Growing up, all the gifts from Santa were unwrapped. My sister and I each had separate piles (and still do) - otherwise there would be too much wailing, scratching, and kicking (at least back then)! We knew that Mom and Dad bought the wrapped presents and Santa brought the unwrapped ones. I liked having that distinction, though eventually that's what made me figure out the truth about Santa. As I got older, I got more curious and would ask Mom about every item, "Is this one from you or from Santa?" Eventually, the truth became obvious.
