OK but honest question from a Jew. Do people usually put all of the gifts under the tree as from Santa, and if so, how do you know whom to thank for which gifts? Or is it only some gifts they say are from Santa? Or does this vary by family?

As a kid some presents were from Santa, and some were from Mum and Dad. No idea how it was decided though. As an adult (with no children) I just give presents from myself – I think Santa is just the domain of parents or the person whose house it is? A bit of fun for adults?

In our household we also generally give gifts one by one and watch each person open/appreciate the gift as a group, so it's pretty obvious who gave what gift. Santa tends to be the domain of parents though, and is done before the main gathering.

If you received a gift "from Santa" as an adult then it's a bit of lighthearted fun, usually orchestrated by my Mum.
