unwrapping then is a huge part of the fun. Someone will sit close to the tree and hand them out to everyone. We would take our time opening them. I liked watching my family open them so I would open some then watch everyone then open some more. When I was only about 4 or so mom said I had to eat before anything. She said I couldn't care less about the tree and gifts till I ate. She said I took my time eatting to. We still get the gifts with just our names on them. Those are the Santa gifts.

When I was a kid everything was wrapped and there were no "Santa" gifts or "parents" gifts. Im pretty sure they were all supposed to be from Santa. The only things that werent wrapped were things like bikes or "big" gifts which were usually hidden somewhere and I had to find them.

I never remember gifts from Santa except one year when my dad did the wrapping...I specifically remember getting a present from Kevin Klein. I think my dad got bored with the wrapping.

Yeah and the big gifts of course weren't wrapped.

I guess why I was so confused was this lady was having an argument about it with her husband(her son is just getting to the age where he understands xmas) and all the women against wrapping were so adament about it like it was ridiculous to even think that 'santa' gifts were wrapped.

Whatever...midwestern women.

Ya I used to get some "big" presents that went unwrapped from "santa".

It was awesome in my later years because my sister was still little, I'd sneak out after my parents went to bed and see what I got right away, haha. Once a ninja, always a ninja.

I liked getting stuff unwrapped and in my stocking cause that was shit we got right away while my parents got up, we could be busy with that while they made breakfast or something.

When I was a kid, Santa always left the gifts unwrapped and under the tree. My parents wrapped the gifts from them.

My ex was the first person I ever talked to that had gifts from Santa wrapped up. Just different schools of thought.

As a kid the "Really Special" stuff came from Santa and they were never wrapped. Setup and ready to rock! It also gave the parents time to wake up, make coffee etc while we played with the Santa presents.
Later, when I had little ones of my own, I realized how important that step was, since I er I mean Santa had been up until 4 fucking AM trying put all that stuff together and make sure everything worked the way it was supposed to. And then was up again at 5:30 for the BIG SURPRISE! Hell, the surprise was that I was conscious. By the time it came to opening presents from mere mortals the adults were awake enough to enjoy the fun.

Believe it, guy. Parents who dont wrap gifts from Santa are horrible parents. Bottom line. They should have their kids taken from them.
