We have a Little People Nativity set that is a favorite toy year after year--Lucy and Ella were so excited to set up the town of Bethlehem on their train table without any help from Mommy and Daddy. Also brought out each year is a play Christmas tree, Santa hats, Christmas stuffed animals, play stockings and gift bags, and some Christmas pillows--all the necessary props to play Santa. We put reins on anything that resembles a reindeer and one girl is Santa bringing toys to her sister, who is sleeping and then wakes up to find her gifts under the tree. She opens her presents and then they switch roles. Whoever is Santa usually recites the "On Dasher, on Dancer..." portion of The Night Before Christmas, only it is slightly altered each time, providing plenty of entertainment for the grown-ups within hearing range. Love it!
