I am a single mom, so far Santa has only brought presents for my daughter on Christmas, as he has continued to drop mine off at my parent's house thus far. When should I tell Santa to start bringing them to my own house, so my daughter doesn't think it's weird that she's the only one getting presents at our house on Christmas? She's 2 1/2 now, will be 3 by next Christmas. Would next Christmas be a good time to start, or not necessary yet?
PS - I know kids come on here, that's why I phrased my question the way I did!

My kids were 3 1/2 and 6 this past Christmas and when my parents arrived on Christmas eve with a bunch of presents for them from "Santa" they didn't think twice about the fact that they weren't delivered directly to our house so you're probably OK for another few years.

It's entirely possible that that you can just explain that Santa knows your Christmas plans and leaves presents accordingly. I'm not saying it's what I'd do, but I don't see a problem with it either. My son was a couple months short of two years old this last Christmas; Santa showed up at my parents' house early so we could do stockings there the 23rd, and then he came to our house in time for us to do more stockings on Christmas!

If I understand your question, the problem is that your daughter receives her gifts at your house, but you receive your gifts at your parents' house. If that's the problem, ask your parents to come to your house next Christmas and bring your gifts with them. That way, your daughter sees everyone together and happy, sharing the Christmas Spirit (since that's really what the day is about). Share the cookies, some juice, maybe have breakfast at your house. Then, if it's better for you to have Christmas Dinner at your parents' house, move the party there in the afternoon.
Good luck--

ummmm... I think that you should ask your parents to bring the things that you got to your house and explain it to them what you are talking about and I am pretty shure that they will be okay with it.

She probably won't think twice about it.
