In Your House, Does Santa Wrap Presents?

I’ll admit it, as much as I love the holidays, this year got away from me a bit and I found myself counting down the days left to organize the presents and get everything wrapped and tagged.

And then I heard something I had never heard before - “Santa doesn’t wrap presents.”

Really? How did I not know this?

Growing up, all mine and my brother’s gifts from Santa would be wrapped under the tree with an exception here and there (a dollhouse, a bike, etc …)

Come to think of it, no one I knew growing up had presents that weren’t wrapped. Or maybe they did and we just didn’t talk about such things on the playground.

But I digress.

When I was talking about all the wrapping I had to do, friends and co-workers alike were telling me Santa doesn’t wrap. He places the unwrapped toys under the tree and in one instance in front of the fireplace (I’m thinking maybe he skips the cookies here, dives in with presents and then jumps right out saving himself some time?)

So of course now I want to know what our readers think. In your house does Santa wrap all presents? Some presents? None? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Merry Christmas!
