I am more than excited for the holiday season this year and honestly I have been counting down Payton’s third Christmas since the day she was born. I knew age three would bring excitement, wonder and believing in the magic of the season. Since her birthday is exactly one week before the holiday we have to do as much as we can to ensure both are equally celebrated. Now, we’re not huge on bribing our children but sometimes parents have to bring exciting things to get the kids to do what they want. Payton often gets bored with the idea of brushing her teeth and she tends to wake-up around 1 am and sneaks into our bed. We had the idea that bribing her with a Christmas tree in her room would get her to stay in there all night and getting her a few items like a new holiday tooth brush would build some excitement for our everyday routines. Since I had toe surgery last week, my Mom drove Payton and I to our local Walmart to pick-up some holiday items to start the season and our new routines off right!

As soon as we made our way down the main aisle we saw two large Colgate displays. I knew right away that the Dora the Explorer holiday pack would be great to place under her tree. I don’t know about your kids, but with Payton she gets easily turned off from her tooth brush and we find ourselves having to purchase new, fun designs with her favorite characters every month or so. Dora is one of her favorites right now as well as Sponge Bob so I knew that either one of the Colgate holiday packs would get her excited in the morning. The great thing about these holiday packs is that it includes the tooth brush and tooth paste for an all-in-one. If you have more than one child they sell the same holiday electronic spin-brushes without the toothpaste. For under $6 these would make for great stocking stuffers or as a Christmas Eve present paired with new pajamas and a holiday movie. This is a tradition I am looking forward to doing each year for both kids. 

We quickly made our way to the holiday section where we found the perfect white Christmas tree, mini princess ornaments and picked up the Dora and Sponge Bob holiday DVDs to get her into the spirit. I was also attending a spa party that evening so I found some great cranberry red nail polish and clay masks to bring. The trip was fun just to look around and see the excitement in Payton’s eyes. She especially loved looking at the inflatable Santa decorations. It’s crazy the amount of holiday decorations Walmart has! I could literally spend hours looking through everything, plus, I am slightly obsessed! 

The next morning I had the holiday tooth brush and tooth paste placed underneath her fully decorated tree. She was so excited! She ran straight into the bathroom and began showing me how the tooth brush worked, “up is on, down is off”. She loved that she had control over the spinning and could use it without as well. After a few minutes she declared that all the buggies were off her teeth. She gave me her best holiday smile and we set out to the family room to watch Dora’s Christmas Carol. It is safe to say that a huge smile was brought to her face that morning! To see the rest of our holiday shopping trip visit my Google+ album. 

If you’re looking for a simple, yet fun stocking stuffer idea or just something to get your children on board I highly recommend the Colgate Holiday Packs this season!
