Santa sack

Holiday present container

A Santa sack is a large fabric bag, traditionally red, used to hold Christmas gifts in the manner of Santa Claus's legendary bag of toys.

Parents might use one to present gifts dramatically on Christmas morning: The kids squealed when Dad dragged in the Santa sack.

The term sometimes appears in holiday retail for oversized gift bags.
