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?
Trying to plan ahead for Christmas...
-
We let them open them all, but hoard at least half to actually open and play with at a later time.
-
@Boogs: same!
-
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!
-
She unwraps them all. Then we put some away for later in the year.
-
@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.
-
Good thoughts! Thanks!
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!
-
On Christmas Eve the kids open any cards/money/gifts they got mailed to them - which ends up being 3-4 presents.
Christmas morning its Santas gifts
Then at my moms house later in the day its gifts from my mom and siblings
-
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.
-
She opens them all but we do Christmases on different days so they are actually pretty spread out. My parents on Christmas Eve, in laws the Saturday before, ect.
