[Mimi]

I have just made two free Santa emails for my youngest GS's

Hope this link works , if not just type PNP in your webb browser. You can make free videos Children or adults and there is an option to upgrade for about £6 I think

Mimi,thank you. I have done those for my 2 eldest grandchildren before, but haven't actually done them this year. I think Oma first told me about them.
I think they are lovely, and the look on the child's face when watching their video is priceless
I have GS1 here all day on Monday. I may do one to watch with him then.

[Oma]

Yes it was me Gem our boys always loved them I did one for the little one last year and GS2 but GS1 is too old now sadly 😕

[Nanto2girls]

It's a lovely idea Mimi, but like Oma, our grandchildren are too old.

[Libra Gran]

I used to do them for the girls but apart from T they aren't convinced especially as santa has an American accent and called Menna Meena.

[Daisy]

It's lovely. I did it for GD1 for 3 years, and will do it this year for GD2 if I get a chance.

LG - I bet Menna wasn't too pleased that Santa couldn't pronounce her name properly.

[Gemini]

I'm tempted to make one which says unless GS1shares with friends and stops being bossy and unpleasant to friends and especially his cousin, Santa will not be coming!!!

[Daisy]

I've only just seen that, Gem! It takes time to learn to share and not be bossy.

GD1 has a 'best friend' at school. She homed in on GD1 on the first day, and spent most of the first year bossing GD1 around and being quite horrible to her at times. It didn't seem to bother GD1 much - we grown ups were more worried. But now the friend has learned to be proper friend. She went from being bossy and a bit mean, to showering GD with little gifts, notes etc, and finally has found a happy medium. They enjoy each other's friendship, but GD certainly also has two or three other good friends and little Miss Bossy has accepted that. Learning about friendship is a complicated business and each child has to find their own way through it. Your GS is making his own path in the world and he will get there. Does he see his big cousin as more of a sister?

[Gemini]

He is a beast. Lovely but a beast! The world definitely revolves around him. He is learning, and in his head he knows, that others share with him therefore he should share, but when it comes to it he wants no child to touch anything of his! He is bossy too and makes his cousin, 3 years older play just what he wants. We are trying to teach her that she doesn't have to do what he tells her, just because he is younger! They are such polar opposites in personality, so it's difficult. She wants to help and please others - he wants it all his way! I suppose he does see her as a sister Daisy. We think he sees her as a small adult to play with rather than a child! I'm sure he will improve as time goes on.


I did send him the PNP video and it did mention sharing with other children. Santa did put him on the Nice list though

[Daisy]

Your GD sounds very much like my GD1, Gem. When we concerned about her friend's bossiness she just said she didn't mind and was happy to go along with what the other girl wanted!

I'm so glad that GS1 made it onto Santa's Nice List, though, and he will learn that there are pleasures in sharing.

A rather touching moment was when GS was watching his video, Santa showed a picture of him with his cousin and said, 'E, you are so lucky to have so many people who love you.' GS beamed and replied 'Yes, I am!!'

I tried to do this this year, but everytime I went to send it to my email it was asking for payment, so give up, would have been good for G, he's a beast but lovely with it too Gem.... went to the "smiggle" shop as E decided she wanted a pencil case, £18 without pencils, said we would have to see what Santa brought, the only thing she really really wanted so I got it, went back for it when she wasn't there, G had spotted a few things, but he wanted the "stuff" right there and then and when I said to him wait to see what Santa brings, he had a right good old tantrum in the shop to where he nearly cleared the shelf throwing himself all over, shouting how much he didn't want it off santa, didn't like santa and wanted me to get him it, he was "quietly" led out the shop with everyone looking at us, DD totally embarrassed, then comes Christmas morning, he comes down stairs, absolutely amazed at the pressies asks DD if they are for him, his reaction was he loves santa....she sent me a picture of his angelic little beaming face Christmas morning, butter wouldn't melt....good job we loves him....
