we don't live in a big house, there's only one room in the east wing
and
one in the west.

where should I look.....

Under the beds in the spare bedrooms, kitchen cupboards, cupboard under
the
stairs, broom cupboard, anywhere you don't go (even avoid) normally.

Kitchen.

When I was a lad (sadly long ago) my parents bought me a full sized
wheelbarrow for Christmas. As there was no where to hide it they simply
put it in the hall and covered it with a sheet. I never noticed. So
perhaps you should look at the end of your nose!

At our house we had in Leicester I had a large garage. (Big enough for my
Jag AND my boat, THAT big) so I was the 'Santa's Store' for the neighbour's
big pressies like Bikes and Prams and such :-))

I was always busy on Christmas Evening dealing with Dads doing their thing
:-))
