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. shinymama on "When do you put presents under the tree?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-put-presents-under-the-tree#post-1988449 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 12:31:03 +0000 shinymama 1988449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All gifts to/from our family are placed under the tree as soon as they are wrapped.

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. artsyfartsy on "When do you put presents under the tree?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-put-presents-under-the-tree#post-1988085 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:53:12 +0000 artsyfartsy 1988085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Right now, as we purchase them!
