Unwrapped. Santa doesn't have time to wrap.

wrapped, I love wrapping presents and watching little kids unwrap them. Larger Items, I will leave unwrapped but will put a bow on them.

The big gift, unwrapped b/c it's well, too big.
The others wrapped, b/c that's half the fun! DS is 3.5 so he LOVES to open/unwrap. I wouldn't dream of not letting him, kwim?

Large items are wrapped, but not little things in the stockings. My stepmother wrapped every little thing in our stockings growing up and it made me nuts.

I wrap but I HATE IT. My sister used to wrap in newspaper because it was better for the environment. I used to get ink all over my hands! I think as a child part of the excitement was unwrapping and the element of surprise but the environmentalist in me wants to not wrap anymore!
Imagine how much good it would do if EVERYONE stopped wrapping!

Gifts from Santa come unwrapped, including the stocking. Although we've decided that the big ones will have helium balloons attached. DD LOVES balloons so we thought it would be neat.

Wrapped, but in paper different from any other under the tree. Because Santa wouldn't have the same paper we do, would he?

Santa does not wrap gifts...it's in the Santa Historical Book on page 45
 I wrap the gifts from us but Santa does not do that and leaves them out in the open. The kids sneak downstairs at whateverawfulearly hour in the a.m. to see what he got them and while they try to contain their squealing, it doesn't work. From a practical view...it gives them something to play with ASAP while I drink my first cuppa. LOL!
