I am on your side on this one, but that isn't an argument we are going to win with.

Hmm touche bojangle. Anyways Santa brings wrapped presents. End of story.
 
Look, Santa, if I'd wanted you to have a Coke I would have left it out with the damn cookies. Get out of my fridge!

:rulz:

Yes, because if Coke says it, it must be so. :)

Well since they basically invented the modern version and interpretation of Santa, yes.
But if you don't like Coke, we can go with one where everybody wins:

I should add, I think the presents should be wrapped and there are plenty of pictures with the pictures wrapped, I was just saying we aren't gonna win the picture debate.

Also, I think the pictures are cooler when they aren't wrapped, but santa is also always delivering old school wooden toys and such.
 
No, actually, I was referring to the fact that they basically created that interpretation of Santa. I wasn't really being sarcastic.

But remember, I don't think my parents are morons for not wrapping my Santa gifts, either. :) (This part is sarcastic.)

Ah. Well we are on the same page here - just disagree about wrapping vs. not wrapping and, imagine this, we both agree with our childhood experiences.
 
I can honestly say this topic is one that my wife and I fight about each year. I am so pissed at myself for giving in the first time when we had kids, because now they are unwrapped and there is no going back. This topic should really be up there on the "choosing a mate" checklist. Way ahead of religion or smoking or coke/pepsi.
 
Unwrapped was the best. Nothing better than storming down the stairs all at once (after parents had set everything up wrt to camera/tree lights/etc.), and then running to a pile of awesomeness and trying to digest it all at once. So many things to sort out and be happy about, just pure jubilation. This would really take about 30 minutes, then we'd all do a family breakfast w/ cinnamon buns and hot chocolate and stuff. After that we'd come back to all the wrapped presents under the tree from the parents/siblings and distribute then go around opening one at a time. Christmas would easily last until lunch time with this method. Then you had plenty of time to play w/ all your new shit the rest of the day.
 
We were an unwrapped family. We would actually open most of our stuff on Christmas eve. We would go to my maternal grandparents in the morning, open stuff, then we would go to the lovefeast, and then do dinner at my paternal grandparents house with a few more gifts. We then did Santa at home on Christmas morning,so basically no presents got unwrapped at home. I think it is pretty funny that however you did it as a kid is the only right way for everyone.

pretty much. except change pecan waffles back to cinnamon buns.
 
Why the hell would Santa wrap presents? Its not like Santa's presents are sitting under the tree for a couple of weeks before x-mas and need to be wrapped to prevent you from finding out what they are.

Yep, pretty much exactly ours too (but breakfast of monkey bread, sausage and egg casserole, and grits). Santa/stockings, breakfast, family presents (opened one at a time to see what everyone got), playing with friends, then good family friends come over for dinner and to play games, etc.
