This isn't a big deal and I feel like it doesn't even deserve a thread of its own but I'm seriously doubting myself and I'd love other people's opinions
We're doing secret santa with family members for the first time this year (they always done it but now we're joining in). All was good, £50 budget and me and DH have picked out our gifts. We presumed we just dropped off the gifts on Christmas Eve or whenever suits but apparently not. Last night I found out that we all have to be there to open presents together. That doesn't start until earliest 9. But our toddler goes to bed a lot earlier than that and we also need to make his santy present once he goes to bed. DN is particular about all this as she organises it and insists it's tradition everyone is there to open presents together.
I don't want to come across as a grinch but it just doesn't suit. DS goes to bed early and I like him to stay in a routine. We need to make his santa present and also, I'd like to make traditions as a family of our own that evening.
