We can never wait until the 25th, so we have to come up with legitimate reasons for opening presents early. This year we decided to go with a 12 days of Christmas theme for the holidays. Gifts were broken into 12 categories, each based on a line from the song. For example, on one day you can get something to watch (eg. the Partridge Family) and something to eat (a pear). On other days you can get something for the house (piping) or something to hear (drumming). See? It's FUN! We draw numbers each day to see which present we get to open. Since we are going on holiday for a few days right at Christmas, we will not be opening something each night. This means that we set aside some of the best presents (or in my case - the ones that haven't arrived yet!) and there will be an extravaganza on Christmas night.
I love the holiday season!
Oh - and we are not making a 3D tree this year. We are instead using a little homemade tree that one of my students gave me. It is strips of green fabric tied around a dowel and it is adorable! It is only about 9 inches tall so Zazzy can't possibly be scared of it!
