So, DH says that FC brings all presents. Even those from family and friends. I am a bit about this, as family and friends get no thanks. (well, they do, from us, of course, but that's not the same imo)
I think that FC brings the stocking and some presents, but that family and friends give presents too.
His argument, and I do get it, is that it doesn't make sense to a 5 year old that FC would bring some presents off the list, but that we and GPs get others. Also, FC leaves the non-stocking presents under the tree. How could family leave them there too?
(I really like coming down on Christmas morning to a tree with presents underneath, when there were none there the night before)
But I want DCs to show appreciation for the presents they get and say thank you, not so much to me and DH, but to others.
So, what does FC get in your house? And how do you explain to your DC why he brings some and you buy others?
I should say, DH is convinced that DD (5) will think about it too much and start to doubt FC's existence. Which would be sad, for us.
I think this is the final year we have the chance to 'change' the FC tradition... DD will question why FC has changed what he does next year!
