Cheryl says that her own unusual tradition teaches her 'nosey' little ones to leave any wrapped presents under the tree alone
A mum-of-six has confessed that she does not let Santa Claus take credit for the expensive gifts she buys her children every year as she strives to teach them a more important lesson about gratitude. Cheryl Cooper, 40, has so far spent an eye watering £3,000 on gifts this year which she wraps and puts under the tree weeks ahead of Christmas.
"It works for me and also teaches my children that just because there are presents under there, it doesn't mean they're to be opened. They still need to be patient and wait for Christmas Day." "Then big presents are from mum and dad who have worked hard for their gifts and I think that is important for children to remember that mum and dad had to work hard for those big presents." Cheryl said she understands that everyone has a different approach to parenting but she's received a very positive response on social media about her decision.
