Should grandparents address presents "from Santa"?

Santa can go where he pleases. The kids wont care as much as you do. If you make a big deal about it … so will they. But I mean to each their own if it’s that big of deal maybe you should have gave them a heads up.

I think it’s up to the family and their traditions. I think its up to the grandparents who are hosting a hectic messy holiday in their house. In short it aint ya business so mind your own 🤷

All our gifts are from the Elves. I make up names associated with the gift. Way better and everyone loves the names.

My kids do the Santa gifts for their kids. My husbands all about the babies being excited over the gifts we got them. He won’t give the credit to Santa.

Eh doesn’t make a difference to me. Do. Don’t. Idc

Yall let too many of the tiniest, craziest things be a problem.
This is the silliest problem to have in a world full of problems.
Learn how to let some shit go. Enjoy life. Let the grandparents enjoy their grandkids. Let Santa have full reign.
If Santa wanted to leave a present for my kids at my neighbor’s house, who am I to tell Santa no?

We normally do 1 or 2 presents for my grandkids as “from Santa” and say he left them with us for the kids to open at our house. But this year we went to almost all the adult kids’ houses so we just gave them presents from us.

My kids get santa from us and from my parents and my husbands. They are 5 and 2 so we usually do a small Christmas at home, then go to my parents, where they have more stuff and then to his parents, even more stuff. Santa comes to all places but we are always extra grateful to our grandparents who allowed santa to help them make their Christmas good.

I only have my grands name on their gift, they automatically know it’s from us. Doesn’t matter one way or the other

Wouldn’t bother me. Never had a problem though with relatives they put their name on my son’s gifts. My Grandparents did too with me. I had Santa gifts at home.

I think it’s honestly based on your opinion with your kids…my family has always let my wife and I be Santa and they just give the kids gifts but other people arent like that

Santa make a special stop at the grandparents house (and grandpa seems to miss it every year😉) it’s our family’s tradition

My mother In law used to do some from Santa. She would always tell them Santa knew we would be there for Christmas. So he dropped a couple off there.
Never bothered us a bit. Sounds petty to be honest.

I firmly believe Santa shouldn’t be dropping off expensive gifts or a ton of gifts multiple places due to kids who are not as fortunate so I wouldn’t like it.

Depends on the family.in some families the parents do Santa and in others the grandparents do Santa. Neither is wrong so long as both parents and grandparents agree with it.

However, if the parents don’t want the grandparents to do Santa and they do it anyway that is wrong. Ultimately, it’s the parents choice first but they can’t push it off on the grandparents if the grandparents don’t want to do Santa.

I don’t see why not. Kids don’t really care who the presents are from. They’re just excited to open them. I would have no problem with my parents putting their name on gifts that are from them. We exchange gifts on Christmas Eve with my parents, but if we did Christmas morning, I would expect them to write their names on the gifts that they got for my kids. It’s not their responsibility to contribute to the Santa fund. Anything that comes from Santa in our household is my responsibility, and I usually take one of the most expensive thing that I got my kids and say it’s from me. So they don’t wonder why their mom didn’t get them anything but everyone else did. This year, I finally caved and got my kids tablets. I’m very anti-technology, but I want them to know how to use them considering they have to use them at school. And I also got them Disney on Ice tickets for this Saturday. Everything else was from Santa. On Christmas Eve everything that they got was from my parents, because it was at their house. That’s just the way we’ve always done it and my kids still absolutely adore the idea of Santa Claus and the magic of Christmas. It doesn’t take away from anything at all.

I have to say no bad experience with my mother in law doing this once and after that I put my foot down and said never again hubby and I will be the only ones being santa, however some times my parents will but something my daughter asked Santa for and when they give it to her the flat out tell her it’s from them but that they talked to Santa and he said it was ok for them to give it to her

Ok. So your child’s grandparents…got them gifts. They don’t want the credit they just want see your child excited and happy.
So they marked from santa. Your kid isn’t going to care. What is the big deal? “Santa” could have sent some gifts to grandparents house as well as well as left some at home.

Is this really a discussion, if anyone in my family wants to address a present from Santa to my child and say oh look what Santa left at my house because he knew you were coming by all means have at it. All it’s going to do is make my children happy and believe in Santa even more

I always have Santa gifts. It just makes my grandson more excited and fun to watch!

