@lilteacherbee: Its much easier for me to have them all be from Santa that way I don't need to remember which gift was from me and which was from him and who gives better gifts, me or santa? to much pressure - LOL
So everything is from Santa!
-
@lilteacherbee: we are doing 1-2 from us and the rest is from Santa.
-
@lilteacherbee: We haven't started giving gifts from Santa yet, but when we do, we'll also give gifts from us. Santa doesn't usually give clothes or other "needed" items in our household.

@lilteacherbee: This is the first year we're going to do a gift from Santa, at age 4.

I was thinking of doing the want, need, wear, read thing (I did that last year but actually only ended up getting her read and need lol), but I don't think the categories really work for us. I got her a sticker book, board book, and a doll so far and plan on getting one other thing if I can find something else, but I tend to just use clothes right away haha. My mom will buy her lots of gifts, so I wanted to keep it minimal from us.

@Ra: I feel the same way. My parents always went nuts on me. Like 30+ presents, and I'm not a spoiled or ungrateful person at all. In fact, I would be 100% okay with never getting a Christmas present again!
Sadie will probably get 20-25. From us, 7 or 8: her 4 "want, need, wear, read" gifts, a kitchen and food from Santa (not wrapped), and then one gift for her gift hunt. Plus her stocking! My parents and IL's get her at least 5 each. Then there's great grandma, aunts, uncles, etc.! Last year was nuts, but she loved it. She will get even more excited this year!

LO was only 15 months last year at Christmas, so we did 1 from DH and me. My parents go overboard for sure and we have a large family. This year, he'll be 2, so we'll likely get him 2 or 3 small gifts from us or one bigger one.

@lilteacherbee: I never even thought of having gifts from us AND Santa. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea though. I've always wondered how I would broach the subject if LO ever asked why some kids got more gifts than others. Maybe we will just label a few from Santa and the rest from mommy and daddy.
