Partner works away.

Is there any mums out there who's partner works away? Daddy is due home on the 27th 🤞 so we're having two Christmas's. One with my family, then another when he's home. My question is, what are you doing xmas eve/morning to show that santas been? I still want it to be magical but I also want to wait till his dad's home so we can open the doors and all the presents are under the tree etc. It's because it's his first when he sort of understands what's going on and i don't want his dad to miss that moment. TIA xx

Maybe save 1/2 the presents and do the same when he’s home? Just say Santa say your very special this year and he’s making 2 visits to our home 🥰 xxx

Will he notice if you move Christmas to 27th? With it being his first Christmas that he remembers even if you're opening other presents with family he won't know the routine of Santa coming on the same day! (Might not work depending on what you've got going on / if you see other children that might ask what he got)

Yeah he'll be with his cousins during the day. I've decided what to do. We will leave out a carrot and a mince pie and do all the xmas eve stuff and then in the morning he will have one little present from santa and a special note to say that he will be back when his daddy gets home. It'll work for this year 🤣 hes gona have heaps to open later so he's not missing out. It's just our presents really. Thanks for the suggestions though x
