Dear Santa, you might not get a checklist from Jenna Bush Hager’s young ones this year.
Ahead of celebrating Christmas with her husband Henry Hager and their three children Mila, 9, Poppy, 7, and Hal, 3, the Today show co-host hopes to maintain the enjoyable less than the tree to a manageable stage.
“I am a lot more into ordeals,” Hager told Hoda Kotb on the Dec. 22 episode of Right now. “I like the enjoyment trip or concert or regardless of what it is.”
1 experience this relatives are not able to say no to is checking out Santa. But when discussing the subject matter of disappointment about the vacations, Hager formulated a rule that might be effective to other mom and dad.

“It really is all about expectation,” she stated. “We got to go see Santa and sit on his lap and see Mrs. Clause and Henry said, ‘Should the kids write a checklist?’ and I’m like, ‘No, due to the fact I will not want them to consider that Santa is absolutely heading to convey all 10 provides.'”
Kotb agreed when she shared the sensible assistance a father or mother once advised her. “She claimed, ‘Part of our work as dad and mom is making ready our little ones for disappointment,'” Kotb recalled. “I come to feel like we’re all fixes.”
Christmas lists or not, there is one particular current Hager has in head for her oldest little one.
“I imagine we are going to be adopting a very little kitten,” she teased. “Don’t inform. Mila needs to name her Hollywood Hager and connect with her Holly.”
“She’s all set,” Hager added. “She desires that accountability. She just are not able to wait around.”
