Our son will be 20 months at Christmas and before Christmas last year my wife and I had a chat about the whole Santa thing and we decided that we will give our son 1 gift from Santa, always something made from wood (because that's what they make in the workshop) and all other gifts will be from us or grandparents or whoever.
We decided to do this so that if we ever got into a situation where we can't afford to buy many gifts at Christmas we can tell him he wont be getting a lot because we haven't got the money. But we will always be able to afford something from Santa.
I've been told a few times that I am being unreasonable and all the gifts should be from Santa and we will be ruining his childhood etc.
I just don't want to be stuck one day panicking because he's written a list and I can't afford to get everything for Santa to deliver.
I'm not a grinch or anything (I've been called one) I am Christmas mad. My siblings call me Mrs Christmas
