    10 is a fair number, but they have to keep the list within reason.

    We don't discuss an exact number. My kids know it's a "wish" list, so they can wish as much as they like.

    I let my kids watch Santa actually write his letter to them!

      I allow my child to write as much as she wants, but also have conversations with her about it. She's very aware that she CANNOT expect to get everything she wishes for, but should be happy if she even gets one, and that it's up to Santa to decide which one of her wishes to give her.
