Tracy72 Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 we put it them under the as soon as they are wrapped...never anything new under the tree Christmas morning...I was wondering if you want and put some out the morning or all under from time they are wrapped? I cant handle my tree up without gifts under it so I have to have them under there..lol...maybe will leave a few for the morning...lol
Guest all2tired Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 Since my kids are little and still believe in Santa. Nothing goes under the tree until they are asleep on Christmas eve. Sometimes a tsp of Nyquil is needed to speed up the process of getting the presents under the tree if you know what I mean.
tootsieroll23 Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 The presents that are from mom and dad go under the tree as we get them. The presents from Santa go under the tree after they have gone to bed Christmas Eve. That way when they wake up they know that Santa came.

Now my son and his wife (sigh) they put stuff out as they wrap it. But it turns out they didn't buy the baby any toys at all last year because they knew the two grandmas were buying so much. That really *issed me off! LOL So this year, I'm not bringing in anything till after baby is in bed!
carla0922 Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 The presents form mom & dad go under as I buy them, of course all wrapped up. I have a 4 year old so we still do the Santa thing and those presents go out as soon as she goes to bed on Christmas eve.
Gporter34 Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 I put them under the tree as soon as they are wrapped.
erh12275 Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 We put the family gifts under the tree as soon as I get them wrapped...but the girls gifts won't be there til Christmas morning.
nellyhill Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 We put everyones (G-ma, Aunts, Uncles, friends) gifts out as soon as they are wrapped. Santa doesn't wrap at my house his "elves" bring and assemble the gifts after the kids go to sleep on Christmas eve.

all4linkae Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Nothing goes under the tree till the kids are asleep on Christmas eve!
zillygal Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I do the same as the others - from mom & dad under tree, and then santa comes during the night. (and my kids are teens & 20's... LOL)
outnumbered Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 My kids are too young to have them out before Christmas morning. Everything gets put under the tree after they are asleep. If it were out earlier they'd be opening it.
treasure60 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I put our gifts under the tree after the tree is all situated and done with. I end up rearranging several times before Christmas gets here. I try to make it so the gifts don't take up to much of my livingroom.
alimfp Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 In the past, a week before.. now? The night before.. otherwise the kids will be opening the presents early (and not understand why they shouldn't).
Mami2kiarah1002 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 nothing goes under the tree until after kids are sleeping xmas eve. unless they are for other people not in our household
wf2afcop Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 The gifts that are from us (my dh and I) will go under the tree as soon as it is up, as my gifts are already wrapped just waiting. Then Christmas Eve morning the kids get a large gift bag filled with fun things to do Christmas Eve day from Santa-Santa stops by Christmas Eve eve and makes sure he everyone has been good and leaves them the bag. Then, Santa comes back later that night to leave his gifts for the kids and fill their stockings. The kids go crazy over the Christmas Eve morning gift bag and keeps them occupied for some of the day.
shopping mom Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 We usually put themout as they are wrapped, but we leave one gift unwrapped next to their stocking. As the kids got older they began to be able to shake the packages and could guess what was in them. The grandmas and I did not want any pre-guessing so one year we assigned each child a color and wrote the color on the package instead of a name. The kids found it funny, no one knew their color until christmas morning.
Jenniferharrison82 Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Yep, I wait until christmas eve. My son or the cat would open it. Or my son would open them and blame the cat :)
Karmon Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 We put the kids' stuff out Christmas Eve. Everyone else's gifts are under the tree once the tree is up and the gifts wrapped:gd_pineap
Roswell2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Most of them go under on Christmas day because we have to fly so we can't wrap them early. Plus I'm not allowed to touch the presents. I'm 18 and they still don't trust me.
ajburlingame Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Before kids, as they were wrapped. Now, on Christmas Eve after everyone is asleep.
wallsjessica Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 We put ours from us to the kids under the tree once they are wrapped but the others from santa wait unitl they are fast asleep Xmas eve
Christypl Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 With a toddler I guess I will have to do it the night before!
JazzMama Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Our presents from each other go under the tree Thanksgiving weekend. Santa comes on Christmas Eve night and leaves a big "Santa sack" for Cailyn. Her stocking is not filled until that time either.
WELUVKDS79 Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 We put the tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving and the presents start going under the tree that are wrapped about a week later until Christmas.
Kandy Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 christmas eve for Santa gifts..after the kids are in bed... everything else... as it gets wrapped after the tree is up, it goes under
gisellerol Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 WELL I HAVE TRIED PUTTING IT UNDER TREE AS SOON AS I WRAPPED THEM BUT THE KIDS WILL NEVER BEHAVE BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAVE PRESENTS BUT A TREE WITH NO PRESENTS I CAN GET THEM TO BEHAVE BY TELLING THEM SANTA IS WATCHING AND IF THEY DONT BEHAVE HE AINT COMING TO OUR HOUSE THAT HE WILL SKIP US AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM
Mommie2one Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Even though my daughter knows theres no santa at age 10, I always wait till shes asleep before bringing them out. Its tradition
