DS 10 has asked for £100 in his Go Henry account from Father Christmas

[TheLovelinessOfBaublyDemons]

Can I change the name of who it's from when I transfer it?

Santa can't do bank transfers, he can deliver physical things inc cash but not bank transfers.

I'm another who suspects he knows or is 'testing' Santa. Sounds quite sad actually for a 10yo to really just want money.
I know it's difficult if they are starting to outgrow toys and lots of stuff (CDs, DVDs, computer games) have gone electronic.
But it would be a no from me unless I knew what he was saving for.

Honestly I think every household does Santa differently and there is no right or wrong . My mum always told me that you had to pay Santa for gifts and he delivers them and I do this with my own children. If you can afford £100 and he wants to get this as his Christmas present then work away. However at 10 if he asked for cash I wouldn't be making a song and dance routine about how it got there . I'd put two fifties in his stocking or something like that

Be aware that this will also change your nickname on any payments you’ve given him previously.

This thread is ridiculous, btw. OP has asked a simple practical question and received in return a load of patronising balls about the “right” way to do Father Christmas. Different families do things differently. Glad that the OP seems to be ignoring the nonsense

'Santa can't do bank transfers, he can deliver physical things inc cash but not bank transfers.'

He can do anything he likes I suppose given that he doesn't actually exist.

some years ago when the children in the family were more becoming more savvy, we bought a small tree, decorated it, then wrapped coins, folded notes etc as pressies and attached them to the tree - with a poem about 'money really does grow on some kind of special trees but they only bear 'fruit' every now and then' I'm not sure the message really got through though.
