Patti, my dad was my Santa. Funny thing is, while we were waiting for him to come wake us, it never occurred to us that he WALKED from the neighbors house to ours! I never figured out it was him until I spotted the edge of his work shirt sleeve under the Santa suit one year.

Well it was a nice tradition and I am happy for you that you have these great memories. Did you let Dad or your bros/sis know you knew who it was?

I am the youngest so everyone else was going along with it for me. I don't remember if I told anyone that year but Mom & Dad knew the following year.

When we were young at home, Mom always let us open 1 gift on Christmas Eve but she got to pick it out.
With our daughter we have always done it on Christmas morning.
