Why can I not give my grandchildren presents?

When our daughter was small, all of the presents from us were from Santa Claus. [He was always given his full name at our house. Don't know why really, except that he was always called this in my childhood] Presents from relatives were put under the tree, either before the big day or as they arrived on Christmas day. Relatives presents were opened after lunch and were always from the relative concerned. There was always a little reminder the day before about showing appreciation to those who had been kind enough to bring her a gift. Those there on the day were thanked verbally at the present opening and again as they left. Only those not there on the day got a written thank yon.

When my grandchildren came along, lunch was at our house. I wasn't given any instructions by my daughter, so when they were small they had Santa Claus presents at both their home and mine. Other people's gifts were from them and a little thank you card was sent as soon as they could write their name.
They are aged 15 and 12 now so over the years they gradually became aware that grandma and grandad gave them gifts, not Santa Claus and so began thanking us. It never bothered me that when they were little they thought gifts at ours were not from us. We liked it that way. Horses for courses I suppose. Everybody is different. They have always been loving and appreciative where ever the gifts came from.

I'm pretty sure that my kids, when little, just ripped off the wrapping paper and paid no attention to where they came from.

One year, though, when second son was five, he said 'Oh, that's funny, look Mum, Father Christmas has the same wrapping paper as you!'

Following one Christmas when one of ur children asked, having opened a pile of presents, “Well those were all from Father Christmas, what did you buy for us? “We told them that as Father Christmas could not afford to buy presents for all the children in the world, parents had to pay for them, but Father Christmas left them on Christmas Eve. This seemed to resolve the problem until they were old enough to realise otherwise.

Hetty58 my husband always did the wrapping, and made sure the "present from Santa" was wrapped in a different paper ?