In our house santa leaves 1 gift for each child, because I’d never want my child to think she got 20 gifts from santa, if her friend only got 1, because she was better or more deserving somehow. #1. trust me, she was not. #2. Who wants their child to think that way? Be better AT something, but not just better. We do live with grampa part time. If he buys the gift she asked Santa for, then ok. But that’s discussed early in the gift buying process. I don’t think I ever received a gift from Santa at Nana’s or Mom-mom’s, but I’m getting old now, so maybe?

I say what does it matter. The kids get extra gifts from “santa” as long as the grandparents dont tell them they are from them not santa what’s the problem. Santa sees all and knows all so he knew they were gonna be there. Maybe they were extra good this year. I personally dont see this as being an issue at all

My children get one gift from Santa and the rest from us. And not an expensive gift because I dont want my kids asking why santa brought them airpods and their friend Sally got a doll.

Technically since santa “visits every house” so I think there should be presents from santa at each house :woman_shrugging:t3::grimacing:
It shouldnt really matter who’s buying them. The gifts are "from’ santa so you wouldnt get the credit for the toys anyway even if you did buy them.

It used to bother me because so many questions then got asked and it opened up a lot more doors for lies and twisted truths… but I realize their hearts are in the right place and they just want to soak up the magic with their grandkids that they miss with their own kids and it doesn’t bother me as much. Let them enjoy their holiday the way they want to. I’m sure if you look back, your grandparents did it too, for you.

I don’t know I am Great Auntie and Santa came to my house because my Adopted children and my Great niece and nephew were same age. Still do for last three because they have disabilities and Santa still comes at 20, 19, 15. It is up to how each family feels.

Santa has always come to my moms house, her other grandmothers house and my in laws house. My daughter has a lot of family. Each member of the family gets her things and some say it’s from Santa which I’m completely ok with. If she ever asks why Santa spreads her toys out like that I would simply say because Gigi asked Santa to make sure he dropped some with her so she could see you open presents too! Or that Nana has gifts from Santa cause he forgot some when he was at our house.

No. How is this even a big deal?

When my granddaughter lived in the cities and was at my house Christmas morning, I did a Santa gift, now that they live by me, Santa fills just their Stockings and everyone else’s(husband, mine, daughter, son, granddaughters & sons girlfriend)at my house.

No and this makes me mad. I refuse to let my kid go to school telling kids Santa got him a $300 DS bc my parents don’t have common sense. We just went through this yesterday.

I use “Santa” when giving gifts to my kids because it’s not a contest as to who got them what. For me, “Santa” represents the joy of giving, not the person who paid for the gift.

quit bitching that someone brings the gift you wanted to bring or too much be appreciative that a lot of people love your baby pull your head out of your ass

I wouldn’t really care as long as it’s nothing over extravagant, I would prefer if all gifts from “Santa” were clothes, shoes and other NEEDS not wants, anything expensive I will address from myself or get my family to address from them self’s because some kids don’t get much for Christmas so it isn’t fair to say one person got a Xbox from Santa and one got a book or whatever​:woman_shrugging:t3: my daughter will grow up being told we told Santa to only get what’s needed so others can have something nice too :heart:
That way she will also appreciate money knowing it doesn’t grow on trees :woman_shrugging:t3:

Does it really hurt that much? Presents are given with love, how you address who they are from is irrelevant. Grandparents love the joy of seeing their grandchildren at Christmas, why spoil their happiness and the children’s with petty problems that you create? Just enjoy for goodness sake, it is NOT a competition!!!

My parents always do one Santa gift for the grandkids. Its nothing huge just something small. Never will I have an issue with it because there are kids out there getting nothing. Be grateful. Christmas should not revolve around the gifts.

Were the kids hurt?
Sometimes as parents we get upset at stupid stuff and it’s more about control than anything else.
Learn the difference.
When your child visits their dad and calls you crying bc Santa didn’t being anything…and dad didn’t get the child anything… You realoze that some shit is just petty.

How about " thanks," for remembering my kiddos.

When you did not even get up when she was born I don’t think because you were to tired
