How many presents does your LO get from Santa and how many from you as parents?

She is 1-- this year 1 from us, 1 from santa.

The Grandparents took care of about 1000 other presents!  When we get older we will do 1 from mom and dad, the rest from santa-   we did that growing up, we all exchanged 1 gift- mom/dad/sibs-- then the rest was santa-

As my Brother and I got older if we wanted to get them more than 1 thing we would wrap it from Santa also- and My dad is notorious for wrapping gifts for himself and saying "oooo look what santa got me"

Stocking full of little things, one main Santa present and one present from us. That is MORE than enough considering the stuff she'll get from others ;-) Merry Christmas!!

He is horrified of Santa so we will probably just say "Santa came!" and let him have at.  We haven't decided how many gifts are from Santa and how many are from us.  We got him a ton of stuff.  I guess next year when he kind of knows what is going on a bit more we will decide that.
We definitely went waaaaaaay overboard with gifts this year, though.  Especially since his birthday is January 8th.  We already decided to move 3 of his gifts from his Christmas stock to his birthday gifts.  Plus my family is crazy and gets him tons of stuff, too.

We don't plan on doing a certain of gifts from us or Santa. It just is what it is. This year the. If gift is from us kitchen set along with some clothes. The others diff food sets and 1 toy is from "Santa". The grandparents and our families always go overboard which is fine with us! so this year I didn't buy as much.

1 from Santa and 2 from us.  We decided to keep it to 3 presents per child to keep them from getting too much "stuff", keep with the 3 presents Jesus received and keep the budget down.

Christmas presents will be all from Santa. Hanukkah presents (8 of them) are from us. 

Most of the Christmas presents were things she needs--like new crayons, boots, etc.

One big gift from Santa this year it's a work bench for LO 1 and the rest from us. He has 5 or 6 other gifts but they're all books and puzzles.

If we aren't seeing them then they mail them and the presents go under the tree... If they are visiting within a few days then they bring it

I don't have a specific number that she is getting from me or Santa. It more so what she is getting. Any clothes, books, and odds and ends she gets from me. All toys she gets from Santa. This year I didn't pay attention to what I had bought her until I started wrapping presents so Santa only got her one gift. I knew she was getting toys from every other else I bought her books and stuff she needed.

One from Santa plus her stocking. Three from us to represent the 3 wise men.

ETA: We also will get her a Christmas book every year for her to open on Christmas Eve.

I think when he's older we'll do one big present from Santa and the little stuff from us. This year, he had 6 (small) Santa presents at our house and 1 big one at my parents'. We gave him 1 big present and 3 little ones.

This year he ended up with 8 from Santa and none from us. I was wrapping away and did them all in Santa paper without even thinking about it.  Usually I'd do one from us and the rest from Santa.
