No, I just think it is fitting in some twisted way that someone with no magic in his heart is the one creating the magical things for kids.

We had both - like someone said up-thread, wrapped ones were from people, unwrapped from Santa.
This is the way it is in my family. Stockings are Santa's job too. Poor Santa gets a bad rep since he is as lame with the present giving as mom sometimes. Santa presents also tend to be the hard to wrap items.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
My mother puts presents under the tree from herself, Santa, the pets, and whomever else she can think of. It's kinda hilarious. Also, Santa is always careful to leave a present for the pets.
It's weird - this will be the first Christmas we've spent together in... 11 years? Something like that.
I don't remember when I stopped believing in Santa, but I don't think it was all that traumatic.

So, do most people get some from Santa, some from Mom, some from Dad?

Totally.
Oh lord, now I'm remembering, when my mom was sick and my sister and I went "OMG, stockings!" at like 10 p.m. on Christmas eve - those were some ghetto stockings, I'll tell you what. We filled them up with all kinds of shit we had lying around, including Diet Cokes straight out of the fridge. Laughed our asses off, though.

When I was a kid, I got one present from my parents and all the rest from Santa. (And, of course, I got presents from my brothers, grandparents, etc.)
For those of you who read Slacktivist, this week's Left Behind Friday is especially good.
