You Say: What Your Kids Want for Christmas
The days and weeks leading up to Christmas are filled with media coverage about the top toys and gifts of the season. While we love to hear from experts, we know that they have nothing on Vancouver moms. After all, we’re the ones who live with – and play with – our kids each and every day of the year. That’s why we decided to turn to you for our latest You Say feature to find out what the top toys are around your tree this year. On our website, on Twitter and on Facebook we asked you to tell us what your kids want most this Christmas. You came through.
Whether you’re curious to see what Vancouver kids are asking for this year, you want to see how your kids’ wish lists stack up, or you’re looking for last minute gift ideas, read on to find out what you say about the hottest gifts of the season.

Ashley Cau‘s list is a little longer. “Monster High dolls (especially boys, which are impossible to find), Frozen stuff and a Disney Infinity game.”
Ivana Gelo is on the hunt for, “Lego Friends.”
Angela Baxter Santoro says her, “Three year old wants a sitting white bear. After some recon, I figured out this is a small stuffed white bear that sits on the shelf at daycare to watch over the kids. I’m happy to discover this gift won’t cost us a fortune!!” We hear you, Angela!
Andrea Firmani says her two-year-old wants, “A dolly, chocolate, a necklace, playdough.” Her five-year-old’s list contains just one thing: “Ninjago.”
Jodi Statham‘s little one is hoping Santa will bring, “Thomas King of the Railway tracks.”
Our own Amber Krause Strocel shares, “My five-year-old changes his mind every day, but he keeps coming back to a Seat Pet and Lego. My eight-year-old wants a Maplelea doll, which is like a Canadian twist on American girl, and a Rainbow Loom.”
Liz Sopwith says her seven-year-old is into, “Skylanders Swap Force,” and her nine-year-old is making a big request: “iPad!”
