Should I sit with them?

Plan to sit with them at least until 5. After that, many families can watch with a grown-up nearby rather than on the couch. The notes above say what happens. You know your child. This is not medical advice.

Shaun and Timmy sneak into the Farmer's house for socks to use as stockings. They freeze and pretend to be presents when the Farmer, dressed as Santa, comes downstairs. Comic hide-and-seek, not a break-in scare.

Theme. Kids often notice 'we are not supposed to be in here' even when the joke is the Farmer not noticing.

What to say. You might say: 'They want bigger stockings, and they are being silly in the house. The Farmer has not spotted them.'
