Presents

When the kids were young it was fun hiding Christmas presents on them.  We had a large attic that had pull down steps.  After buying the presents I waited until they went to school to wrap all the presents, put them in a box and drag them up two flights of steps to hide them.  They were all in one spot so nothing got forgotten.  So every Christmas Eve it was tradition, Dad would take the kids to look at all the decorations on the houses.  He had instructions to stay away for at least an hour.  While they were gone, I would get the box from the attic and drag it to the basement, three flights of steps.  Upon their return home we discussed all the lights and I watched those three kids to be sure they didn't go anywhere near the basement.  After getting all three kids settled in their beds for the night, I would drag the box back up the stairs and wait until there were no sounds coming from the kids and put all the presents under the tree.  By this time I was exhausted.  Santa's job was done, for this year......
