Mummy [in bedroom doorway, blowing 5 kisses to each child, then]: " OK, Winton. Say goodnight."
Winton: "Merry Christmas, Bunny Love, Cat Love, Dog Love, Turkey Love, I love you miss you Mummy."
Mummy: "Merry Christmas, Bunny Love, Cat Love, Dog Love, Turkey Love, I love you miss you Winton. Your turn, Clara."
Clara: "See you later alligator, after a while crocodile, happy Santa, Merry Christmas, Bunny Love, Cat Love, Dog Love, Turkey Love, I love you miss you Mummy."
Mummy: "See you later, alligator, after a while crocodile, happy Santa, Merry Christmas, Bunny Love, Cat Love, Dog Love, Turkey Love, I love you miss you too Clara. Ok, now goodnight everyone. Be quiet. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. See you in the morning. Love you."
Ritual performed exactly this way for 6+ months, possibly even a year. Hmm.
