[quote=Anonymous]I’m a grandmother here, spending Christmas with my DD and Son-in-Law. SILs family tradition is big dinner Christmas Eve (though he said not gift opening.)  SILs mother/the other grandmother said same thing w/Santa having dropped presents at her house already and said Santa wanted them all opened last night. What I found odd/presumptuous was this ‘Santa’ fulfilled nearly the entirety of our granddaughters’ wish lists “duplicating” nearly everything my DD/SIL had purchased but these were pretty awful near-dollar store knock offs. In the moment granddaughters thrilled with, for example, Barbie playhouse woo hoo!! and a ‘American Girl’ doll - same size but not even close to a nice example. But not only are almost every gift extremely tacky there were so many as I said “duplicating” the entire wish list so many many gifts) what I find especially selfish about this is that with no chance to replace already purchased gifts, I feel like the other grandmother has taken away some of the magic rightfully due to the parents to get the Santa presents their kids ask for.
