The elves wrap the presents and use subatomic particle transportation to get the presents to the bag for each house.

The bigger question is how they get around the lawyers with all the cloning of other IP that they pull off. Apple's, Sony, Samsung, all made under one roof.

Assemble then wrap. Or wrap disassembled.

Maybe the elves aren't building at all and are in partnership as a manufacturer. Apple, Samsung etc look at it as a marketing opportunity.

You have kids 25 and 3?? My oldest just turned 17 and I might actually die if I had to raise a new baby now


That's what sometimes happens when a divorced man in his 30s meets a 19 year old that he falls for LOL

First wife and I had one child, he's now 25, his best friend moved in with us when they were 15 and we pretty much raised him, so I consider him a son as well. Current wife and I have two kids of our own and have officially adopted two others. The youngest is our daughter, she was 2 when we adopted her, so no baby stage there, our youngest natural is 7 .

We're actually discussing adopting another child. Nothing more gratifying then changing a child's life for the better.

I remember getting an RC dune buggy and couldn't play with it because the batteries had to charge. Total bummer


Same thing happened to me. It had to charge 6 or 8 hours.

put all needed batteries and set-up whatever need to be assembled for the sake of being able to play ASAP.


Great advice.

If my girl is going to bang Santa he better at least have it wrapped.

Santa wraps in his own special paper at our house. I grew up with wrapped.

Kiddo is 9.5 and still seems to truly believe in the tooth fairy, elf on the shelf, Santa, etc. I can’t imagine it’ll last much longer.

I appreciate that. We just love kids and right from the beginning the wife told me she wanted 4 or 5 at least so I better get my old arse to work LOL but then we did more discussions and decided why bring more kids into the world when there are kids already here that need a family? Our 3 year old, she actually witnessed her dad kill her mom. That's how she got into the system.

That shite bag is in prison hopefully for the rest of his lire, but has no idea where she is, and never will. That was rough, it was six months before she'd even really give me any sort of affection. She'll almost certainly need counseling when she gets older.

Santa... Wrapped or Unwrapped?

Wrapped, but in a different wrapping paper. Been using elf on the shelf paper for Santa gifts since little one thinks her elf's reports to Santa determine how many gifts she gets.

Parents always wrapped our Santa gifts growing up too.

Also, how long do kids pretend to believe hoping it gets them more presents?

Me and my sister found out about our youngest sister not believing anymore before our parents did. So we got her to keep pretending that she believed in Santa so we would all get more presents. Worked for another 2 years before our parents caught on

Sounds like she's in the right family now though. Prayers sent for y'all.

Parents wrapped

Santa unwrapped

Thank about it, its way less work if most of the presents come from Santa. Wrapping presents can get time consuming.

This is our first Christmas with our foster children who we hope to adopt in 6 months. We are so excited to see their faces on Christmas morning! The grandparents are even more excited and have spent a small fortune on them.

Santa doesn't wrap. He just displays.

She's daddy's girl now. Took a lot of patience but we're in a good place now.

This is her second Christmas with us and last year she'd only been here about 6 weeks and was , as you would expect, reluctant to do a lot of things, no Santa, she didn't really request any gifts, stayed to herself during family times , etc etc. Totally different story this year. She's ready for Santa has a wish list at least as long as the other kids and joins in all family fun.

She says wrapped, I say unwrapped. She won.

I'm still team unwrapped though. To me, it's much more magical for a kid to wake up with the house looking like a toy store rather than a stack of wrapped presents.

My house exactly. Santa uses that thick fancy paper too. Santa isn't the one buying that shite though.
