Overnight Guest on Christmas Eve ~~ How to handle?

DD lives with 6 people, all of them are going to their family homes on Christmas Eve but there is one guy that doesnt have anywhere to go. She asked my husband and I if he could stay with us. We have talked about it between ourselves and with our other kids. We figured he could sleep on the couch but the younger girls are scared Santa won't come if he is in the living room. Ugh don't know what to do but i don't feel right about anyone beinging alone on Christmas either

 

I would also have to have a few gifts for him to open and a stocking

 

What are your thoughts?

Oh ya, Santa will come, as long as the guy is asleep.

 

We've spent the night by the tree to try to "catch santa" (or any kids sneaking down) and notice that Santa NEVER comes until after we've fallen asleep. Huh.

 

:) Speaking as the person who never had family to go to during college, and was often with friends, your gestures will be appreciated. I say do it.

I think it's great that you would welcome someone into your home for Christmas. I hate the thought of anyone spending Christmas alone. I would tell your kids NOTHING can stop santa. He has ways of delivering presents no matter what the circumstances are. Geesh..he manages to come into homes with no fireplaces, and braves blizaards when even planes can't fly. A college kid on the couch surely isn't going to stop him. I would have something special for him to open at least, can't have santa forgetting him. Edited by Buckeye Shopper
