There is no option to place gifts under the Holiday Tree (from Holiday Celebration Pack) or Stroke Of Midnight Department Store Holiday Spruce (from Seasons), and I'm not sure if this interaction was ever an option for the former, but I could've sworn it was for the latter. This is either a bug or a pretty significant oversight, because a major point of the holiday trees is the gifts places under them. I tested this both with and without mods/custom content, and it was true regardless of whether they were on or off.

I can place gifts under the Ever Delightful Evergreen Holiday Tree (from Seasons) with no issue as long as I have mods turned off. However, when mods are on, no gifts appear after placing them, even though the game thinks they're there. It shows the "Remove Gift Pile" interaction as an option once the gifts are placed, even though no gifts are visible, and no gifts can be clicked on or interacted with. The tree skirt also doesn't appear, but the game thinks it does, because it can be removed after being "placed."
