Is it bad I haven’t bought presents for my kids to open on Christmas Day? More context below!

Honestly I get side eyes for this but in our house Santa brings 1 present and it's under $20 as for other gifts my daughter is 2 and I did get her a few things but I agree that children don't need to be overwhelmed with gifts. my mom is trying to go crazy and I had to tell her w/e she buys us most likely staying at her house. Like she bought not one but two bounce houses
I just want to point out that even if you did have a lot of presents for them to open, there is absolutely no need to take them and then bring them back. I'm going to assume they'll have presents to open when they're older, don't make it harder on yourself by carting their presents around to other people's houses. Just have them open them on Christmas morning before you leave.
They literally will not even know what is happening 😂
They are too young to notice or care. If you feel you need to get them something then just buy an item of clothing or a book to open but like you said they will have stuff from the other people. You don’t need to lug 100s of presents to your in-laws house. Plus if you bought stuff aswell you will be there for days opening it all n if it’s not needed then don’t worry. Spend your money during the year/bday when it’s needed and more special.
You could wrap their laundry and it would be the same thing for them. You do not need to take presents to somewhere else, its really for the pictures at that age anyways. If you did want to wrap a few things for them for the pictures do it when you get home but no need.
Our toddler got so overwhelmed his first 2 Christmas’s. This is his first one he’s actually excited about. We even have a couple wrapped presents from his first year still 😆. You’re fine!! They’ll get stuff from everyone else.
