Things I think everyone needs to know about Presents

TO search for hidden presents. Go to your move your buildings around screen and turn off the buildings. Its like an xray. Haven't had to find presents like this, but I have found Merry Men hiding in those dark corners doing this.

drop presents in the water it makes the easy to find

I'm pretty sure I've never seen more than 5 Presents in my town at once.

On my second pass I turned off everything and slowly searched the entire town looking for those little hopping cubes. Nothing. Meanwhile other people have dropped Presents into the town that I couldn't drop any in. I couldn't drop any into it yesterday either, but plenty of other people did.

Possibilities:
A given player can only drop x number of Presents into a town.
A given player can only drop x number of Presents into a town within a time limit.
A given town can only accept x number of Presents within a time limit.

Oh, and it looks like the Scoreboard in the menu only shows the last 20 dropped. I wish it showed a time to go with it.

With only 5 Presents a day it's hard to experiment and figure out exactly what's going on.

Presents do NOT always drop straight down from the center of your screen. The ones I've dropped almost always veer to the right. I had one go WAY to the right and drop behind a building.

Seriously thought my aim was off during the first few drops, but soon realized that was not the case.

First off, THANK YOU to all my neighbors who have gifted me presents!!! I just found two more that were hidden.
