How interesting. I was just wondering about kids who had their stockings at the foot of their beds. Did other kids you know have the same thing? Unwrapped and everything?

In Greece, Santa brings presents on New Years Eve.. :santa-smiley:
and we always find them under the Christmas tree, when the clock strikes twelve..
Santa always left our gifts unwrapped under the christmas tree! we also had stockings!
Do you open any presents Christmas morning?:presents3:Quote:

I always wrapped the gifts for my kids and they always had a stocking.
We always had a stocking full of fruit and candy hanging over the fireplace, and gifts were wrapped under the :christmastree:
We find them under the fir tree. But kids used to find a candy in the stocking for the whole Christmas season until the Three Kings:elf3:
Gifts were always placed under the tree - wrapped - by Santa
Always under the tree :elf3:
hmm, I have different recollections of Christmas from when I was a child. I remember Santa leaving one or two little gifts, unwrapped, for each of us four children, on the hearth in front of the fireplace. But then, I can also remember opening wrapped presents under the tree that said, 'from Santa." The only gift that I can actually remember from Santa (which was on the hearth) was a 'complexion' brush. I got a pink one and my sister got a blue one. (or maybe it was the other way around) It was neither my favorite or least favorite gift, so I don't know why I happen to remember that particular present. Anyway, it was a soft bristle brush that you used to wash your face.
The gifts are always under and surrounding the tree.
I stopped believing in Santa one month before I turned five. I don't remember any unwrapped gifts in my bedroom or under the tree(except what was hidden in the attic, and Sis said we weren't supposed to find even though we did). We didn't do stockings. I think all the gifts were from Santa before that, but who remembers trying to read gift tags before you can read?
:gelf:
All ours were put under the tree...:tree1:
Under the tree, but I never saw Santa putting them there....Maybe he will come this Christmas...
:elf2:
under the tree
In my house, the gifts were always under the tree, and the stockings were always in the living room as well.
I know my mother used to tell me that when she was a child they hung their stockings at the foot of the bed. I'm not sure why she changed it when she had her own kids.
I remember the kids down the street from us always got their presents from Santa in their bedrooms.
I personaly think the living room is better. I would be afraid of waking a child putting gifts in the bedroom. You might have to do some fancy explaining.
Santa places my gift on the floor near the door of my room... one time he hang it on wall... hehe :presents3:
Santa always put presents under the christmas tree.
But nowadays Santa is very upset because Filou the cat and Louna the dog love to steal them and runaway with them. Very difficult to be a santa claus in my house LOL !:tree1:
Ha! I can almost imagine happening what youre saying... Well, I bet you must have a lot of laughs...Quote:
