: You can have them write a letter and then they can have their name on the banner with a $5 donation to feed the reindeer. Not too sure that it costs THAT much to feed them....

This is the firs I've heard of reindeercam! We're definitely going to be writing letters to Santa Claus tomorrow!
Gifts for Kiddos: I only have one kiddo, and he comes from a great family, so I will probably get him some type of new toy, and some blueberries(, theyre his favorite food in the whole world)
Gifts for parents: We're going to make salt dough ornaments with his hand print and we're going to make some type of picture frame with his picture in it
No Christmas party here since I only have the one kiddo, but we'll probably do something special on the 23rd.Comment

I make baked goodies for each family (apple bread this year)...but that's it. No individual gifts. I have 18 kids on my books.....I'd go broke buying gifts for them all.Comment

Dcks will get individual presents from me. They all like different things. I will spend up to $25 on them.
Parents? Do they need a gift? I make cute crafts from their kids every week, so I'm sure I'll do a few things. Not planning on anything out of the ordinary, though.
It's really hard to do Christmas parties because of all of the part-time kiddos I have, but I will try to somehow include everyone. I'm definitely not doing one after hours, and I'm pretty sure the parents will appreciate that. Their plates are already very full.Comment

1. We're doing a secret Santa, so each child will get a gift from another (my kids are included in this). 2. parents are getting an adorable ornament with a picture of their child and maybe another ornament craft 3. We will have a party with music, food, and games- kids only. I used to buy presents for the kids, but it gets to be too expensive, and they get so much from everyone else, so a party seems to work.Comment

Santa visits my house early. He comes Dec. 22 and leaves presents that stay at daycare. The kids get a gift from me to take home. This year it's stockings with their name on them filled with a few things like nail polish, lip gloss, matchbox cars, markers etc. The parents are getting homemade vanilla extract. And after the day I'm having, tonight I will be finishing the vodka left over from making the extract!Comment

I may have gotten the book exchange idea here and I know I got the cookie swap idea here ... so Thank You Daycare.com Members (and non-members :
I hope I am happy with how it works out. The way it looks is that it will save me some money (I want to do only a very small fee increase this year, so am working to save in other ways) and save me some frustrations too. Less time spent dreaming up ideas, making homemade items, and not knowing if anyone actually likes them.
So Yay!! I think it's going to be great!! Plus, it's fun to change things up every once in a while

1. A $5-$10 gift that fits the interest of that child.
2. I usually do some type of handprint ornament. Nothing elaborate.
3. No party. We will have special meals and snacks throughout the week.Comment

1. Some kids are getting books, some are getting gifts relating to whatever they are struggling with academically or socially, some are getting musical instruments. Depends on the child, their interest, and their abilities.
2. Each family is getting a gift card to Chili's. What can I say, they came in 3 packs and I needed 9 all together. As for what the kids are making for their parents.....ummm.....ask me on Dec 24th. I may have it figured out by then.
3. I don't do parties.Comment

I buy clearance toys after Christmas each year and then have a box full of choose from. Usually a $3.00/$5.00 cost to me.
Kids are mixing up a bag of homemade hot cocoa mix with an attached bag of snowman soup ( marshmallows, chocolate chips, Heresy's kiss for the hat) with attached poem and then they pick a dollar store mug to go along with it
I have a small party with two simple games and they kids do a gift exchange of a $4/$5 gift. And a special treat.Comment

I give out a small gift like a book or stuffed animal at our annual Christmas program. We also have a Polar Express Pajama Party on the last day before Christmas break. FUN! But I try not to spend too much money.Comment

Each child is getting a box with a pair of pajama's, hot cocoa, popcorn and a copy of the book "T'was the Night Before Christmas".
I don't buy gifts for the parents but the kids make a different ornament each year to hang on their trees. This year we are doing the "melted snowman" ornament.
We will be having a party with pizza, holiday goodies and lots of games and activities on the last day of care before Christmas vacation.Comment
