Question Those of you with kids...

A friend was saying on FB that presents from 'santa' aren't supposed to be wrapped.


I don't get it. I never rememeber getting gifts from santa as a kid, there were just gifts. But ALL the gifts were ALWAYS wrapped.

I always thought unwrapping the gifts was 90% of the fun of Christmas morning. Am I missing something???

The gifts from Santa are always wrapped. We always had one big gift that was unwrapped. I believe that one was to get us to shut the hell up and give mom a bit more time to sleep. LOL.

My toy presents from Santa weren't wrapped, they weren't even in a box anymore. Santa always took everything out and set everything up. Batteries were charged and in the stuff, nothing needed to messed with because Santa had it all ready for you. I thought it was awesome to come into the living room and find all your stuff ready to be played with immediately. If I got clothes or something else like that, they were wrapped.

Once my younger sister found out there was no Santa, the presents became wrapped and from the parents.

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.

Same, for the most part. They weren't set up, but they were unwrapped and on a chair or something in front of the tree waiting for me.

It was to differentiate santa from mom and dad..

I guess we are the only ones. Santa always left our gifts out, fully assembled, ready to play with.
All the gifts from the parents were wrapped, so there were plenty to un-wrap.
