    Help bring Christmas cheer for my three deers 🦌🦌🦌 🎅🏻🎄🤶🏻

    Merry Christmas!

    In a nutshell, just three weeks after my nine-week LOA for knee surgery on 11/26, I dove straight into a 12-week LOA for foot and ankle surgery! Pro tip: steer clear of dump trucks—one star, would not recommend! 😅😂

    I’d be super grateful for any help to make sure the 3 kiddos have a merry Christmas while I'm off work and waddling around.

    Thanks a million for considering our family! 🫶🏻

    Christmas Tradition

    What’s everyone’s favorite Christmas tradition? Mine was taking the kids to Bass Pro shop to get pictures with Santa and driving around to look at Christmas lights! It’s not happening this year because we don’t have a car anymore ( transmission went out last February) so now I need to come up with a new tradition!

    Contest for Moms and Girls: Menstrual Cup

    A bit of an odd contest, I know, but I’d like to purchase a few menstrual cups for any moms or kids on here who may benefit from one.

    For what it’s worth, I switched over from tampons a few years ago and am shocked at how easy it is and am so glad to never have to spend money on tampons and pads again!

    I will be purchasing the EcoBlossom brand on Amazon.

    I will randomly select three winners, the contest will close no later (but possibly sooner) than 11:50 PM EST 12/3/24.

    To enter, you must be registered for gifts and/or contests on this subreddit, be an active Reddit user in non-assistance based subreddits and be located in the US.

    To enter, simply comment if you’re entering for yourself or your child (if you have multiple children who could use this, you can enter all of them).

    ***I’ve spoken with the mods and confirmed that this won’t be counted towards the 2 contest rule :).

    **The requirement that you must have a history of being active on Reddit outside of non-assistance based groups is something I will hold to, nothing personal, but please don’t enter if you only use your account to request assistance - I’m looking to support fellow Redditers :) and even if you don’t feel like you can financially give to people at this time in your life, the great thing about Reddit is that your knowledge, no matter how niche, could be of use to someone on here and help them out! There are forums for parenting, crafts, cooking, most TV shows, your home state and maybe even city! There’s a lot of space to contribute, answer questions and help people out for just a few minutes of your day.

    U/germinerva I have to thank you again for the art set canvases! That is the neatest art set I’ve seen! I didn’t know they made the pre-drawn canvases like that!! So cool! My daughter was just absolutely blown away by it. I was going to wait until this weekend to get into the art-ting lol, but we couldn’t wait lol. 😂 Your gift was such a wonderful surprise today, it really put a smile on my face. I can not express to you how much it meant, thank you for your generosity. You made my girls smile today! :)

    Gifts are wrapped

    I want to say a big thank you to u/bookserpent, u/Geminerva, and u/chmod_007. All gifts have arrived except for one. Which should be here anytime now. My daughter has sensory issues with wrapping paper so I have chosen to put her gifts in bags to avoid the meltdowns from having to unwrap to many things in the past. I can't wait to share the pictures with you all on Christmas https://imgur.com/a/qEFTj9T

    Hello,

    Happy Holidays !!! I am a single mother to the most amazing little girl. I want to give her a Christmas to remember and keep the magic alive! I am a full-time student working part-time, so I have limitations on what I can afford this holiday season. I am here to seek help with my daughter's Christmas wishes. My only hope is that she has a great Christmas.

    Sawyer: https://www.redditsantas.com/img/photos/20241203202509_IMG_4675.jpeg

    Sawyer is 7 years old. She is incredibly compassionate and sweet. Her favorite things are playing with her baby dolls and dress-up. She loves to read, draw, and do arts and crafts. She is a fantastic kid.

    To all of the Santas, thank you so much for reviewing our post. We appreciate everything you are doing for this community. You are all so incredibly kind!

    ****REPOST**** Dear Santa, for my two boy elfs (ages 7 mo & 9 yrs) 🙏🏻 REQUEST 🙏🏻

    ****UPDATES***

    We are very new here and we haven't received any gifts.

    My baby Elf is no longer stuck in reverse and he has a new tooth!!

    My baby elf Chosen is 7 months old and has two teeth. If he can't put it in his mouth just count this baby out. He is also stuck crawling backwards. He is a very picky eater and doesn't trust me ever since I snuck him some blueberries.

    https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/23ULSLXUUEI46?ref_=list_d_wl_lfu_nav_2

    My worker elf Calvin is 9 years old. He loves being a big brother outside of the crying. He loves video games but I work extra hard to limit the game time and keep him busy and the lego sets really help him with that. Lego sets are his favorite because he gains a satisfaction after completion, its his challenging level and it takes up a lot of time.

    I’m a single mom of 3 beautiful children ages 7,4 and 1. I’ve taken up extra shifts to be able to have a better and magical Christmas for them but circumstances of life things got a little harder for this year and I’m needing some extra help! My oldest boy is the sweetest most intelligent 7 year old and is such a good big brother. My middle child is the spark and funk, loving most beautiful little girl my little artist and most girly girl. And my baby is just all smiles, adventure, dancing jumping bean and loves playing with her older siblings! Any and all help for my little one would be greatly appreciated Many blessings to all and very happy holidays!
