So Friday I put up the fireplace decoration as was feeling down. (So far) ds has not touched them as I told him that they are from santa and if he touches them santa wont come and there will be no presents

How does everyone else do presents? We do one gift from santa, the stocking from santa and santa also brings everything from us and also from his relatives abroad. It works for us.
Personally we dont get the (everything from santa) because I know children that then start saying well santa brings presents, family brings presents but our parents get us nothing
Hoping this way to keep santa alive for that little bit longer

Today a present for us adults is arriving!! A new laptop!!! Both our laptops broke and we havent had one for at least 6months now so our gift to us is the laptop

 

[motherofboys]

We do family presents from family (i know some people have santa deliver those but the kids see them being handed to us. If they were coming from abroad though I think your way is great because it's like santa has picked them up on the way through ha ha) then we buy them a couple of small presents each. We can't buy lots because toys are expensive 😉 then everything else, including the stocking, is from santa.
Ds1 was promoted to Santa's helper 2 Christmases ago, and I think it may be the last year before ds2 gets his promotion.

Ahhh that sounds so cute, how do they become santas little helpers? Do they get special jobs to do?

 

[motherofboys]

Well the other year ds1 was having a big debate with dh about Santa's existence in front of the little kids so I called him down and told him how he was right, but santa is more of a concept. He does exist, in that warm feeling you get when you pick the perfect present you know is going to make someone happy, and he exists in the heart of every child who believes in magic, and now that he was big enough to realise that I buy the presents it didn't mean the magic was over, just that he got to be part of making the magic. He got to choose a small present for each of the others to wrap up and leave on their bed with the tag saying "from Santa's helper." He gets to help with things that would usually be secret. He also has to "forget to brush his teeth" and come back down stairs to do them and eat Santa's mince pie ha ha. He's done really well not giving it away to the others, even when he is really angry with them.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Aww that's lovely

 

[wtbmummy]

Mother of boys thats so lovely!!!

 

[wtbmummy]

The final present has just arrived!!!

He may not have the huge pile of presents that some kids get but he's going to have more than he asked for and will finally have the pawpatrol things hes wanted since the spring! I cannot wait to see his lil face on christmas morning

 

[Bevziibubble]

[motherofboys]

Yay, it's so satisfying knowing you have got something they have wanted for ages.
