Sarah - you sound like you have the same attitude as me with this one. I feel that santa brings little nifty things, and mum and dad give you the proper presents.
Shane is the opposite. He used to have santa sacks with his kids, and pile all sorts of stuff in there. Luckily for me - Shane had this with his other kids, and so I get the say this time around
Jenna is getting some musical instruments, probably a couple of books, some lollies maybe? I might get her a cup, and maybe a couple of smaller toys, possibly some more Schleich animals cause she loves them. Probably an apple, and we always got 50c right at the bottom of the sock.
My parents always spent about $40 I spose on stockings, and then we got about $100-$150 worth of proper presents.
We were allowed to open our stockings as soon as we woke up Christmas morning, but then no presents until after breakfast, and they were opened as a family.

I love Christmas And by the way.... we still get Santa stockings.....
