My parents on Christmas Eve, in laws the Saturday before, ect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2364707 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:50:30 +0000 Alivoo01 2364707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as PP, we let him open them all then put away a majority of them minus a couple I know he'll enjoy playing with right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2364702 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:47:46 +0000 Mamaof2 2364702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On Christmas Eve the kids open any cards/money/gifts they got mailed to them - which ends up being 3-4 presents.</p> <p>Christmas morning its Santas gifts</p> <p>Then at my moms house later in the day its gifts from my mom and siblings </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2364286 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:56:17 +0000 PinkElephant 2364286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good thoughts! Thanks!</p> <p>Last year I tried to draw out the actual opening over a few days, and feel like DD1 lost momentum/excitement. It may not be an issue now that she's older and really "gets" what's happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2364194 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 22:34:32 +0000 Boogs 2364194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It drives me bonkers when the gift giver starts opening the gift they got. I get they are excited, but it's usually the one with a million pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2364171 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 22:06:29 +0000 Smurfette 2364171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She unwraps them all. Then we put some away for later in the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2364028 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:57:45 +0000 regberadaisy 2364028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They can unwrap them all but I don't let them play with them all there. Definitely not anything that has lots of pieces. The harder part is diplomatically not letting her older cousins open them all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2364023 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:51:08 +0000 autumnlove 2364023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2364000 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:31:20 +0000 Boogs 2364000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We let them open them all, but hoard at least half to actually open and play with at a later time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-gets-holiday-gifts-from-lots-of-people#post-2363994 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 20:30:24 +0000 PinkElephant 2363994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO gets holiday gifts from a lot of people, do you do anything to space out the opening of so many gifts? What? </p> <p>Trying to plan ahead for Christmas... </p>
