1. We never wrapped Santa gifts - just family ones.
2. We always hung stockings with their names.
3. Stockings were stuffed with unwrapped items
4. Usually one large unwrapped gift from Santa under the stocking with their name.
When they were teens and wanted clothes, we would hang them on a new hanger from the stocking. Then the small children still had the wonder.
The eldest was 20 and still wanted this and the youngest was 10 and still thought Santa brought his "Pong" game. The youngest is over 40 now and still remembers the magic of that last year of believing Santa brought all that for him, a magical time.
