3. Be as excited to see Santa as they are
When you are walking down the street and there's a bell-ringing Santa on the corner, your kids might notice if you just stroll on by without a single squeal of excitement. It'd be like a teen girl just moseying on past one of the guys from One Direction. So anytime you are in the presence of Santa, make like he's your celebrity crush and be just as giddy as your kids are to see him.
4. Assume they're always listening
You might think you have a moment alone to talk to Grandma on the phone about what gifts the kids still have unfulfilled on their lists, but they could very well be listening. Reserve any "real talk" for when you are out of the house. Otherwise, keep conversations in check.
