    As the title says, have your kids uwrapped their presents yet? Have they reacted as you hoped?

    Isn't Christmas just lovely when you have children in the house?

    PS I am sitting here on my own in my apartment semi-naked on my third bottle of wine. Kids. DROOOOOOL.

    EDIT: Just kidding.

    Well I have a lovely niece and I spent last Christmas with her, and I was once a kid myself. :)

    I can remember how amazing Christmas morning was. I'm not sure if anything in adulthood reaches those heights of (innocent) excitement.

    My kids are way too hungover to open their presents yet, I doubt very much I'll see them before noon and even then that'll be too soon.

    Yes they were up at 7:45 which isn't that bad and are happy with thier presents,
    as for me I want to go back to bed for a nap already.

    Kids were up at 8, darling son is getting annoyed at his super mario game !! They were pleased with what they got !

    I was dragged up by my sister at 7.30 when we emptied out our christmas stockings while sitting on my parents' bed (I got a tiara! \o/) then we went downstairs and my dad gave out all the presents under the tree. It took a lot of coaxing and whining to get them to come downstairs!

    Who's Jebus??? I thought we celebrated the miracle birth of baby santa. Miraculous because he was born with a fully grown beard........Perhaps he was a son of pat mustard :rolleyes:

    You are very lucky today is the birth of baby santa, very lucky indeed.

    Next time you won't be so lucky.

    I doubt it, posters on AH are all virgins.

    Oh good, cos my 15 year old sister reads this forum and it wouldn't be very nice to say things like that behind her back!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Bought him a torch as he's obsessed with mine.

    He's played with that all morning and just ignored the other fancier presents. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    The little presents are the best. The boxes that big presents come in are sometimes as fun as the presents themselves!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,484 ✭✭✭Quackles


    All presents open, all toys built.

    The 11 month old's reactions were a little disappointing, he's a huge paper fan, thought he'd go ape for being encouraged to rip it, but no.. he tried to eat the leftovers of rudolph's carrot instead. The 4 year old loved his presents. I did think he'd be more into his talking Perry the Platypus, but the reaction was a little lukewarm. I guess nothing is impressive when you see a PSP under the tree :( There'll be no talking to him for the rest of the day!

    All toys open.
    The Christmas curse of packaging recurred.
    I know your meant to open all the presents beforehand in most cases but in some special cases, some of the packaging is actually part of the gift.

    In one case with us, a daughter got a ballerina doll. The packaging was part of the background and so we had to be careful how to open it without ripping it all up.
    It took us a full 22 minutes to open the box, snip all the wires holding the doll to the background, cut all the cellotape off, remove all the elastics and untie all the strings holding all the parts - and that was after removing the large taped plastic layers on each part also taped and tied down under one large layer of plastic that was also taped, stapled and then cellophaned.

    I mean seriously - what the fcuk!!! :mad:

    One toy company WILL be getting an angry letter of complain from two parents with cut fingers (from the mountain of sharp edged plastic removed), sore hands from the snips and mountains upon mountains of outter and inner packaging!
    Totally frakin' stupid - and they expected a child normally to open their present! Arseholes! :mad::mad::mad:
