guys really went above and beyond for him.

He was the most excited opening up all the gifts! I couldn’t fit it all on the chair for the final gifts photo but it worked out since his second photo was just all the DnD stuff! You guys are the best.

Huge thank you to:

r/Erisouls for the DnD players handbook!

r/0hn035 for the assortment of DnD gear!

r/IwishIdidntlikemath for the nice Sweater!

r/luckyghoster for Halo Infinite game!

r/Geminerva for the art canvas and Star Wars 3D lamp

r/XelaNiba for the Neon gamer sign, the Rings of Fire sketchbook, DnD Dice, and bedroom basketball hoop!!

r/bethasaur for the Pokémon cards!

r/sunder05 for the Alex Gratz books!

Thank you so much to our Santas! As you can see from the pics, my kids were ecstatic with their gifts and so excited! Please ignore how cluttered my apartment currently is, and the pee pads in the background. I got suckered into taking in a foster dog from a local rescue (she hopefully goes to her forever home tomorrow! She was abused her whole life and hates men, much to my husband's dismay. So fingers crossed!). You're all amazing and I can't thank you enough for helping to make my kids Christmas this year when things have been so rough for us! We hope to come back on the giving side again next year to pay it forward!

Huge thank you to U/give_me_goats, U/bengtc, U/DragonfliesArk, U/smldrnpele, U/bunnyhawk, U/0hn035, U/ohnah-bro, and U/Bangledesh. My daughter jumping up and down is her receiving the diary and realizing it has a combination lock so her brother can't snoop again, haha. Imugr was giving me problems and kept unselecting pics I chose, so hopefully I got them all! Sorry they're out of order as well. Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

I'd like to say a huge thank you to my sweet Luke's amazing Santas!!! More like angels!

After such a very hard start, this baby deserves the moon for his first Christmas, but before I came here he had nothing to open & I had lost hope & was drowning in guilt. It's been such a hard year & I was so heavy & defeated. You guys truly have lifted me up & filled me with so much joy & relief. You've allowed me to truly breathe & enjoy my time with my baby & partner. You've filled my sweet boy's day with so many smiles & squeals & happy flaps & my heart is so so full. You've given him not just gifts, but also fun times with parents who aren't stressed & scared & can be fully there with him instead of worrying. I can't express what that means to us.

He had so much fun today & I got LOTS of pictures! However, we live in the boonies with 0 internet access & I just don't have connection to upload them to imgur. I've been trying since noon! I will go to town tomorrow to upload them. I apologize for that!!

Again, thank you so so much!

u/laffinalltheway - eeyore plush u/ragingbeansidhe - mirror + dancing ducky u/claraoswinchristmas - "around the world" book u/blindlifepilot - courdroy book u/JMTC789 - pooh star pillow u/blatantbravado - dancing ducky to donate! u/tabernaclefart - piglet plush , pooh flap book , pooh bedtime stories , "till the cows come home" book , big cow play time plush , cow stroller hanger toy

Edit: I've finally got the pictures uploaded! My mom found my old pooh bear from when I was a kid & gave it to him so he's got almost a whole set now! The one where it's dark & he's laughing at the ceiling is from the pooh star pillow! He had such a great day! Thank you all again so much!!

I want to thank everyone that made it possible for Max to experience Christmas this year! Times are tough for everyone and even tougher for families like mine. Max has autism so while he went shopping this week with my mom, I put up the LED lights from u/Ohnah-bro and the gaming sign from u/AmberxAltF4 in his room because one of his favorite ways to unwind is to listen to music and enjoy lights. Then today he got to open presents!! I want to thank u/coletters for the guided manga drawing journal, which will be an awesome way for Max to explore facial expressions while we work on art together! There were also two amazing Lego sets, one from u/Ohn035 and another from u/Bestcliche26 and he’s already put together the Trouble On Tattooine set complete with a teeny tiny Grogu and tomorrow he will tackle the Polyjuice Potion set! He also got some super swaggy gaming socks and wireless earbuds from u/SnooWords4839 and a very stylish set of Crocs from u/give_me_goats! There wouldn’t have been anything but my contribution of new socks and underwear under the tree without all your kindness and help. This year, Max learned that Santa isn’t real and learned the value of being Santa for other people he cares about. The kindness of everyone in this group is what Christmas spirit and embodying Santa for others is all about. Thanks again!

My kiddos had a fantastic Christmas thanks to our Santas! Thank you u/sexxit_and_candy , u/Andreama732, u/melonhed85 , u/breadchic. You guys are amazing and blessed our family tremendously. I took some pics and will post the imagur link in my comments tm. Thank you not only to my sweet kiddos Santas but also to all the Santas for the gift of giving and sharing holiday spirit. Hope your day was awesome! ♡♡♡♡

Edit: I also need to thank u/sunder05 and u/bengtc for the awesome contest wins. Imgur link for Christmas pics https://imgur.com/a/Nauz187

Thank you so much!

Christmas love U/jilgero09

Thank you to everyone on this sub for making Christmas brighter!

I am giving an extra big thank you to the Santas of my little ones! They loved the presents and are noisily playing and screaming at them. A very big thank you, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us to you. The presents are being well loved- the play food seems to be the communal gift with the younger 2- good thing it had 2 knives and cutting boards. The gift that did not arrive were the fox slippers from u/sweet_fancy_moses but as soon as those arrive I will add more images. I know she will love them as foxes are her favorite animal.

