How do you get presents to drop in neighbors towns?

I think the question is: where do you get presents in the first place? I received 5 as part of the story line and dropped them. Now, I can't figure out how to get more. I believe that's what the original poster was asking. During Christmas 2013, presents dropped randomly at the present depot (metal tree). This year we have odd characters to tap, but they're giving hats and globes. One of the new buildings pays hats. Where do we find presents?

The act of dropping the presents is clear, it's the same mechanism that we've used in several past events.
