POLL: Does Santa wrap presents??
I just saw this poll and it got me thinking...I never knew that some people don't wrap their Christmas Presents and just put them under the tree unwrapped. I must have led a sheltered life 
, but Santa ALWAYS wrapped presents and put them under the tree.
Do you wrap all of your presents? Does "Santa" do fun tricks at your house for presents or just leave them unwrapped for the kiddies to find?

Re: POLL: Does Santa wrap presents??
We were told that Santa's Elvs wrapped all of the presents. Still to this day there are presents wrapped under the tree from "Santa" and we are all in our twenties!!
My Mom just can't give it up! 
I think every family does it differently. My parents never wrapped any gifts, they were all from Santa and unwrapped. Our tree was always in the foyer, so there wasn't really room to put the presents underneath. Since we celebrate Christmas and Hannukah, my parents got our Hannukah gift since Santa got us Christmas gifts :-)
DH's step-mom wraps all gifts and still does a Santa tag too, even though I'm the youngest in the family and I'm 25. We get presents from everyone in the family, including the dog and the cat, from them. lol
Santa didn't wrap gifts and didn't put them under the tree. He set them up all over the couch! And since we didn't have a fireplace, my stocking would be there too.
Gifts from mom and dad were wrapped and under the tree.
I think the same thing happened in our house as in stephm's- one year the "Santa" writing in my letter from Santa & on the gift tags looked an awful lot like my dad's rather distinctive writing (which is the neatest, most elegant style of writing I've ever seen by a guy).
When I was a child all the Santa gifts were wrapped and under the tree.
Now that I have children, Santa's gifts are in the stocking unwrapped and all the real presents are under the tree wrapped. Heck, Santa isn't gettin' credit for all the cool toys, are you kidding! He only gets credit for the stocking stuffers. LOL
Wow, I've never ever heard of unwrapped presents, so I'm amazed at how many people replied that theirs were unwrapped!!
Santa wrapped my presents--and yes, I still get stuff from Santa.
And Mom had different wrapping paper for Dad than Santa had for me.
Ours were always wrapped. I think my mom would have my dad sign the Santa ones, so it was different handwriting than hers on the ones from the parents. I never noticed the wrapping paper, though, so it was probably the same and I was too excited to notice!
