    He's been and gone here too. This year my oldest really wanted the Lego Simpsons house but we couldn't afford it. Got a missed call from my brother earlier and rang him back. He went out and got it but said it's to be a Santa present. Tears were flowing after he told me.

    It really is. My brother and I rarely speak or see each other. He's a bit introverted at the best of times while I'm not. The old saying actions speak louder than words is so true.

    Fair play to ye in getting everything in and placed so well. Whenever I have kids, I'm positive I'll cause such a racket, falling over everything when getting the pressies in. I'm so clumsy :P

    I feel like I'm watching your kids grow up. Judging by the gifts of course.

    Did last minute present shopping for the wife and kids today - have to admit, things were looking pretty dodgy when I stopped in to the bookies and blew a bit of the Christmas budget on a few long shots, but there was plenty left to crowd the bottom of our Christmas tree. It's always nice to have an excuse to spoil them and let them know how much they mean to you. I can't wait for tomorrow morning now, the joy and wonder in their faces is always the single most rewarding experience every year. Only parents will understand that one I guess.

    Thanks to this thread I have now remembered to do the stockings for my sons. They are 17 and 20 but Santa still leaves them a stocking full of goodies as well as the gifts from me under the tree.

    On the wrapping of Santa presents, ours were never wrapped. Separate bundles sitting on sofas/armchairs. Presents from our parents and other people were wrapped.

    You didn't want the delay of taking paper off to see what you got!

    Aw am so excited for tomorrow.

    Merry Christmas to you all and if you have wee ones, I hope they have a magical day. Life can be tough so sprinkle magic where you can. x

    I'm shocked at how common it is for presents to be unwrapped. Our presents from santa were always wrapped in plain brown paper with a giant sock full of unwrapped goodies. I can't imagine ever doing it differently if I get kids of my own. There was Santas presents and everything else. If it was brown paper it had come from the north pole as far as we were concerned. :D

    The nephew gets his presents unwrapped as that was the way his mam grew up but it just seems to be over so quick and lacks that suspense and 'ohh I know/wonder what this is' buzz.

    Hours we'd be sorting and opening presents. Do you go for the big heavy brown box or the small weird shaped package that rattles? N64 game size packages were the best :pac:

    I got my nephew an Argentinian away strip from the World Cup 2014, Messi is his idol so I had Messi and number ten put on the strip, he loves it. My sister was telling that he had a row with her and his dad, they were going for a walk and wanted him to wear warm clothing, he outright refused to take off his strip which touched me, but mam and dad knew what was best.

    They're clearly threatened by you and are trying to undermine you in front of the child.
