1. None. The presents are from us but we send them to santa and santa decides whether he's been a good enough boy to get them. It's the way my parents did it and I think it kept santa alive a little longer as my parents weren't at all well off and had 5 kids to buy for so they could say if they couldn't afford much one year and if we found presents we didn't question why they were in our house instead of being with santa.

2. We put little toys, underwear, chocolates and sweets in stockings.

3. Haven't done them before and didn't even think about it before coming on here this year but i'd like to do them this year. I think we'll put DVDs, PJs, colouring books and christmas sweets/cookies in them. Maybe even marshmellows so we can have a hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream before bed on Christmas eve x

 

[shambaby]

1 - hayden gets one present from santa, which is not wrapped, but has a big bow and some little red jingly bells on it. the rest are from whoever bought them

2 - we started stockings last year, and we all 3 have one. they all have sweets and chocolate in them (has to include a chocolate orange and a bag of chocolate coins!) plus in hayden's small toys, crayons, stickers, books, basically anything small enough and not too expensive! a big hit from last year was a little frog torch from m&s, seen similar in asda this year. in ours it's things like socks, smellies, little nick nacks, last year hubby put a pair of silver earrings in mine and he got some transformers pj bottoms.

3 - no christmas eve bags here, but i have bought an elf who will bring a few presents through december - his advent calendar on 1st december, a christmas book, christmas cd, christmas dvd and on christmas eve he will bring some new pj's.

3. Do you do Christmas Eve bags/boxes/hampers? If so what do you put in them?

No we don't but this year we're going to make cookies together, have a special meal, then watch Christmas films with hot chocolate and treats. Think I will get me and LO nice new pyjamas too. When Rory is in bed me and OH will probably have something to drink.

1. Everything except gifts from friends and family comes from Santa so probably around 20 gifts each, one big, some medium sized and some small bits like sticker sheets.

2. We all have stockings and Santa fills them with things like bubbles, crayons, gingerbread men, socks, toothbrush, magic flannel, satsuma, chocolate coins, bath toys, toy cars, little books, tubs of playdoh, etc.

3. We don't do Christmas eve bags but we do get Christmas books and DVDs during December to enjoy in the run up and we watch a film on Christmas eve. The boys also get new jammies for Santa coming.

1. I've been telling Imogen that most of her presents we send to Santa to wrap (god I wish he would wrap it all ha ha) as he doesn't have enough presents to buy all the children in the world all their presents ha ha! When she's a but older we'll have to identify in some way the presents that Santa got them although he does bring them all!

2. I put all the small presents in a stocking, this goes under the tree still though it just keeps the smaller bits together and easier for her to find.

3. Did Xmas eve bag for first time last year put in new oh's, slipper socks, activities, ginger bread man kit, magic key for Santa, chocolate and books. Prob add a DVD this year and snowman soup. Gonna make a baby friendly one for Freya too.
