Split Christmas

[cosmicbabe]

Morning

For those that share / split each Christmas between separated parent, does Santa come to both homes or alternate each year?

This is the first year we are alternating Christmas Day.

Thanks x

He comes to both houses for us as neither side wanted to miss out on that excitement even if it’s not on Christmas Day that the presents are opened. I know people where he only comes to the one where they spend Christmas Day and that works too for those families.

Mine are adults now but Santa only ever came here which is why the kids have always been with me on Christmas Day and went to ex dh on Boxing Day (at their choice).
In fact Santa still comes here even though they are now 22 and 17!

Both houses here!

We alternate who has DSD every year on Christmas Eve but Santa visits both houses and leaves gifts.

My DSis regrets doing Santa in both houses, but now she’s started it, it’s difficult to suddenly stop one year. She says her DD once asked “Why does Santa bring me more at Daddy’s house?” and a couple of times Santa has bought the same/similar item for each stocking. I wish I could hear her explaining that one to her DC!
