Have you decked the halls and strung up the lights yet? Are you humming Santa Claus is coming to town…on loop through the day? Then there is no denying that Christmas is here and we are all swept up in the cheer of the season!
If we are so happy around Christmas, then we can only imagine how happy our kids are! Especially with the letters they write to Santa, and the jolly ol fellow bringing them everything they asked for! Who wouldn’t be happy? But this, year, I took a closer look at the letters to Santa my kids had written, when I was on my way out the door to buy ‘Santa’s’ gifts and saw they had asked for board games, video games, action heroes, and books. Everything looked fine, until you realised these were things you could use indoors and that meant a considerable cut in outdoor play.

Now any parent knows that if kids don’t get to play outdoors and expend energy, they tend not just to bounce off the walls when they are indoors, but also simply sitting and playing with their toys doesn’t guarantee all round development. Echoing my thoughts was this video I came across. Godrej plans to change the narrative and tell Santa to gift outdoor play this year! So why can’t we!
Watch this video below and if you are planning to head out and buy your kids Christmas gifts, make the right choice. Because kids need to play outdoors and even Santa can get behind that!
