DS will be sixteen months at Christmas, and compared to last year when he was four months and had no clue, I am assuming that he will be joining in more by opening and playing with presents, interacting more with family members who come to see us, he'll be able to eat the food etc. But I'm not anticipating he'll really understand that Christmas is a special time or be able to look forward to it.
So I'm curious when will be the first year that he will "get" Christmas. Not to the point of understanding the whole Christmas story necessarily, but in terms of being able to look forward to the event, understand that Santa will be coming and be excited by that etc. Will next year at 2.4 be too soon for that? When did your DCs first "get Christmas"?
