Who gives the presents in your house?

[Muppity]

We always got something from Mum and Dad. Generally Mum and Dad would give us the bigger present and Santa would give us something smaller. Santa also always gave us a book but the inscription always said it was from Mum and Dad - but I never knew that at the time - I suppose that in the Christmas rush you don't read the inscriptions in books (once you could read Mum's scrawl anyway!)

Most are from Santa in our house, but one each from mum & dad. This year the big one, cubby house & accessories, are coming from mum & dad because I want the credit

Santa gives our kids presents.....while their little its so nice to see the happiness and magic innocense gives

As they have gotten older and closer to the transition, we have introduced one personal item from us so that it wont hurt as much when the truth is learnt

Some from us and some from Santa. When I grew up it was the same.

Santa is stingy in our house. I like to get the credit so the good big presents come from mum and Dad and when they are older and Santa wont come to them it wont hurt as much. They get a santa sack from Santa with several smaller things in it (including a little stocking you get with chocolate or lollies in it) just need to watch it doesn't have Target or Big W or IGA imprinted into the cardboard. One of mine is old enough to question that.

In our house (we have 4 kids) Santa brings 'something' for everyone to share - last year it was a trampoline, this year it will be an inflatable pool & slip'n slide. Plus he fills their stockings with lots of little personal things for each kid - hair ties, matchbox cars, diaries, pens, lollies etc. And then everything under the tree is from us, (or relatives). Rather than big, expensive presents, we love to give them lots of little things, all individually wrapped. This is because we LOVE to have a mountain of wrapping paper in the lounge room on christmas morning!!

Also, we have a 'one present at a time' thing. Each of our children LOVES to sit and watch their siblings open their own presents. None of this "everyone in at the same time" type thing!! I rather they sit and appreciate each and every thing, as well as discussing who gave it to them etc. (if it's something grandma sent, etc).
