Order of Gift Opening

1990

1970s

When my girls were small, we started a tradition of opening gifts in the order of the shortest person to the tallest.  Of course, the girls went first, then me, then H.  I knew that by biding my time, it would all work out to my advantage since it was clear to me early on that my children would tower over me.  They do.

Now it doesn't really matter to me who opens a gift when since it's the joy of giving and being with family that mean far more to me that what is under the tree (although I do still like gifts....).

Merry Christmas to all!
