What does Father Christmas do for you?

[RedRose]

When were kids, we would have our presents under the tree waiting for Christmas day, and then when we woke up our presents would be in the bedroom with a stocking and a few extra ones from Father Christmas.

He would also eat his mince pie and drink his beer

As we got older Father Christmas did less and less, until his final year when he merely separated our gifts from everyone else's and left them in a pile in the front room!

So what does Father Christmas do in your house?

How do Christmas lists work in your house? Like, will your LOs make a lists and do they think it is from Santa or from you? If it's from Santa, how do you get around the issue of being able to afford it? For example if they want a bike and an xbox and a golden pony, how do you let them know what Santa can afford to bring them?

But we write lists for father xmas and we post them! lol
We leave a key outside and he lets himself in, he drinks his "dr pepper" santa only likes dr pepper not warm milk yuk!, and eats his mince pie!

when i was little i used to leave notes for father xmas and make him little presents!
and he used to write back in a gift tag!!! that used to be more exciting to me then the gifts! lol
he also used to leave the tv on! lol oh and leave reindeer flying dust on the living room floor!!
