5 more days! As DS put it yesterday that's just "one hand" left :)

So..my question for you is, when Santa visits your house, does he wrap every present or leave them unwrapped under the tree?


At our house, the big gifts are unwrapped and assembled ready to go. Smaller gifts are all wrapped up.
 
Here, everything is wrapped, except most of the stuff in the stockings (we'll wrap a DVD or something), and if they have something big, we assemble it for them.
 
Santa doesn't wrap his presents since they come in his bag (they usually get one big present from Santa and one or two little gifts), but we wrap presents from Mommy and Daddy. Stocking stuff doesn't get wrapped either since it comes from Santa.
 
Santa doesn't leave presents under the tree at our house, he fills the stockings, and they're usually all unwrapped.
 
Santa leaves the stockings and some of it is wrapped. This year there was just ONE gift Luke asked Santa for, so he's leaving that, too. It will be wrapped way different than anything else- in gold wrapping paper and a big gold & white bow.
 
Santa leaves the filled stocking and all his other presents (unwrapped) on the couch or chair, not under the tree.
 
Santa's gifts are wrapped, except the stocking. The gifts from mom & dad come in cloth bags that we reuse every year
 
Well, if its something big, we don't wrap it. But, all the gifts are from Santa at our house, except what they get on Christmas Eve. I figure there is plenty of time for them to be from us after they stop believing.
 
When my kids were little, Santa never wrapped his presents. It saved me a lot of work and the kids knew that only the wrapped presents were from family and friends. =)
 
The big gifts from Santa aren't wrapped (just left under the tree & assembled if needed) and neither are the presents in their stockings which are also from Santa, all the other gifts are from Mommy and Daddy and they are wrapped.
 
Definitely unwrapped. I never knew that Santa wrapped presents at some kids houses until I was out shopping for gift wrap with a friend and she told me I couldn't buy it to use for the gifts I was going to give her kids. I was totally confused. I think by the time Santa flew over to my house he had run out of time and we were lucky there was something there when we woke up. If we had to wait for him to wrap it we probably would have just ended up with socks. LOL!
 
Santa wraps all our gifts. I don't have kids of my own so I can only speak from my past growing up. But all the gifts at my parents house, my house, my SO parents house are all wrapped. (OMG the amount of paper we waste! Now I feel bad thinking about it.)
My parents always wrapped all the gifts...except for big gifts like bikes and stuff. And they always wrap in 2 different wrapping papers, one for my brother and one for me. They still do it.
 
my kids do not believe in santa anymore but when they were little everything was wrapped and any big stuff was assembled christmas day after the kids unwrapped it.
 
When I was growing up, everything was wrapped, except for maybe a few things in the stocking, or any large gifts, like bicycles and such.

Now, for Kylie, I wrap everything. My mom used to give us a gift to open on Christmas Eve and I give one to Kylie also, and that gift is from us. Everything else is from Santa.
 
Santa wraps everything except BIG items like Bikes or TV's. Christmas for us is going to be Tuesday morning. We are leaving for St. George Utah on the 24th and DH decided finally that we were going to do Christmas Early instead of making the kids wait til we get home on the 30th. I am soooo happy about this! We also have to decide what presents grandpa and grandma are giving them and bring them along with us to St. George. We purchased a 5 piece luggage set just for this occasion. Crazy!
 
Everything is usually wrapped- but this year I really want to put the kids big gifts together so they can play with them right away. I'll stick a big bow on them or something like that.
 
Everything gets wrapped. I slacked a bit this year because I usually use a different paper for the Santa presents. I didn't bother since I'm just not feeling the Christmas thing right now. :(
 
We usually wrap everything, but this year, we are going to leave DS's drum set unwrapped and leave it in our bedroom, then bring it out when he's done opening his other gifts. I can't wait!! :D lol
 
Santa wraps the gift and stocking stuff (except candy, fruit, etc) in his special Santa paper that looks nothing like mommy's paper. :D

We do this too! lol When I was growing up my mom always bought the wrapping paper that had like the Classic Santa on it...it always looked different and she always told us that was Santa's special paper made just for him at the North Pole...so I still do that with my kids too :).
 
All wrapped except for stocking stuffs, and some big presents are put together ready to play with under the tree.
 
most things are wrapped. big gifts from 'santa' and the stocking stuffers are unwrapped. this year, the unwrapped is Aidan's train table that i will be up all night putting together, lol, and the girls' dollhouse. fun times ahead for me.....

i'm getting me a cordless little drill to use on that train table. i'm NOT sitting there with a freaking screwdriver putting it together :D
 
Everything here is wrapped (same when I was a kid), unless it's something piddly in the stocking.
As far as a gift from Santa, DH is insisting we do this, although I personally don't see the point...we didn't do Santa when I was a kid...but he won out. He got some special Santa paper for the Santa gift...and of course I'll be the one wrapping that up.
 
Most everything is wrapped but some of the bigger items will be left unwrapped or I put them in our big Santa bag. :)
 
Everything is wrapped except stocking stuff. Santa has his own paper here as well. :)

This year, the kids picked out a roll of wrapping paper each at walmart and all their stuff (except for the one gift from Santa, obv) is in their wrapping paper. Saved me a lot of tagging. :D I think we'll do that again.
