[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 100713, member: 1967"] Not only did we use separate Santa paper but he used a different one for each child. That way it was easy on Christmas morning to know which present was for which girl. We also limited each of the girls to asking Santa for 5 gifts. It seemed so greedy to me when they had lists that went on forever for Santa. So we started the five gift limit with the explanation that Santa wouldn't have enough room in the sled if every child asked for more than that. They also had presents from mommy and daddy and other relatives under the tree. I also used the left handed method of writing out Santa tags. Another tradition that the girls loved was Advent calendars that have a piece of chocolate in them each day from December 1st - December 24th. In typical difficult child fashion though, difficult child would end up eating all of the chocolate long before the 24th whereas easy child would only open one each day like she was supposed to. I didn't buy them this year since the girls made fun of me last year when I gave them each one. So, of course, both acted upset when I gave one to each of our Thanksgiving host's small children and told them that I hadn't gotten one for them this year.
