After I wrapped everything, I realized my LOs have 5 presents each from Santa. Is that to much from the man that is supposed, "to deliver presents to every little boy and girl?"
How many presents are your LOs receiving from Santa?
We have 2 "exciting" gifts from santa for each child (set up and not wrapped), and of course little things in their stockings.. the rest is from us and we open that on Christmas Eve..
I am afraid to count how many presents DS is getting from Santa this year. We (me and 4 siblings) always got a huge pile from Santa on Christmas morning....so will my children:)

Santa is the only one who gives gifts in our house. I grew up with Santa being the only one giving us gifts so thats what im doing with my dd again this year. I know my parents are helping me buy gifts this year, so she will have alot of "Santa gifts".
But if anyone wants to buy for anyone else they do, I know my sister bought my parents each a gift and one for my dd and one I guess for me (or so my dd says).
I made it past my goal I nursed for 1 year and 6 weeks! Im so proud of myself!
We are going to do one great gift from Santa and the rest of the more realistic gifts will come from us. We may switch it up next year. In all honesty, I think this year she thinks that everything is from Santa.

When I was little we always got one big gift from Santa plus stocking stuffers... So that's what we're doing with the girls this year. One big gift each and then stuffers. I know when they get a bit older DH wants to add some of his traditions that they are too young for so it might change then.
Growing up myself and the way FI and I plan to do things with Little Man, Santa only filled stockings, and those are little toys, candies, "cheep" things... the Presents under the tree come from us (and grandparents, etc). To be honest-it is a preventative thing. FI is a teacher, I am a SAHM. We can only afford so much for Little Man.... I'd like him growing up asking for reasonable things that he knows we can provide. I would hate for him to grow up and think that "Mommy and Daddy can't afford that "expensive huge gift" that I want, but Santa can....

DS is getting all of the presents from Santa.
DH and I went out yesterday and bought "our" gifts together. We are not wrapping them.
Santa is leaving one gift for dd. It's unwrapped this year; not sure if we'll wrap them as she gets older.
