There is a little something that Mr. Husband and I have fought about for a very long time. I thought we had resolved the battle last year, but it seems to have come back to life again this holiday season. It is of the utmost of importance that we come to an agreement on the issue, because the fighting is seriously getting ridiculous.

One of us is under the impression that Santa wraps his gifts and the other one of us thinks that Santa does not wrap his gifts.

I'm not saying which one of us believes what because I do not want to sway you into knowing which one of us is right. Yes, only one of us can be right. It's vital to the serenity in our marriage. (I know I have had this discussion with some of you before, so do me a favor and don't hint to what you know about who is on which side, mmkay?)

The argument is as follows:

Person A, who says YES Santa wraps gifts, is of the opinion that part of the fun of presents is opening them. He or she believes that Santa makes sure that toys are taken out of their packages as necessary, but that he then finds the perfect box for them so he can wrap them in paper that CLEARLY did not come from House 'o Burgh Baby. Person A says that Santa is magical and can instantly wrap even the oddest of shapes, although his wrapping skills are not quite on the level of Martha Stewart.

Person B, who says NO Santa does not wrap, believes that since Santa and his elves make all of the gifts, they never make it to the assembly line where they are packaged as if a national secret is dependent on that Little Person not shifting so much as a quarter inch to the left. Person B maintains that Santa doesn't have time to wrap, so he leaves the gifts fully assembled around the base of the Christmas tree.

So, prove I'm right, please and thank you.
