That's where we differ, I think. We never really made a big deal of it at my house, but there were usually presents. The phones still rang a lot during the day though, so people were working the lines on and off.
[ that's a start and better than half the game. so when they arrived at the tree they just sort of drop straight down to the ground and begin sifting through presents before they find a small one and wiggling it at her. ]
You think I had time to do that? Of course not, this is just Christmas magic. [ they are obviously kidding, but they also pull out a small box for themselves. ] Why else would there be one for me, too?

[following after them! off to the tree.
she probably knows about presents going under them but why would she be looking at them herself.]
no subject
Look what I found. [ a present? for her? gasp. ]
no subject
[she takes it from them, squinting down at the present...]
Oh, you snuck it in just now, huh? Cute.
