As for what this magical, mystical trick is? Take a picture of it.
She advised parents to pause, comment on whatever their child is pointing out, and not say 'Let's take a picture with it and send it to Santa so he knows you want it.'
She then said that while she pretends to send the photos to St. Nick, they go to her daughter's relatives instead.
Kristina explained that when she does this with her daughter, the little girl smiles, says cheese, asks to see the picture - and then puts the toy down and walks away.
"Maybe you’ve been doing this for ages, and you selfishly didn’t share this tip with me...or maybe you’re like me and this is about to rock your world. For real, try it friends. You’re welcome."
Kristina's post has been shared more than 54,000 times, with parents flooding the comments to praise the idea.
"Totally awesome idea. Plus it lets grandma or whoever, know exactly what they want and where you saw it," one person said.
"Why are we not doing this?!" another person added.
