Christmas Eve boxes for kids - whatever next?!
Most parents, when they were children in the 1970s or 1980s, received little more than a Barbie doll, or maybe a bicycle, if they were lucky. Now, at Christmas, many of their own children receive a deluge of treats on top of their actual present: an Advent calendar filled with toys; the Elf on the Shelf leaving them messages; a stocking filled with gifts. The latest craze to add to this extravagance is Christmas Eve boxes. The idea is that children receive a container, larger than a shoe box, with items to get them ready for bed before the big day.
