At our house the big gifts under the tree is from family and loved ones. But each of the four Sundays of advent Santa puts small gifts in the children's rooms at night and on Christmas eve he knocks on our door and leaves a bag of small gifts after they've opened the ones under the tree.
There's also a Christmas fox who hides treats in their rooms in the afternoon on the 24th, which helps pass the time until Christmas eve and the big gifts.
That way we get both things. The kids know they are getting gifts from the people who loves them and they get the excitement of Santa visiting them.
Yeah but why make kids do magical thinking? Its far better to teach them dialectical materialism and scientific rigor
