So THATS whats wrong with Trip!

I dont have kids, but as a child my parents would wrap everything, and those from santa would say "from santa". Worked till I became a handwriting analyzer and figured out Daddy was Santa.

We still played the game for my little sisters tho.

it makes sense in a weird kind of way that gifts from santa would not be wrapped.

however when i was a kid our's were wrapped and for my kids I santa always wrapped them.

Your friends may be serial killers. If I were you I'd move to another state and change your name. not only are they wrong, they are are twisted, soulless people who just may be members of the Mexican drug cartel. If you come back with the info we have said, that Santa presents should be wrapped, they may take out their anger on you and your family.
Run as fast as you can.
Preferably topless,
cause its Christmas.

Santa never left me a present that wasn't wrapped.

We wrap all ou presents, the boy likes ripping into that paper almost as much as he does gettin the actual presents. The only thing you don't wrap is a bike, it just gets a bow on the handlebars.

I open the packages and pre install any batteries in the stuff that needs it. I fully understand having them play with the stuff immediately, but in my mind they should get to unwrap everything.
Hell, one year my son got a cordless drill as a gift - The WTF look on his face was priceless. Then he figured out he had to use it to open the crate his pitbike was in.

If you're going to put the effort into something, do it right. Just like there are right ways and a wrong ways to beat your wife, there are right and wrong ways to lie to your children.

In this case, presents from "Santa" should be wrapped.

You should write a coffe table book.
At least sell a t-shirt with that on it.
