stuckincincy Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 All on Christmas morning... as as possible, after coffee is in the cup. I never quite understood the "one on Christmas Eve" idea. Christmas Eve is not the holiday. Do you let your kids open birthday presents the day before their birthday? It just doesn't make sense, unless you have family or friends over that won't be there for Christmas to see you open the presents... maybe. Children by definition are grubby, greedy, scheming, unsophisticated little beasts with no concept of patience whatsoever. Unfortunately, some grow up and maintain those traits. A source of the world's ills, IMO. Toss 'em that Xmas Eve bone and save yourself grief...

Or.... you could teach them how to have a little patience and to be less greedy, grubby beasts that world does not revolve aound. just sayin...
KD in CA Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Christmas morning, when do you open presents? Christmas morning.

thebug Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Or.... you could teach them how to have a little patience and to be less greedy, grubby beasts that world does not revolve aound. just sayin... Yes you can teach them that, and still let them open one on Christmas eve.
