I'll get to that Christmas Eve. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279843 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:32:44 +0000 bhbee 1279843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put them all out except Santa gifts. I always liked seeing all the presents under the tree, makes it festive to me.</p> <p>but they are all in our gated area where LO can't touch them or they would get carried all over! (we also only have a tabletop tree this year) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279841 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:32:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 1279841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: That's my fear this year! The meddling! I think in future years, when he understands Santa, we'll probably put out the ones from to/from us and put out Santa gifts on Christmas Eve...maybe? I just remembered that we always travel for Christmas, so I'm not sure how to work that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279817 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:27:18 +0000 mrskc 1279817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually put them out right away but probably not this year since I don't want a little someone messing with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279808 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:25:45 +0000 knittylady 1279808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Santa's gifts appeared Christmas morning in my house. I plan on doing the same for DS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279807 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:25:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1279807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put them under the tree right away! When we have LOs I will wait to put Santas gifts out on Christmas Eve night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279791 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:22:08 +0000 Smurfette 1279791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything goes under the tree but Santa gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279772 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:18:13 +0000 mediagirl 1279772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't decided yet. :) In years past, I liked putting them all out before Christmas. Now that we have a kiddo around, I think I like the idea of having them all out on Christmas Day. Maybe when she gets a little older and the amazement of all the presents being there is lost a little, I'll put the "from mom and dad" presents out and just hide santa presents until Christmas Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279751 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:11:01 +0000 pui 1279751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wait until I have all the gifts and then wrap them all in one day. I don't have an LO yet so there are no Santa gifts!</p> <p>My mom used to put the presents under the tree around a week before Christmas, I think? Then all the presents from Santa would "appear" while we were asleep Christmas Eve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279750 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:10:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1279750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the first year we're doing Santa, but we're going to leave "his" big gifts unwrapped, and might wrap the smaller one. Everything from us gets wrapped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279748 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:10:18 +0000 swurlygurl 1279748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, I put them out right away. As soon as DD starts to become aware (2 or 3?) I'll probably wait until after she goes to bed on Christmas-Eve. It will be weird to not have everything under the tree for a whole month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/putting-out-christmas-presents#post-1279742 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:08:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 1279742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you do it as you buy/wrap them, or wait and put them all under on Christmas Eve? Or do you put out gifts to/from adults and gifts from Santa for Christmas Eve? </p>