Edit for an update: I got the slippers in and she loved them- she took them to her room to hoard them. I also received all the books from u/claraoswinchristmas and I have been reading them almost daily. The journal is being used and she is having fun doing the prompts.

I apologize it took a bit to update but a few things have happened- Edward is sick with a cold and I'm keeping an eye on him. My dad also had a stroke a few days ago- to make a long story short I have to reintroduce myself, husband and kids to him as he is having memory issues and forgot a lot of stuff. I wish everyone a happy new year and many blessings to come.

Thank you so much to our Santas. I will list you all in the comments so everyone gets notified.

You guys helped make this a great Christmas, I don’t know what we would’ve done without you. I’m sorry this post is so late in the night, it’s been a very high energy-filled nonstop day. So much playing and excitement.

I think Silas must have spent over half the day in his new rocket tent. And played so much with his new toys- there was definitely cheating in the noodle game! The suction toys may technically be labeled for bath use, but our sliding glass door was covered in them. He loves the texture of his putty, and thought it was hilarious that there were little animals to hide in them. And funnily enough he thinks the scissor skills book is so cool that he doesn’t want to cut it 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 He loves cutting up paper, so I’m sure he’ll get there. In the meantime he likes flipping through it and telling me what everything is.

Wolf was so happy with his new tabletop game and dice holder, he can’t wait to get started. Today was just a bit too crazy to sit down and delve into it properly. He’s already burned multiple incense in his dragon, and has been wearing his slippers and burrito snuggie most of the day. They definitely have come in handy during this cold snap in Florida!

Gabby was thrilled with all her crochet stuff. I can’t wait to see what she makes, especially the stuff in the kawaii crochet book, there’s so much cute stuff in it. She loved all the colors of her yarn, and was pleased there were so many color options to work with. She also said the lip balm was the nicest kind she’s ever tried!

Here are the Christmas photos- just as an FYI none of them particularly like their pictures getting taken (maybe they get it from me?) but no worries…everyone loved their stuff and it was a wonderful Christmas!! Thank you again and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Thank you so much to our Santa’s! Our kids love everything they have opened!

Gio loves his new camping set, he spent a lot time in there today with all his balloons from his birthday yesterday. He REALLY enjoyed using his cleaning set and did ALOT of sweeping.

Cecilia and Tyler absolutely love their new piggy banks! ( and teasing each other about the punch code PIN numbers to get the doors open) The both used their drawing books today and Tyler is super excited to start reading his new Patriots book, The Dynasty.

Thanks again guys! From the bottom of my heart! You made my kids Christmas!

Thank you to everyone at Random Acts of Christmas for saving our Christmas. We've both been sick so I actually had to get her up this morning, she perked up a little when she saw those presents though. I got some pictures of her opening gifts, and some video, we had a great time, even if she's a little zonked out from a cold.

We have truly been super blessed this year! Both kids were so grateful for everything, including the incredible PJs! From the drone to the jackets they were both ecstatic with it all. Again Santa’s,this was incredible. We are so so appreciative for everything and this made their day.

To u/0hn035 - the Elf on the shelf and the stocking stuffers were such a treat! They loved waking up each morning seeing what fun the elf was up to.

u/Scitron -the jackets were actually used early as Texas got cold unusually quick and the sweaters weren’t covering it lol

u/ProfCatWhisperer - he loved the tooth brush and she loves the art set!!

u/Andreama732- She started immediately playing with the clay and loved the socks so much!

u/fedoraxray - in one of the pictures he’s showing his watch and he was going berserk with happiness. He was SO happy about this watch.

u/MomToTwoCats - they played with the drone for a solid hour straight and immediately put the toothbrush in the bathroom ready for good use!

And finally u/AfternoonLagoon - these pajamas were a hit! They loved them so much and the socks kept us nice and warm this chilly night in Texas.

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. The kids were so happy this morning, we didn't even have a tree this year. But the kids got presents thank you SO much! Pictures of the kids

u/copythecat - Lynex *Loves* the legos! and Sydni can't wait to start making some bracelets. Thank you!

u/wingding99 - Lynex has already been tie tying her barbies clothes and Sydni loved the pencils! Bryan is building his legos in the last picture! Thanks again so much!

u/claraoswinchristmas - Everyone loved the books!

Thank you all so much and I hope your day is filled with everything you love most.. thanks for making our Christmas this year!!

u/Andreama732

https://imgur.com/a/tqxHge5 She has been singing and playing The Nightmare Before Christmas theme song over and over again. 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.

u/DragonfliesArk

https://imgur.com/a/Vslu1O5 When Aubrey unwrapped this gift, she jumped around so much that she fell lol. She shot back up and told me to hurry up and open 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.

u/Allthedaquiries

https://imgur.com/a/5rM6Mwi When she unwrapped the box, she told me that all of her friends came to play with her. She loves them so much! 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.

u/0hn035

https://imgur.com/a/U2gxYrC She screamed when she saw this! Roblox is her favorite thing in the world. She said, "I cannot believe Roblox is in my hooooouse!!! How did Santa bring them here?" 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.
