My friend's mom told her when they went out of state for Christmas that Santa just knew where they were. Like he knows if you're naughty or nice and keeps an eye on you all the way up to Christmas Eve, he'll know you're at Grandma's house instead of at home. 🤷‍♀️

We have done it both way, one where Santa delivers the gifts home, and the other where he delivers to our location. It depends on what the request is too. One year, we got one of those huge ride on electric cars and there was no way to have it our destination. On Christmas, we used our video camera to show our son that it had been "delivered."

My son is all about the set up, so when he writes his letter to Santa on the away year, we specify where we would be in the letter. This way, Santa knows.

We have traveled for at least a week every year but one of having kids (we have always lived far from family). We always do Santa before we leave and just say that we wrote him a letter (or in recent years actually write it) saying when we are leaving and asking him to come early. They get a lot of grandparent gifts so we really need to split it up and no way I’m hauling it all back. But also, I really like having a Christmas Day that’s just for us so I protect it. Even if it’s the 21st, we do Santa, open other gifts to each other, make special food, and usually stay home and have family time.
