You can't understand how it will completely ruin Christmas for their kids? I mean it doesn't really change anything for yours but will for theirs. I think you're being unreasonable tbh.

How is opening gifts Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ruining Christmas

My kids are older and know the truth. They also happily talk Santa with their younger cousins. They’d never spoil it for them. I raised them to be pretty decent human beings.

My kids open gifts on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. I don’t get what the big deal would be if all kids opened family gifts on Eve, then the youngest get their Santa gifts Christmas Day. I’d tell my kids I was holding off on some gifts until Xmas morning because their cousins still believe Santa comes. My kids would be 100% on board with that. Why wouldn’t yours??

Why would SILs kids think the Christmas Eve gifts were from Santa? That’s what’s weird. It seems your family is making an issue out of absolutely nothing.

All the gifts the kids get are from santa. She doesn't want my kids to open gifts that are supposed to be "from santa" to her kids. She is the one with the issue. There is no real reason why we can't do some gifts Christmas night and say they aren't from santa. We got her kids gifts even they could open those. She is making an issue when there shouldn't be one.

I bet her kids will get over changing the tradition by Christmas morning. It's op with the problem. I mean if my kids whined that much I'd be having a nice talking to them.

How is it me with the problem? I was willing to compromise. What is wrong with opening some gifts Christmas Eve?
