Will you wrap gifts from Santa?

If you are giving LO gifts from Santa, are you planning on wrapping them? Did Santa wrap your Christmas gifts when you were young?

    My parents wrapped our presents from Santa. Dh's parents' said Santa stuffed the stockings.  We're following dh's traditions for presents from Santa.

    No, santas presents are sat out unopened on Christmas Eve night. DH works again this year so I'm going to have to get him to put things together al leave them hid at my parents and get my dad to help me because DD is getting a bike and the boys big gift is an activity table. Last year I say up in the den because that's where the tree was. This year I have a tree in the den and living room and since they den is right at their bedrooms I think I'll do the living room. I'm very excited!

    I think my parents did it wrong, lol. All of my Christmas presents were from Santa, and they used the same wrapping paper to wrap gifts for other people, which led to me figuring it out early. I also remember asking them why they never bought me any Christmas presents, lol.

    Learning from their mistakes, yes I will wrap Santa presents, there will only be a couple, and they will be in different paper

    We had them wrapped with different paper. We plan to do this with Howie.

    Growing up, Santa never wrapped our presents. They were unwrapped and under the tree Christmas morning. My parents gave us gifts and those were wrapped.

    My husband had wrapped gifts from Santa. It's really important to him that we wrap them from Santa, so that is what we are going to do. Separate paper for the gifts from us.

    To answer my own questions...Gifts from Santa were never wrapped growing up. I remember a couple of arguments with my siblings about which gift was for who, and my mother would intervene and say 'I think Santa left that one for so and so', but we would disagree. They were left in piles around the tree, one for each of us, but there were sometimes questions about which gifts were in which pile if they were kind of on the edges.

    I'm still not sure if we're going to wrap gifts from Santa. I kind of like the idea of a Santa sack that was mentioned above.

    Yes and yes.    We will use different paper.   The little kitchen we won't wrap I will just put a bow on it for her.  I still get presents and a stocking from Santa :)

    Yes and yes. DD1 is very perceptive so I'll have to be super careful this year with different wrapping, gift tags, and hand writing.
