adorable quilt and I love the cute tradition, its great for the kids and family. My son started one, when his children were small, he took all their gifts from Santa and put them in a very large velvet Santa's bag. When the kids woke in the morning they didn't have anything from Santa so they looked around the house and then went outside and there it was on the roof, he told them Santa couldn't fit down the chimney and the door was locked so he couldn't get in. It was so cute, the kids kept the bag waiting for him the following year, and put it out with Santas cookies and milk.

Absolutely beautiful and whimiscal. I love it and your tradition. I personally use Christmas Bears for the same reason and one is always peeking out from the tree somewhere. My kids loved it and my grandchildren expect it.

I think a lot of people have a similar tradition. You know, we have to use anything we can to bribe the kids into being good at that time of year. I bought matching elves for the kids and I a year ago so we will all have at least one the same. And now we will each have a quilt too. :) By the way, any elf will do. If you have really naughty kids it's good to have a lot of elves. lol
