When I was a kid, regular paper. I think I asked once, and my mom said something like, "Santa has a lot of gifts to wrap and sometimes he asks moms and dads to help," or something. Eh, I was like three. Worked for me!
I'm sure she was really all, "Ain't nobody got time for that!"

Growing up Santa stuff was always unwrapped but tagged (even though it was easy to figure out who's was whose). We were also allowed to get into anything from santa as soon as we woke up, but we had to make my parents tea before they'd get out of bed to open the rest.
I'm sticking with that. Well, at least the unwrapped from Santa part.

Most of the things that come from H and I go into Christmas gift bags that we use year after year until they rip or get too beat up to use. When my parents moved years ago my mom gave me a crap-ton of wrapping paper that is ugly and not my style, but it makes decent Santa paper.
Right now Em's are wrapped in whatever - she's too young anyway. Once she's old enough I'll use different papers.
My mom used to print her labels "To: Bob Love: Santa". And they looked just like the ones she printed for everyone else "To: Bob Love: Sally and Family" etc. Dead giveaway.
Special wrapping paper from Santa and I always get a friend from work or a neighbor to write the Santa, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, etc tags for us so the kids don't recognize the handwriting.
