there is a reason for wrapping presents.

it makes presentation pretty (depending on who wraps it - so not eric or ryan)

it adds a hint of mystery upon the excitement of receiving and opening the gift

it serves as a deterrent of feelings of inadequacy and jealousy because no one knows what anyone got anyone else until they open it, and hopefully not in front of parties whom you do not wish to see.

so when a present is placed underneath the Christmas tree, it really should not be poked or prodded or pondered until the designated time to open the present... some people just cannot wait the [now] less than 7 days to open gifts.

if the gift is under the tree, someone knows who put it there and will give the present accordingly [so no touching lorie or kimmie]

some people cannot help themselves. I recommend shock treatments using a 12 volt lantern battery attached to your left forefinger every time you feel the urge.

I hear that it also helps to get rid of stuttering (although I heard about a neat echo device that helps people stop stuttering)
