Is it bad I haven’t bought presents for my kids to open on Christmas Day? More context below!
I have a 20 month old and a 4 month old.
For Christmas we are going to my inlaws who live 3 hours away.
There are at least 6 people who have bought my children presents to open on Xmas day and I genuinely think that they don’t need anything else!
I feel like at their ages it’s a little pointless to take bags of presents to my inlaws house and then have soo many things to bring back home especially when they have no idea what day is it!
I have bought my oldest a few things over the last couple of weeks but have just given them straight to him instead of saving them for Christmas Day but now I’m having mum guilt that he will only be opening presents from other people 🤦♀️

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 😂
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.
