We grew up with people who had a large family so there were LOADS of relatives which, if everyone was in one house, could mean one very large and hectic Christmas. So the idea was the present we opened on Christmas Eve was not from Santa. I think possibly a relative may have had a birthday on the 23rd or 24th December, and then my sister's was the 29th, so I guess it was mostly done to stop the rest of us being jealous?!

Everyone has their own traditions

I've never heard of relatives sending gifts to Santa, they always brought them for us and we thanked them. I'll be doing the same with Lucas, so he'd only be confused again if his friends did something similar to your family. Everyone does something different at Christmas and it's magical in its own way, I'd like to think the kids are too excited and happy with their gifts to demand to know how Santa managed to fit them into his hectic schedule.

I love the sound of a Christmas Eve pack, we always got our PJs to open and another gift (usually from a relative we never saw like someone else said

). I can just see my pack from Santa now - a roll of paper, a reel of tape and a few Pro Plus

I think it's a nice idea for me to do for my son. Might make him up a little goodie bag with a book/reindeer dust/snowman soup x
