Do you put presents under the tree before Christmas, so that everyone can have the delightful feeling of anticipation for several days?

Same exact thing at our house too Evelyn, but with my kids, they have no impulse control and would be sneaking when I wasn't looking and it would spoil all the fun for Christmas morning.
I have had to even find better hiding places, because they just can't help themselves.
Heck, we didn't even put up the Christmas tree til Wednesday night, decorated Thursday morning.
I put all the presents under the tree.
Haha I can relate to the wanting to get more of "their obsession." I let the kids open the presents that are mailed to us and just today as I was opening the box, I explained to him that Santa was bringing Transformers and the enjoy whatever "aunt so and so sent." Otherwise he has been known to freak if it was not a transformer in the past. He sometimes gets very obsessed with wanting a 1,000 of them.....
Since he already owns a million I bought him one Transformer, and a few bionicles for Christmas. Then the rest of the stuff was "different," I got him things that he has interest in, but won't buy due to his fear of not getting a transformer. Hope it does not backfire on me, but I am trying to "branch him out slightly."
No Way!!! Nothing under the tree here until just about time to open them!!!!
