Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year, or at least that's what we tell the kids. And why stop now, as we head into to festive season it's only right that we get ahead of what truly makes Christmas so special, and that's making your children's wishes come true. While we don't have magic wands to give the kids everything off their Christmas list, we do have something that can help you shift the blame when under the trees looking a bit sparse.
