DH and I both grew up all gifts were from Santa. We will probably do a family gift starting next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2394141 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 19:16:08 +0000 Finfan 2394141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing at our house! I don't think she realizes Santa brings presents. We've never mentioned him to her. She must have picked it up at school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2394127 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 18:57:52 +0000 MamaCate 2394127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I really like this way of framing it! Thanks! I think we will take a similar route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2394114 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 18:24:04 +0000 Charm54 2394114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year it's her stocking, her big gift (glitter glider castle and the magic clip dolls), and a few other little things ( slippers, Doctor kit, and a new book). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2394113 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 18:22:57 +0000 pwnstar 2394113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually one or two special gifts, and stockings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2394107 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 18:11:57 +0000 travelgirl1 2394107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We/family buy everything then send it all to Santa to check and deliver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2394082 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 17:35:51 +0000 Mrsk 2394082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, Stockings and one big gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2394050 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 17:00:34 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2394050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone dresses up as Santa here, so I don't even think she knows about the big guy :sad: The teachers at preschool have all dressed up as Santa and so she thinks it's just a costume. I didn't realize it would be so different here (we live abroad). But I'll fill her stockings anyway and say it's from Santa: chocolates, stickers, socks - small stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2394044 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 16:55:04 +0000 SwanSong 2394044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa brings one item from the Christmas wish list and his stocking, the remaining come from us (we also do the want, need, wear, read) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393976 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 16:14:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 2393976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is getting from Santa a couple of the items that were specifically on her Christmas list and that she told him she wanted when we met Santa:</p> <p>rings with jewels (set of Frozen rings)<br /> squishy Rarity My Little Pony </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393958 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 16:03:31 +0000 MrsRoo 2393958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her stocking and the 3 specific small things she asked Santa for when she met him. Everything else is from us!<br /> I'm with @regberadaisy: @MamaCate: re: getting credit for the big gifts! Those are definitely from mom and dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393880 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:27:50 +0000 Jess1483 2393880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One gift, stockings from Santa. Then want, need, learn, read from us. And then all.the.toys from my parents... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393854 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:17:16 +0000 yin 2393854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just something small from Santa. I don't want the kids to think that Santa brings big expensive gifts. We also take credit for stockings, but it's usually just small items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393830 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 15:04:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2393830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree, that we are focusing the season on a season of giving and mommy and daddy work hard so we can show her our love and give her gifts. But santa loves her too and will bring her something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393817 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:57:51 +0000 MrsKoala 2393817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently, DH wants everything to be from Santa? I'm used to only one gift from Santa. Last year, we didn't do any from Santa because he was too young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393798 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:49:02 +0000 Golden 2393798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stockng, the 2 things she specifically asked for, and usually one of the larger presents, like an art easel or plasma car. About 1/3 of the "haul". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393784 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:42:23 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2393784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the cheaper, less exciting stuff. Santa never brings a big gift. Those are always from Mom and Dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393775 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:36:25 +0000 MamaCate 2393775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yes! And I think that is what I can't decide either, thus the issue! :silly: </p> <p>I am leaning toward stockings being from Santa and one big gift. We are only getting LO a couple things so I think that should work fine. She is getting a ton from extended family and grandparents so it is not like there will be a lot of empty space under the tree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393761 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:30:57 +0000 mediagirl 2393761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa is giving her the new baby dolls and her new high chair. Santa gets to give the good stuff. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393758 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:29:59 +0000 LindsayLou 2393758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to do something similar to what my parents did. Santa will fill stockings and bring one special gift. I think receiving one gift from Santa helped me, as a kid, to be gracious and grateful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393727 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:10:55 +0000 californiadreams 2393727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when i was growing up, it was half and half, so that's what i've been doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393726 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:10:13 +0000 regberadaisy 2393726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: LOL I guess it depends on how into the Santa thing you are/want to be??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393724 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:09:11 +0000 MamaCate 2393724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: that is how I am feeling about the credit! But I can't decide if that is being silly or not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393718 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 14:07:36 +0000 LilSprinkles 2393718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything is from Santa (except from grandparents, and aunts and uncles) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393697 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 13:54:52 +0000 youboots 2393697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! Only the gifts grandparents get from Santa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393689 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 13:52:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 2393689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He specifically asked for an item when he visited Santa, so that's what Santa is bringing him. Everything else is from us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-from-santa#post-2393683 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 13:48:12 +0000 travellingbee 2393683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just sorted through the stuff and decided which things were odd shaped and those will go in Santas sack. :) he will open gifts from us on Christmas Eve and santa gifts in the morning. Plus stocking. </p>
