When I was little, Santa brought our presents to our house on Christmas Eve but they were from specific people, such as mum and dad, gran et . In DH's family, the presents from parents were labelled 'from Santa'. We're not sure how we'll do it when A us older... I like the idea of knowing exactly who bought your gift so you can thank them, but kids think Santa's elves make toys, so surely it makes more sense they come from him....

We had some gifts from parents (which were left under the tree well before christmas) and Santa brought some presents (from Santa) that magically arrived after we went to bed on Christmas eve.

We had gifts from family and Santa. We had gifts from my mom and other family members under the tree before Christmas. Santa's gifts were put under the tree by my mom after we went to bed on Christmas Eve.
Santa brought the stuff we really wanted and my mom's gifts were things we needed like clothes, books, and shoes.

We had gifts from family and Santa, but Santa only brought the presents from himself - we knew the other gifts were placed under the tree by our parents. We'll definitely be signing some of the gifts we get our kids "from Santa". My mom used to use special wrapping paper and a glittery pen for Santa's gifts - it always felt so magical! I want to do the same for our kids.

We got one or two gifts from "Santa". We always knew that they were from mom and dad, though.

Yup some of the gifts were labelled "from Santa". My mom never disguised her handwriting so it was obvious!
This year she put one out from Santa for my LO

We had wrapped presents from family and unwrapped presents from Santa. The stuff from Santa was always set up after we went to bed and we knew that stuff was from him. Every once in a while, there was a wrapped present or two that were signed from Santa.

Santa brings all the gifts; but he's kind enough to pick up the gifts from grandma/grandpa, aunts, uncles, friends, etc. on his way! The ones from specific people are labeled with who they are from, and the ones from us are from Santa.
