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.

We do Christmas Eve night.Our children and grands come over we have our Christmas supper and then open gifts.There are so many in laws that we have to set a date,But ours has always been on Christmas Eve.Then on Christmas morning my husband and I make the rounds to the childrens houses to see what Santa brought all the little ones.We come home for a quite day while they all go to whom evers they are having Christmas with that day.

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.
