Re: Are your presents under your tree?

No. They go under in Xmas eve. We did it his way even before kids. They can't go out before Santa brings them. Lol. I thought of putting them out because my girls obviously won't have a clue but I decided to put them out Xmas eve like tradition.

I have EVERY gift we bought for everyone else wrapped and under the tree and we've always done it that way. My DD is now 4 and honestly pays no attention to them (and never has) because she knows they aren't for her. She doesn't care one bit about the pile of gifts under there.

We put out all of DD's gifts from Santa Xmas Eve night after she is asleep in bed. She doesn't get to see them before then because for one, I think it would be a tease and for two, it would make NO sense to have them under the tree since Santa doesn't deliver gifts until Xmas Eve night. And we do all Santa gifts, no Mommy and Daddy gifts. Chat Icon





This is what i do...but my dh and i open are gifts christmas morning as well...i just wrap them in different paper so the ones from santa stand out

Nope. We put out all the gifts from "Santa" on Christmas Eve after DD goes to bed. And all the other gifts I buy for people are wrapped and kept in piles in our office.

Re: Are your presents under your tree?

We too wait until Christmas Eve. I wish I could put out some of the OOS presents, but I know a 2 & 4 1/2yo wouldn't wait.

I LOVE the excitement of Santa & Christmas morning, but hiding the stuff prior & waiting to wrap until we get closer is a PITA!

No, they won't go under the tree until after she goes to bed on Christmas Eve. I may put out family and friends before though (once i wrap them!)

No way! Presents go under the tree Christmas Eve night after kids are asleep. That is how it was done when I was growing up as well.

No way. I haven't even taken them out of the boxes they were shipped in. I really have to do that.

I wish! I love the look of presents under the tree. But DD would rip right into them, so no presents under the tree yet.

The only presents under the tree are those that the kids picked out and wrapped themselves. All others are from Santa.

Gifts that we've bought so far are wrapped and under the tree. DD is 2 and once she was told she shouldn't touch it, she backed off and doesn't even bother. She looks at it each day and says "ooooh...that's pretty" and goes on her merry way.



this.

DD is 16 months...she doesnt even touch the tree. she just points and gets excited when she sees the disney ornaments.
