What does Father Christmas bring?

Hello, sorry if this has been done before, I've scrolled through a lot.
My two DC's will be 4 & 2 by December so feel it's the first year we can really start thinking about what Christmas mornings will look like in our house.
I wanted to know what Santa brings, is it a stocking at the end of the bed and then a few under the tree etc? Growing up we didn't have Stockings & absolutely everything under the tree was from FC and not my parents. I know a lot of people want children to know some stuff does come from parents, so just curious what other families do?

Also as a side note if doing stockings in bedrooms, are these still little stocking fillers like hair bands etc? Or bigger toys that have been asked for?

OP I have agonized over this question for 5 years Grin

I've now decided that starting this year father Christmas fills the stocking, and presents under the tree are from family.

The caveat is that they will be good stockings. I don't personallt really see the point of saying the big man brings only the sticking and then filling that stocking with little things from Tesco that will be thrown away in a couple of days, so I've carefully curated a list of gifts that will be stocking gifts from here on out.

We leave the presents on the sofa and tell the children the ones we bought are mixed in the Father Christmas’s. It saved us on a few occasions incase one of the children spy a hidden gift in our wardrobe. The stockings are from a Father Christmas.
