Near the Christmas tree or fire place. Remember that in the 1800 there was not any where near the concentration on presents as there is today. Christmas was a religious festival rather then an exercise in marketing. In the Netherlands for instance Saint Nicolas (not Santa clause) came on the fifth of December for the children and left Christmas alone as a religious time and a time for friends and family to get together
