    We don't wrap Santa presents. I have 3 children and they each have a red sack we leave out on Christmas Eve for Santa to put in the presents. We do have presents under our tree from friends and family and these are wrapped. My children open their Santa presents in the morning and we unwrap the presents under the tree in the evening.

    Oh but i love cooking the xmas dinner! it's the best meal of the year. Plus I think I'd have a revolt on my hands if I suggested a xmas day buffet. in fact, I might suggest it just for a bit of fun lol.

    i wouldnt want a buffet on the day its a cop out! Xmas dinner is no different to doing a roast and there is so much you can prepare too in advance.

    Cop out! Other people manage.

    eh? not sure why you've quoted me here red devil. I've said that I love doing the xmas dinner and fully intend to. I was joking about suggesting a buffet.

    Christmas isn't about Turkey and wrapping paper! It's about family and good times whatever they are to you and your family

    You are right, It makes interesting reading to see what everyone else does. Christmas for me is about a family meal (roast for us) and my kids madly tearing off wrapping paper.
