Does CS cover "Christmas expenses"? I buy gifts and give money directly to my children at Christmas, but my ex is demanding I give her and additional $300 per child for "santa" presents.

Tell her that Santa arrives at your house with your money, and her hous ewith her money, and if she's not saved up enough over the year from teh child support, you hope she'll be able to make it up for herself otherwise, because she no longer gets to pretend to be generous with the kids on your dime. That's for YOUR generousity to decide how to spend, and watch the kids' reactions as they open the gifts you pay for!

I'd skip the sermons and insults and just politely tell her, "No".

Well, I would tell her that unless it is in the court order, you aren't giving it to her.
And if she takes you to court, I don't think a judge will award it to her.
How much money she chooses to spend on gifts for the kids is up to her and either comes from her earnings or the child support.
And how much money you decide to spend on the kids for gifts is entirely up to you.

Tell her that Santa already came 12 times this year.

My suggestion would be that she have christmas at her house, and you have christmas at your house. That way you each are responsible for your own christmas with the kids. And if the kids are still young enough to belive in Santa, they can come over to your house and you just tell them that Santa came to your house too....If she doesn't go for that, she is just trying to get money out of you.
Or, instead of giving her money, tell her to give you a list of their wishes and you will get what you can afford or split the list in half. It's all about compromise.

Maybe you should suggest that she should see if Disneyland needs more characters for their Fantasyland. $300 per child for "santa" gifts? OMG! I didn't spend $300 per child all combined. Santa gifts were a less expesnive item that they were allowed to open before the rest of the family was up and awake, along with their stocking.
The high priced items were from us. I have never heard of such nonsense. Simple answer Hell No! $300 per child for "santa" gifts...gmao here!
