POLL: Santa

When you were a child, did you get gifts from just Santa or from Santa AND your parent's?

I can remember just getting gifts from Santa and never wondering why my parent's never got me anything.  

Just curious as to what your parent's did when you still believed in Santa.

*my mom STILL writes from "Santa" on all of our Christmas gifts...lol

Re: POLL: Santa

  • I got both. Usually my mom left a few gifts unwrapped or wrapped them in different paper so when I saw them the next morning they were more special, like santa had put them there, which I think was cool...
  • I got presents from both. 
  • I got presents from both,,,, I still get presents from both actually.
  • I got presents from both.  And they used "special" paper for the Santa gifts and my dad would use fancy handwriting to sign the tag.  Made it more special. 
  • I got presents from both.  Santa always gave us toys and my parents gave us clothes. 
  • I think I got one gift from Santa growing up.

  • Always some from Santa and my parents growing up.?
  • Both, and my mom still writes 'From Santa' on some too!
  • If I remember correctly, my parents would give us each one present from them. We got it Christmas Eve. The rest of the gifts were under the tree Christmas morning and they were from Santa.  And my mom has been known to still write From Santa on some of the tags too :)
  • My mom seriously went all out and I believe in Santa for a long time.  We got gifts from my parents and from Santa.  She always used different wrapping paper, different tags on the gifts, different writing completely on the tags, and she kept presents at my grandparent's house returning late at night on Christmas Eve to get them.

    We did cookies, milk, and carrots for Santa too and there always was a note left for us on Christmas morning.

  • My sister and I had from both Santa and our parents.  We always wondered, though, why Santa had our dad's handwriting!  But Santa always wrote a "Keep Up the Being Good Little Girls" on the note we'd write to him and my sister's (who is younger) eyes would get as big as saucers and tape the note to her door because she was in awe Santa would write something to her. lol

    My parents would say that they'd mail their gifts to Santa for the elves to wrap so they could all be delivered Christmas Eve, and that's why they had the same paper.  That worked until I accidently found their hiding spot one year (yeah... accidently.... Devil)

  • Both!
