You weren't on the old TWF, but this place almost didn't get made because I almost got a permanent vacation from the original TWF for posting a picture of an oven cooked baby that was made to look like it was a thanksgiving/christmas turkey.

Nope, missed out on that. I will tell you though that this picture is saved, and if your number is ever in my phone as a contact and you call me, this is the picture that will pop up. It's that awesome.

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.

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

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.

Yeah, plus I was really young when I found out about the lie that is Santa, so everything was pretty much just a show for my sister and she didn't last that long after I found out. So, our presents became wrapped and all from Mom and Dad pretty quick.

Nope, I'm right there with you

How the feck are you gonna wrap a bicycle? A wagon? An Atari? (DAMN I'm old)

My "santa" gifts were always out, charged, ready to play with the second I woke up.

1/2 the presents were from mom, the other half "Santa"

Once I admitted I didn't believe (I knew when I was little, but knew the booty would diminish once I admitted it) everything was wrapped.

Once my youngest admits it, all three kids will get everything wrapped, but as it stands, they each get a few things from “santa”…open and ready to go under the tree

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.
