STAYING SANE
in the silly season There is a reason why Christmas is referred to as the Silly Season, and it’s not just because kids get hyped up on candy canes. It’s because Mama’s realise how much work is involved in making the perfect Christmas, and it makes us a bit delirious and in need of a lie down and glass of wine. Here’s my top four tips to surviving the silly season:
1. Write the mother of all lists:
you need to get organised now. Don’t like writing lists? Too bad: Santa writes his naughty/nice list each year, so if it’s good enough for him, it’s good enough for us. Think about the big ticket items: where (your place, in-law’s place, beach); what (lunch, dinner, BBQ); and who (friends, relatives).
2. Learn the brutal art of delegation:
What can you ask other people to bring? If Christmas is at your place, then you should do the major meat dish (chook, ham, terducken) but rello’s can bring everything else. Ask rich Aunty Mary to bring the prawns, and since Nanna has been making the pudding since 1932 it would be unfair to deny her the opportunity again this year. Don’t ask them what they’d like to make: if you’re hosting, tell them what you need them to bring. Be polite though.
3.Shop ONLINE for everything (at Mamadoo of course): The big question on everyone’s lips (or at least the kids) – is what presents will you buy? Gone are
the days of trudging around shopping centres for days to get your Christmas shopping done. Consider buying all your non-perishable groceries now. It will make it easier on your credit card as Christmas approaches. When online shopping was invented it was like Santa gave busy Mama’s of the world a joint gift. Here you go ladies, he was saying, make yourself a cuppa and sit down.
4. Be like a boot camp instructor, DO IT NOW: If you can tick something off your list today then do it. Do not wait until the last minute. The last minute will be needed for a quiet drink. The trick to buying Christmas gifts online is to do it early. There is no-one more unpopular than the person who hands over an IOU, and the dismal excuse their gift didn’t arrive in time. Buy now and allow yourself time to receive your goodies, wrap them up, and leave the weeks before Christmas free to concentrate on fun things like decorating gingerbread and cleaning the house before your mother-in-law visits. Of course what better place to start your shopping than Mamadoo with 75 stores and over 7,000 products all in one place. And because Mama’s need to support each other, we have a section just for you. Whether you need to give your family hints, or you actually have to buy your own gifts, you will find our Gift Guide for Mama’s full of suggestions for beautiful things you’ll be happy to unwrap. In the spirit of Christmas, Mamadoo is offering one lucky reader the chance to WIN A $250

NEWBORN GIFTS There are only two types of gifts for young babies: boring-but-practical and cute-but- useless. Still, one helps parents, and the other can make beautiful memories. Any gifts are really for the parents anyway, so just decide whether they want practical or pretty. Or both! Tiny babies are immobile and sleep a lot, but you can encourage them to move with bright patterned toys for grabbing, textured things to chew, and toys that make noise. Of course the level of noise depends how much you like the parents.

By six months you will have begun to figure out the personality of the little person in front of you. They are on the move and most likely walking, so it’s often a good idea to create an area for little people to explore and play safely. Gone are the days of being able to turn around for a minute and come back and your child still be in the same place. Nothing within four feet of the floor is safe anymore. Distract your child with toys that encourage motor skills and that respond to the child’s actions such as stacking blocks, shape sorters and push-andpull toys. And don’t forget bath-time and water play, especially with the hot Australian summer.

GIFTS FOR TODDERS 1-3 YRS Wow, where did my baby go and who is this opinionated little person in front of me? By the toddler years (a rather benign name that seeks to cover up the wanton destructiveness of this phase) your child no longer walks, they run. They no longer play, they destroy. And they are constantly, endlessly learning and exploring. Encourage the pure joy of this age with toys that foster the imagination (tea sets & tool sets), physical development & social play (musical instruments).

KIDS TOP 10 GIFTS By the time kids are getting ready for early schooling, they are old enough to tell you what they want for Christmas. If mine are anything to go by, they want everything they see on TV, so I imagine there’s going to be a degree of disappointment at our house on Christmas Day. By this age children are trying on the adult world through imaginary play and pretending to be doctors and teachers and astronauts and superheroes, so dress-ups, costumes and props are a great gift. It’s also a good time to start introducing simple board games (and if they happen to be educational, we can keep that to ourselves) and if in doubt, craft activities will always be a popular choice for this age group.

MUM TO BE Live it up ladies! Enjoy your last Christmas as the centre of attention because as soon as baby arrives all eyes will be on them. But you can also justify a relaxing Christmas, crying fatigue and swollen ankles. Take a comfy seat and let people bring you snacks. It won’t happen again for another forty years. Take advantage of the party season to buy a beautiful new maternity frock and don’t forget pamper packs and scented candles to help you relax in your final weeks. It’s also not too early to think about a nappy bag: you can use it to take everything to the hospital.

GIFTS FOR MUM I can’t tell you the number of years I sat and watched my family open box after box of beautifully wrapped Christmas gifts, and all I have in front of me is a single envelope with some scratch’n’wins. Ok, that’s not strictly true because I always make sure I have a few unexpected gifts with my name on it. Who cares if I bought them myself, at least I know I will love them and won’t have to plaster a fake smile to my lips. But you won’t have to fake anything with some of the gorgeous gifts here for Mama’s and it’s your reward for being awesome.
