I put most of our presents under the tree last night! I told the kids that they were props for a photoshoot (which is true) so they have left them alone! 
They're each going to get one gift from Santa which I'll wrap in different paper and put under the tree after they go to bed on Christmas Eve.
When do you put presents under the tree?

Presents from my brother go under the tree when they arrive. The rest come out Christmas eve after our daughter is asleep!

Whenever I wrap them (so they're there now). Present from Santa and stockings will go out Christmas Eve.

I am putting her stocking in her room when she is asleep on Christmas eve. I think I will also place her presents in her room for her to find when she wakes up (our tree is tiny!)

I usually put presents out as they arrive or as I wrap them. But since DS likes to unwrap everything is in the closet until he goes to bed on Christmas Eve.
Santa gifts always go out Christmas Eve.

Currently I've just put them all under the tree as sub as I wrapped them. When DD is older I'll start only putting them under the tree the night of Christmas Eve.

I put them all under the tree this year as soon as we put up the tree. I have a feeling it may never happen again once he figures out what presents are!

I typically put them under the tree as I wrap them, including Santa presents, but this year they're wrapped and not going out until just days before Christmas. Between the cat and my 15 month old they'd get destroyed.

Christmas Eve after the kids are sleeping. 
my mom used to wrap and put the presents under the tree in the same night. Not happening

I only had one wrapped, I set it out while I was putting the lights up and this happened -
So they'll be going out Christmas Eve until they learn not to unwrap!!

I've always put them under the tree as I manage to get them wrapped. This year with a very curious 16 month old, I'm not sure how that's going to work out.

I wrapped the first 2 last night. If they manage to stay intact, I'll wrap the rest. If not, it'll be a crazy wrapping day on the 22nd (the day before we leave for the ILs).

As they are wrapped and when stockings begin to fill they are topped with tissue paper.

I have presents for other folks under the tree already. I involve my son in selecting and bagging.
His stuff from Santa and us will come out Christmas Eve night.

I usually put presents for family under the tree when I wrap them, till we go to see them. This year leaving nothing under the tree cause I know LO would get into them. Christmas Eve night after we get home, we will put our presents to each other (DH and I) out and then leave Santa gifts out.

I don't trust DD to not open them, so they will all go under the tree on Christmas Eve. But, we honestly haven't even bought/wrapped anything yet...so that isn't even a problem for us right now! ha.

I put everything under the tree as I wrap, except the dog's gifts because he always sniffs them out and opens them immediately.
When LO is older we'll probably only put extended family gifts under the tree early and put hers under Christmas eve.

@StbHisMrs: Oooohhhh no! Mischievous kids!
Everything that isn't from Santa goes out as I get it. I'll put out presents for friends and family, and also the presents from us (clothes, shoes, etc).

They're already under the tree! Except for the gifts from Santa... they'll go out on Christmas Eve. We told Sadie not to mess with them, so she doesn't.

I set them out when I wrapped them, luckily LO knows "they are for family" and not her and she has left them alone. I was proud of her being 2 and having self control

Right now, as we purchase them! Next year T will be 22 months so We will wait until Christmas Eve after he goes to bed because we will be doing Santa. He's too young to know any different now!

DH insists we not put any presents under the tree until kids are in bed Christmas Eve (frustration is that he also doesn't feel a need to wrap until Christmas Eve). Our newfoundland thinks under our tree is a great napping place so while I'd like to put them under it is probably better we don't.

I put them out as soon as I wrap them. It might be different once I have a LO.

We put presents under the tree as we get them and any presents for the kids from us went under the tree a few days ago. They sit there and tease them until Christmas morning. Santa presents go under the tree Christmas eve after the kids go to bed.

Presents from parents go under as soon as they are wrapped. Presents from Santa go by the fireplace after kids are asleep on Christmas Eve.

All gifts to/from our family are placed under the tree as soon as they are wrapped.
Gifts from Santa are unwrapped, in front of the fireplace along with filled stockings.

This year I've just been putting them under the tree as I wrap them. DS is only 16 months so really doesn't understand Santa or Christmas yet.
But next year I will probably wait until Christmas Eve when he goes to bed to put them under the tree.
