Things "Santa" learned this year

This was Lance and I's first year really having to sneak to play "Santa". So, we learned a few VERY IMPORTANT lessons.

1. NEVER wait to get the presents until the 22. Buy them as soon as she puts them in writing!!
2. Wrap before Christmas Eve
3. Pray a little harder that she is not sick so she is not up and down A LOT before we turn in. (We ended up having to hide the presents behind the couch so she couldn't see them)
4. Buy more than one roll of "Santa" paper.
5. More stocking stuff so she can see there is something in it and REALIZE that "Santa" had been there. HAHA

Which makes me think about a question that I always wonder about other people's traditions. As a child ALL of Santa's presents were wrapped, and Lance had them sitting out open. What is your thoughts on that. We have combined the two for our family, but I am always curious as to what others do.
