When DS is older I'll wait until Christmas Eve to put his presents from Santa under the tree, but we'll put gifts from us to our SIL and nieces and things like that under early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458346 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:46:07 +0000 Turd Ferguson 458346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, always wrapped and under the tree! It looks so festive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458339 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:44:18 +0000 PastaAndPotato 458339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>right now its just me and the hubs, so the presents are going under the tree as they're wrapped (and the ones that have to go with us when we visit other people are packed in bags) - but when we were kids, my parents would put all of them out christmas eve when we were sleeping, so it was the big surprise in the morning when we came out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458282 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:23:53 +0000 purrpletulips 458282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was little all presents went under on Christmas Eve but as I got older they went under as they were bought. DH isn't letting anything be wrapped until Christmas Eve so currently no presents under the tree. The gifts from our babysitter are in my car trunk because DD really wants to open them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458245 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:15:08 +0000 .twist. 458245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: Seriously, what is the obsession about anyway?

DH thinks it's weird because his family always put them out on Christmas eve, even when they were grown ups. I put them out practically the day I buy them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458195 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:03:43 +0000 .twist. 458195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: Yep, ditto! My silly cat likes to eat ribbons and tear up paper so that doesn't get to happen for us unfortunately! </p> <p>I wish he'd stop because it makes me sad. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458130 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:34:26 +0000 Bookish 458130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I didn't have a cat, they would be under the tree now! Instead they are in the spare room and I will put them out after the cat is put away on Xmas eve lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458126 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:32:40 +0000 JerricaBenton 458126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we do, but when LO is here we will start putting them out after she goes to bed Christmas Eve. I like the look of some presents under the tree so we'll probably still put out the presents we're giving to family and friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458076 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:02:07 +0000 mediagirl 458076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are but as she gets older, I'll keep certain ones in hiding so she gets a surprise when she sees the presents under the tree when she wakes up in the morning!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458073 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:00:28 +0000 Alivoo01 458073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Presents go under the tree as they're wrapped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-458013 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:23:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 458013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been puting presents under the tree as they arrive but only because LO is too young to know anything about Christmas. Starting next year, we'll be hiding all the gifts from everyone so that Santa can bring them for Christmas morning. I used to love having the Christmas tree all by itself, and then having all the presents magically appear Christmas morning when I was little and I hope LO likes the magic of Christmas too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-457946 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 08:43:06 +0000 Grace 457946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Presents for other people and from other people go under the tree early, but presents for people from people that are part of the household go under on Christmas Eve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-457850 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 06:56:05 +0000 Andrea 457850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, ours go under the tree. DD has never seemed interested to get at them either. I guess they are still too young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-457814 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 06:17:50 +0000 Sweet T 457814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our presents are wrapped and stacked up on the coffee table. I grew up with presents under the tree before Christmas. We'll do the same once DS is a little older and understands that he can't unwrap them until Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-457790 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 05:19:10 +0000 BoogieBea 457790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our presents are under the tree too. My son was upset that he couldn't open them the first day, but now he doesn't even ask anymore. He knows they're for Christmas though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-457788 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 05:17:47 +0000 BelugaBean 457788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always gone somewhere for Christmas so we never put anything under the tree. However, I'm not sure what we'll do in the future since my parents did it on Christmas Eve and his put the presents under there as they bought them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-457772 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 04:22:43 +0000 Bao 457772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa brings the presents on Christmas Eve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-457755 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 03:11:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 457755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our presents are under the tree too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-keep-presents-under-the-tree-before-christmas-or-put-them-there-on-christmas-eve#post-457747 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 02:44:12 +0000 SweetMamaM 457747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, ours are under the tree.

There are 7 under there now, and I have a couple more to add. Amazingly, Charlie and Olive have not really touched the Christmas tree, and Charlie could care less about gifts so he leaves them alone!</p> <p>Are your presents out under the tree? </p>
