When do your Christmas gifts go under the tree?

**homesteadmamma** · 11-17-2003, 09:53 AM

My tree usually goes up around the 10th and as soon as it goes up, I put some gifts under it. We don't do the Santa thing here, so the kids don't expect gifts from Santa. They love to watch and check the tags while I'm putting them under the tree.

How about you?

Just being Jack and I, gifts for the extended family go under as I wrap them. Jack and I put our gifts to each other under the tree Christmas Eve. My cats gifts go under Christmas morning, if they went under the tree any earlier, there wouldn't be anything left of them!

The gifts I buy for the extended family go under the tree as soon as I wrap them, but most of the stuff for the kids go under Christmas Eve.

For extended family,soon as they are wrapped. We wrap a few for the kids and put them under the tree and everything else goes under Christmas Eve when Santa comes...:santa:

Ours are placed under the tree on Christmas Eve.

I usually put them under as soon as I buy them and wrap them.

We put everything under the tree as it's wrapped, although next year we'll start saving Maria's gifts until Santa delivers them Christmas morning. Our tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving.

I put the gifts under the tree as I get them wrapped - more later than sooner. DD gets a few things from us under the tree and the rest are sitting out Christmas morning. We open everything Christmas morning unless she's driving me crazy and then I will let her open one small gift on Christmas eve.

I decorated my tree tonight..... so what I have wrapped so far is under it.... I have a set of 3 alpines I put gifts for extended family and friends, if they mixed withg ours, I always seem to have one or two that didn't get delivered .....

I usually put everything under as it is wrapped. I save a few for the boys on Christmas morning being as we open on Christmas Eve.

My tree goes up the day after thanksgiving and the gifts go under as they are wrapped. We no longer do the santa thing with the boys being grown.
I love to watch the pile grow! Although this year they are a bit pricier gifts so the pile won't be as large as normal!

We usually put up the tree the second weekend in December...the gifts don't go out till Christmas eve....and stockings get filled right before I go to bed on Christmas eve...dh and I open our gifts to each other after breakfast Christmas morning and then a little later the kids come over for dinner and open their gifts

We usually put the tree up around the 10th as well. The gifts go under it as I wrap em. Not gonna be nearly as many gifts this year, we're really paring down on that.

We put gifts under as we get them....our tree is always up before Katie's birthday ~ tradition - I made sure that I had the tree up before I went to the hospital that year....so every year it has to be up before her b-day!
