Christmas Gifts continue to Stack

I have enabled the Christmas Tree, Christmas Tree Event and Christmas gifts, every time the server restarts the Christmas gifts continue to stack up.  Is there a way to make it so the Christmas Gifts don't spawn if the the loot floor already contains loot under the Christmas tree?  I have played with the nominal settings but it seems the random spawner for the Christmas event disregards the parameters in the types.xml .  Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way?  Is there some other parameter I can change to make it spawn a single set of Gifts?  If the gifts are taken or interacted with then the respawner should spawn the missing gifts.

Apparently the behavior now seems to be ignoring everything except water bottles spawning at the Christmas trees.  This seems to be a recent change.

Gifts seem to be spawning but back to stacking instead of replacing or leaving one gift on the loot floor.

I’m having the exact same problem with the gift boxes continuing to stack under the Christmas tree.  I have 4 hr restarts on my server,  any idea how to fix this?

I have a kinda fix it adds more variety of gift boxes to both the santa wrecks and trees but there are less double spawns (adjusting your globals loot cleanup / giftbox types lifetime can help too)

Update the mapgroupproto.xml entries to these (i added one of the trees so if you dont have it leave it be)
