Santa bring the fantasy gift. I go with the view that Santa brings one thing and that's it, he has a lot of kids to think about. My son is accepting of that.

Santa brings whatever she specifically asks for from him, plus the stocking. Everything else is from us and other family members.
Growing up though, everything under the tree was from Santa for both DH and I. So I'm not sure why we separate the gifts for our kids? Lol- it just happened somehow. -
Since I'm Jewish (married to a non-Jew) I didn't have childhood experiences of Santa to draw from. My husband's gifts would all come from Santa, except for the ones from his aunts and uncle and grandparents. I agree that it's strange that family members would give gifts if all the gifts are supposed to come from Santa, so for now we've decided that all presents (for both Christmas and Chanukah) will come from mom and dad and family members and just the stockings will come from Santa.

I grew up with everything was Santa. Hubby got some from Santa and some from his parents. We have decided one or two from us, and rest from Santa. Santa will get the things he asked for.

@Pollywog: That's our plan too, for the same reason. DD is getting one gift from Santa this year, although she's still at the point where she doesn't really understand it anyway. My sister is the one who first made me think about it. I had never thought about how kids with less might feel terrible hearing that Santa brought other kids much more.
