sorting and wrapping the stocking presents to make sure they have the same spent on them anyone want to lend a hand cant play with the toys though thats my job.

If I was near, I'd be round to help you. Great fun, especially when you still have a really young one to enjoy the magic of it all, for a good few years yet. Gwyn

Gwynn I love it being the big kid its their little faces as they open them. Catherine Yes its christmas pressies but have to do it as Tiddler found the hiding place at the weekend and I found her playing with one of her pressies

......And what time of day do they open them, Dawn? Gwyn

Gwyn they arent too bad around 8am but Lis is usually being jumped on to get up as she loves to sleep

some of the magic goes as they become teenagers, when my 3 beleived in santa it was so magical, mind you dont get me wrong, its still a wonderfull time , but a lot of the excitement has gone for me mind you i still make sure youngest puts a mince pie and glass of milk out for santa and rudolphs carrot of course xxLynnxx

8 am ???? You are lucky !! It used to be around 3 am for mine. Most Christmas parcels were round the tree in the living room and were opened as a family after breakfast, but stockings from Father Christmas could be opened when they were found. Next generation here now, so I'm still up really early on Christmas morning watching the stocking 'opening'. Gwyn

Dawn you are bringing back lovely memories enjoy it goes all too quickly JuneX

Gwynn its stockings whenever they get up and then family presents after breakfast and after tea we have a tree present for them

yes gwyn mine were allways awake about then too, we have allways had a ritual of no-one opens anything till we are all up , presents around the tree, one hands them to who they are for and we take it in turns opening a pressy each so we can see what everyones got Magical times mind you mine might be older now but eldest stays here xmas eve, and its still the same early morning, about 5.30 bless em xxLynnxx

June I do enjoy it and as tiddler will be 4 just before christmas it means the oldest (14) still gets all the little present in her stocking as well as even though she doesn't believe in Santa she says she has to have one or the others will wonder why. Also Hubby does the cooking his way of making up for me doing all the present shopping so can sit and enjoy their faces more.

Oh Dawn you are going to have a lovely family Christmas that,s what it,s all about Bless! JuneX
