ANY parent will understand saving up all year to buy your little ones Christmas presents just for Santa Claus to take all the credit.
But one mum has shared a genius way to keep the festive magic alive while taking the bulk of the credit for yourself.
She explained how she tells her seven-year-old son that Santa can only fit one gift on his sleigh… and it’s never the main present or an expensive one.
This teaches her little one that “even magic has its limits” and stops every child’s favourite man from reaping the rewards of her hard work.
Posting in parenting group Family Lowdown Tips and Ideas on Facebook, she penned: “To anyone feeling guilty…. My son is seven and every year for Christmas, Santa brings him one gift.
“Just one, and it’s under £20.
“Santa has different wrapping paper to us and it’s never the main or most expensive present.
“You see, with all the children in the world there is only enough room on his sleigh for one present.
“Even magic has its limits.”
She went on to explain that she wants to teach her little man that even though magic is everywhere in the world, it has its limits.

The mum argued it will be a life lesson as he grows up and learns to adapt about life and the many situations it can throw at you.
She continued: “Santa should not get the credit for the Xbox, iPad or latest phone.
“Because us parents work too damn hard to provide and lavish our kids the best we can for our efforts to be credited to Santa.
“Let them know you provided their biggest wish, because no matter what your situation, I'm sure you're doing a bang up job.
“So TAKE THE CREDIT, or you know, just do what you want and have a wonderful christmas.”
Parents flocked to the comments to praise the savvy mum and even shared how they stop Santa from taking all the credit.
Multiple mums tell their tots that Father Christmas gets all the presents in the stockings and the ones under the tree are from mum and dad.
One shared: “I’ve always said to my kids that we give Santa the money and he delivers Christmas eve!”
Another divulged: “Santa has only ever bought ours one present each, nothing over £30 and something for them to do together!
