Father Christmas kindly gives the stocking presents which he delivers unwrapped. Everything else is a gift from the person named on the gift tag.

Same here: FC delivers the stocking presents and all the other presents are labelled with who they're from.

SundaeGirl · 25/08/2012 19:09

He does stockings, we buy main presents. Everything else is from other people (with tags)

From previous years this topic has got quite heated.

orangepippin · 25/08/2012 19:10

FC delivers the stockings which contain unwrapped gifts and 1 large present under the tree in our house.

OvO · 25/08/2012 19:11

Santa brings the stocking and one other much wanted present. Everything else from us/family/friends.

PerfectStranger74 · 25/08/2012 19:12

He does the stockings and the main present, mum, dad and friends and relatives buy the other bits

Santa does stocking plus a pile of presents on the sofa per child.

Friends and relatives presents are from the named individuals and totally unrelated to santa stash. These are stored under the tree if received before christmas day.

And a main present from mum and dad.

NellyJob · 25/08/2012 21:56

yes Santy brings the stockings of course.

ReelAroundTheOrbit · 25/08/2012 22:01

Stockings only, opened first thing.

All other presents from the sender opened after lunch.

Santa brings everything! Not sure my kids would be good all year or even get majorly excited for a stocking Grin

I know many say well don't the kids think its strange you haven't got them anything but they genuinely don't notice -as a child my parents did the same and I never noticed!

I supposed if they asked I'd make something up but they never have and they're almost 7 and 5.

All other presents from sender.

EnjoyResponsibly · 25/08/2012 22:46

He brings everything.

In order to achieve this he takes over Toys R Us from October which means dc cannot go.

Meanwhile Daddy must go to work to pay FC.

Possible warping of child?

JaquelineHyde · 25/08/2012 22:50

He brings everything in this house and delivers presents from friends and family too.

vodkaanddietirnbru · 25/08/2012 22:51

Santa brings all the toys that we buy and presents from other people come from that person. We have to give the money to Santa though which is why you dont always get everything that is on your list

insanityscratching · 26/08/2012 06:48

Santa brings the stocking only here, it's very much wanted because Santa puts in things that Mummy won't buy because she thinks they are a waste of money or unsuitable.

tara0202 · 26/08/2012 06:57

Santa brings the stocking and a bunch of other presents. We (mum and dad) buy one biggish present labelled from us. All.other gifts received from others go under the tree labelled from them, before Christmas day.

tara0202 · 26/08/2012 06:59

Just out of.interest. do kids who get stocking only from Santa still write a letter to him? Just wondering what type of things they ask for that Woukd fit in.a stocking? Genuinely,.just wondering!

WhispersOfWickedness · 26/08/2012 07:10

Just stocking in this house. Ours are still under three, but I think when I was little, I used to write a letter to Father Christmas and thought that he would magically let my parents know what I wanted. I think I saw it in the same way as making a wish when blowing out birthday candles, it's all magic, doesn't really matter how it happens Smile

buzzgirly · 26/08/2012 07:33

Santa brings the stocking and the main present. Presestns from friends and family are put under the tree.

fivegomadindorset · 26/08/2012 07:34

Stocking only.

fivegomadindorset · 26/08/2012 07:35

tara they do write but then FC lets us know Wink

conorsrockers · 26/08/2012 07:51

We don't do stockings. FC brings a sack full of goodies which he leaves just by the fireplace next to the whisky and cookies.... it's always a collection of things for the boys to share (with a note about how great they are at sharing). Last year was Lego, year before that was musical instruments and before that, Brio trains ... they then get one present each under the tree from us and other little bits and pieces from family and friends (of which we have alot, hence why only one from us!!).

fuzzpig · 26/08/2012 08:01

Stocking and one main present from FC (for dh and me too - after all we've been very good as well!)

Everything else from us

StarryEyedMama · 26/08/2012 08:23

Father Christmas (can't stand the name Santa!) brings a stocking and all the other presents are from us, friends and family. This year I'm only buying for the children (including nephew and nieces) and DP - rest of the presents will be homemade (hopefully!)

vodkaanddietirnbru · 26/08/2012 08:27

It's always been Santa here rather than Father Christmas (lots of regional variations - I am in Scotland)

olibeansmummy · 26/08/2012 08:56

Santa brings ds's stocking and a bunch of presents. We buy ds 1 big present and other people's presents are from them of course.
