Who gives the presents in your house?

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.

Santa gives all the xmas pressies here, more magical

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).

We share the glory in our house - some from us and some from Santa Claus. And we also open one present at a time - it makes the morning last longer and extends the fun. We open Santa Presents in the morning, and then we open presents from mums dads, brothers, sisters etc. after lunch.

For us it was always some stuff form santa some stuff from mum and dad. I dont remember if it was bigger/ better stuff from mum and dad or not. too long ago. lol.

My dad's side always said they "sent" the presents they bought to santa so that he could bring them all together. It never made sense to me but then grown ups do some odd stuff sometimes, so I didnt really question it.

All the presents here are from Santa. I don't need to take credit for them, the smiles on their faces is credit enough. They're only small for a short time and once htey no longer believe they realise who all the previous presents were from anyway.

I can't actually recall what it was when I was little...

But here, Santa brings a couple of things and the rest are from Mummy and Daddy. All the presents that arrive from interstate or are given by friends are put away until Christmas Day and they are all put under the tree together. Usually I whisk them away before DD sees them and she is young enough to not question any of it yet. When she is older, the presents sent via mail or from friends etc will go under the tree as they arrive and wait until Christmas Day.

all the presents here are from Santa too. Exactly like Tinks said - the magic for them is enough. I couldn't care less about getting credit.
I never got pressies from mum and dad either and I never thought to question it.

They each have a sack at the end of their beds and Santa fills that.. Then there is presents under the tree from Me and from others who send them gifts/ friends etc/family.
