While Christmas is supposed to be a time for winding down, you know, the crops are safely stored, the pigs are still too young to be ham, and nothing is growing outside but snowbanks, we all know it is not quite how it goes these days. These days, it’s long preparations, the gift hunt, the office parties, the visiting your relatives in different parts of the country (especially fun if you are Chilean and your relatives are at the farthest end from you), and throbbing headaches from the cacophony of various Jingle Bells renditions. Double the luck if you have little kids. Sure, they do genuinely make Christmas-time so much more magical - their wide-eyed naivete, their belief in Santa, and all the Christmasy macaroni crafts are the truest reflections of all that Christmas is about. But, kids and Christmas also mean the dreaded letter to Santa with a comprehensive list of desired presents. It’s cool if your spawns are politically correct at their very young age and ask for peace and love, but you might also find their desires tally up to a grand. Oh, and of course, their wishes are often for some very rare and unique device that you can only import from the vaults of the Vatican maybe. However, if you’re in luck, and your kid doesn’t have these very exquisite expectations, but you still want Santa to surprise them, we are lending you a helping hand with this list of the hottest Christmas toys of 2021.
