Hard to believe it's less than week to Christmas. (Actually, it's hard to believe that it's been seven months – happy birthday Pace, by the way – since time last had any semblance of meaning.)
Anyhew, here's another fun Ask Metafilter question on a Christmas theme.
As best as I remember, at our house, the Santa gifts were wrapped, often in the same paper as our other gifts and with tags written in my dad's handwriting. (Even with big red flags like that, I don't think I still ever caught on to the whole Santa thing although that was probably a case of willful ignorance as much as anything. Of course, I'm also the type of person who never sees the twist coming in movies either nor tries to figure them out.)
Interestingly, it was the same guy who clued me into the Santa thing on the playground in kindergarten or grade one who also made me stop believing in god a few years later. I'll save that story for another day though…
