thanks A big thank you to our Santas!
What a fun time Holly had all day. She just turned four, and autistic, so she wasn’t really aware that Christmas was happening until she woke up and saw the gifts. She did a quick little dance and then went over to investigate everything lol. She still can’t open presents by herself so we help. She played with everything off and on for the rest of the day until she fell asleep. We’re up early now, and she’s back at it!
A big thanks to everyone for bringing joy to us and Holly, from your fellow Redditor way down south! https://imgur.com/a/Bcfs572
Here’s our milk and cookies for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer. https://imgur.com/a/bUdq3KG
Holly opening and playing with:
Skating Minnie, she’s so cute. Holly is already starting to mimic the song she sings. Thank you to u/somegingerchick. https://imgur.com/a/UaadgF9
Peppa pig clever car. When the car gets close to a wall or bumps into one, it turns itself around. Thank you to u/Careless-Act-5416. https://imgur.com/a/zoi02pv
Peppa pig sound book. Holly followed along with her finger to the words as the story was read. So cute. Thanks to u/Royal_tough_9927. https://imgur.com/a/X7CGbUh
Minnie Mouse book set. We love that the books stay organized in the box. Its magnetic and closes nicely. Thanks to u/kanga_roos. https://imgur.com/a/Dazu8CL
Peppa pig caravan. She started playing with it straight out the box. Very easy for her to open and enjoy. Thanks to u/Jonpitre. https://imgur.com/a/o6mtEEo
Bubble machine. Holly has loved bubbles since she was a baby. Now she can have bubbles whenever she wants without waiting on me( her old bubble blower lol.) She had a bubble blast! Thanks to u/Definition-pretend. https://imgur.com/a/prznLA1
Stocking from u/ohn035. Holly loves art so she will be putting those markers, crayons and colored pencils to good use! Thank you for the stocking, card, and extra goodies. https://imgur.com/a/L8QcJJO
Leggings and long sleeve shirts from u/rlaw68 and u/somegingerchick. Thank yall so much. These fit great with a little room to grow, so they will last a good while. She wouldn’t stand still long enough so I got some pics of her playing in her room. https://imgur.com/a/A8IFXji
Thanks to u/songlcy4058 for the Peppa pig Christmas jammies. You can see her wearing them here and in her other Christmas pics. They are so soft and cute! https://imgur.com/a/Q8ofNnM
The only thing I haven’t received was the lot of books from u/Cmartin2304. They have been sitting right here in the New Orleans distribution center since Dec 18. Im going to give it until Saturday and if I don’t receive it ill call and see whats going on. That was very sweet of you to gift your books to everyone. Thank you! Hopefully there’s no issue and they make it here. https://imgur.com/a/z0XcD9K
A big thank you again to everyone! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Hopefully Im in a better position next year so I can be a Santa too!
Edit: Here are some DIY gifts I made with things I had on hand. If Im able to be a Santa next year, I might do things like the photo candles, mini polaroid pics, and photo gems for contests/offers. https://imgur.com/a/U5KEish
