my2kidsmom Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Does Santa leave presents wrapped, unwrapped, or some of both.
alimfp Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Both. Most are wrapped, but this year two will be unwrapped.
lisamag Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 gee i can't answer you poll. santa doesn't come to our house lol the kids know i'm the one that buys their gifts. and everything gets wrapped.
dereksmommy Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 our house is both wrapped and unwrapped
okiemom00 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Unwrapped here! My kids would for sure recognize the wrapping paper or the way I wrap. That's the way it was always done when I was growing up too.
noehlp Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 EVERYTHING gets wrapped here. I guess maybe someday that might change if it's too big to wrap, hasn't been an issue yet. When I was a kid, my Mom never wrapped anything. The only gifts I got to unwrap (and enjoy the excitement along with it) was from my Grandma. So I made a promise to myself to always wrap my kids' gifts. Though I did not wrap the clothes box for oldest dd, but it is a decorative one. I couldn't as I ran out of tape.
Fishboysmom Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I wrap EVERYTHING! Even the stocking stuffers. I think getting the presents is only half the fun. Seeing the tree first thing in the morning with all those presents under it, and unwrapping them, makes up the other half. I will never forget the memories I have of Christmas morning. It was the best! I want my kids to have those same memories.
dmmiller Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Mostly wrapped, but this year, He's bringing bikes, and I dont think he can wrap those. :)
ajdana726 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Mostly wrapped, but this year, He's bringing bikes, and I dont think he can wrap those. :)Sure he can wrap that too. they sell those bike bags, i use them for a lot of things, i make small presents look like bigs ones with those bags, it is fun to stuff them with paper and watch them digging around to find out what is the bottom of the bag By they way i wrap everthing
justjessie99 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 everything gets wrapped.... except one year we assembled the little tykes tool bench, so just slapped a huge bow on it... same with the long sleds. otherwise I wrap it.!!!
jarerice Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Santa leaves 4 unwrapped gifts and everything else is under the tree.
Scanner420 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Some of both. DS 3 is getting a Bike this year and his older brother is getting a telescope. I also have two sets of golf clubs and an easel (DD5) that'll be set up, along with The Rose Petal Cottage (DD2) and some of the accessories. As for my wife...they're wrapped. Badly, mind you....but they're wrapped.
floridasun5 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Some of both. Most all gifts are wrapped except for the big ones. My dd is 14 so we dont have Santa gifts anymore, we just put out the ones that we dont wrap first thing on Christmas morning before she gets up.
beccas302 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 they're usually wrapped (even in the stocking), but we got DS the lego toybox and one of the storage boxes, so we'll leave them unwrapped with a bow on it. Everything else is wrapped in a paper he hasn't seen yet :)
Guest mldepalma Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Santa doesn't wrap at my house. Our kids get up earlier than DH and I do so they get to go play with whatever Santa left (unwrapped toys) until we get up. Besides, I don't think Santa likes to wrap...
tntsmomie Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Santa doesn't wrap in our house, either. Gifts from us or relatives are wrapped, but Santa's presents are unwrapped and sitting in groups (by child) in separate areas of the living room. (leaves lots of room for their presents they unwrap )
leefamily23 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Everything is wrapped in our house- except if it were too big. Like in the past a bike- and then a dirt bike. Now mom love's ribbon's and bow's and decorating and coordinating the tags/paper/ect. Santa and the elves don't have time for that- so they are just wrapped w/ no ribbon's or bow's in our house. Also, they never had nametags either. Just in a pile w/ all 1 type of santa paper (guess it helped to only have 1 child).
3cuties4me Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Everything gets wrapped except each kid gets 1 big gift that is not wrapped (this year Alexis is getting butterscotch, Austin is getting a ride on john deere tractor and Rylee is getting the rose petal cottage with accessories). The big items are all set up and ready for them to play with when they come down the stairs. ~ Erin (24y/o SAHM to 3 cuties ages 4 and under... plus sweet baby #4 due July 24, 2008)!
justprettynpink Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Santa wraps in Santa themed paper. Names are written in marker on the presents. Big gifts such as bikes and such are left under the tree with their name on it. Presents from family members are wrapped in non Santa paper with gift tags.
dd50 Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Everything gets wrapped except for really large presents like bikes or kitchens. Even wrap the stocking stuffers.
annzjack Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 When my kids asked about the paper...I told them santa doesnt have time to wrap. He brings the toys and I get up and wrap them to make the surprise bigger! They agree they prefer to unwrap their gifts so they like that I take the time to do that for them!
Shortness Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Everything but the stocking stuffers--though I usually wrap some of those. I'm not sure if I will or not this year. They love just diggin in and pulling different things out.
mcapel4444 Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Santa brings one "big" gift to each kid- that is always unwrapped, and ready to be played with. Their stockings are pretty much wrapped things, except for any loose candy.
llist Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Unless the item is large, everything gets wrapped. Things from Santa are in Santa themed paper with special Santa gift tags. Couple years ago DS 12 noticed that some of the family gifts were wrapped in the previous year "Santa" paper... had to quickly explain that when Santa has extra paper he leaves it for moms & dads to use so that nothing goes to waste... now I'm much more careful!!
Christy Garner Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 No Santa gifts wrapped here. Only presents wrapped are the ones from "mom and dad" - Santa presents are set out ready to go in a pile for each son. I do like the idea of wrapping stocking stuffers - think i will be doing that this year to add a bit more excitement.
