My son in theory gets presents from my sister, however sometimes that means he doesn't receive them until the following Easter/Late summer which she refuses to understand doesn't count as the previous Christmas to a small child.
Other years, he gets a gift voucher or she puts some money in my account.
My parents always just put money in my account, but that depended on what mood my mother was in so could be not enough to buy an annual one year or enough for something really big another.
Essentially, the only reliable presents he ever gets are from me.
What he remembers about all the Christmases though, isn't really the presents.
It's the decorating the tree together with the baubles he remembers we got when he was however old, or Scary Bear, our broken teddy who is supposed to read "The night before Christmas" but actually now shrieks & squeaks so loudly after his joints seized up one year, that you can't hear a word & have to shout to be heard while he's 'telling the story', or decorating the cake together & our Christmas Hot Chocolate with squirty cream, marshmallows & sprinkles etc..
I have been forbidden to attempt to fix Scary Bear & we now listen to him every Christmas Eve as he squeaks through the length of the story.
It's the whole thing you do around Christmas, the little traditions that they have year upon year with you, that are special to you, that mean more to a child than the actual presents as long as there is something under the tree or in a stocking.
It's quality of Christmas together, not quantity of presents that they remember most.
The tinsel, sparkly lights & snuggling up to watch a Christmas film mean more than another box with wrapping paper on to open & a room full of ripped paper.
