Christmas as a blended family

I have 3 dc with my full time (eow at their dad) and I have a sc who is with us eow (same weekend I have my kids).

How does everyone with a blended family do Xmas?
For my kids they have gifts from Santa at my house and gifts from their dad at his house.
Dh gets sc to write a letter to Santa here and tells sc Santa brings some gifts to his mums house and some to ours. He also has a stocking at his mums house and at ours.

Normally my kids are with their dad on Boxing Day which is when sc comes over but this year mine will be with us that day too.

My youngest still believes in Santa and I'm not sure what to do on Boxing Day. If she thinks sc has Santa visiting twice and her only once it seems a bit unfair.

I'm just wondering how other blended families do Xmas.
Thanks

Explain to your youngest that Santa makes different drop offs according to what parents ask him to do, so he drops all of hers off at your house, but half of the other child’s off at each parent’s house? It seems the simplest way to do it without having to change anything.

That is a genius idea! Thank you x
