[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so weird to me that everyone thugs it’s unreasonable to take a break in opening presents.  Our rule is generally that we do Santa presents and stockings, then break for breakfast, then wrapped presents.  Do you all really do all the presents before breakfast?  My kids would be spiraling out from low blood sugar.[/quote]

I get up before the kids, have breakfast 90% ready before they come down, we open all of the gifts, and then when they're done I spend five more minutes getting breakfast ready. It's worked well for us for a dozen years now.[/quote]

The point isn't that it's not reasonable to eat mid-presents.  My husband's family opens stockings and Santa gifts, eats, then opens the rest of the gifts, too.  But that's the tradition, they do it the same way every year, and there's kind of a natural break that the kid can see coming.  No one I know randomly stops presents for breakfast like the OP did.

And we always had food out to snack on while opening gifts, plus a breakfast strata baking in the oven while we opened them.  [/quote]
