If we should just skip doing Santa and wrap everything. We did. It was so lame. We all felt a lost bit of magic that year. From then on my mom continued to do Santa for anyone still in the house. It's funny how traditions stick and make memories.

Gifts from Santa. Wrapped or not wrapped?

Santa is pro-environment so no wrapping

always wrapped, only way to meter the excitement. Unwrapped is like setting

Just give a few unwrapped from Santa and wrap the good ones from mom and dad

Our kids have always gotten 3 gifts from Santa like Jesus from the wisemen. We don’t wrap them. We wrap the ones

This kind of where my wife and I agreed upon doing Christmas for the kids

No. Assembled and unwrapped. It’s all about the kids reaction when they see it.

Hope you're up at 2 am when they see it for the first time.

I sleep at the top of the stairs to prevent this. My parents left it out

To each their own but at my house we've always wrapped. The slower we can take

Unwrapped and unassembled is what I was willing to do this year. Sorry kids

Santa brings stockings and games. Mom and dad give you the big stuff. If they’re small enough, they get wrapped.

Going entirely wrapped this year. Due to some circumstances we’re switching it up.

Yep, that would be 100% the opposite in my house. Traditions matter.
