[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 329331, member: 1697"] Hope noone minds I decided to say hi here and say that yes, thats what we do, too. the kids are allowed to do stockings without the entire family present, and amuse themselves. I set out non perishable breakfasty type snacks and cocoa in a thermos for them. and later when we all are awake, we have a simple bite to eat, french toast casserole and fresh fruit or a few scrambled eggs (or eggbeaters) and settle in to read the hristmas Story and sing Happy Birthday. & then the youngest here also passes gifts and we go youngest to oldest and open and examine each persons gifts one at a time, with breaks for drink refills or to tuck away gifts to peoples rooms, cuz I buy lots of little things instead of any big ticket items. Toothbrushes and requested toothpastes, shaveing creams of different types, socks wrapped one pair at a time etc. LOL. and I often will nest gifts in assorted size boxes of gradually increaseing size each gift wrapped and nestled in another box etc to amuse everyone. we play christmas carols softly in the background and laugh a lot. Dinner is a light buffet that can be nibbled along the way. So gift opening last a long time here, and then the kids play board games and I watch. (to head off problems) It is always a PJ day with cozy soft socks, too. I like the holiday, but I sure am exhausted now. LOL [/QUOTE]
