[quote=Anonymous]We do a very light breakfast (a little cut up fruit and toast, or biscuits with jam if DH or I gets up early enough to make them) and make tea/coffee for the grownups, then do gifts, then put on an old musical and make a big proper brunch while the kid plays with new gifts. The mini breakfast only takes a few minutes. We did the mad dash to presents in my family when I was a kid and I would not describe it as magical. Christmas in my home growing up with extremely gift focused and felt kind of manic, to be honest. We've worked hard to make our Christmases now about more than gifts. Our kid is 5 this year, so fully aware that Christmas=gifts and makes a list and the whole thing. But I think we have successfully toned Christmas down enough where it's about the whole experience and being cozy and together and enjoying ourselves with good food and music and decorations, not just getting stuff.[/quote]
