Ok so DH finally caved in after 7 years and bought me my dream Christmas present, a kitten. He's delightful and I love him. This means that I won't have anything at all to open on Christmas morning as the present from the DC and any others from relatives will be Boxing Day. This makes me feel a bit sad and grumpy. WIBU to expect a tiny pressie on the day? Just a mug or a £5 sweet bracelet or similar.

I know, but you have a kitten. Surely that's better than a boring dressing gown or whatever. Your kitten will snuggle around your neck and you will feel happy

hmmm, have you any idea of the chaos that will ensue if you open presents with a kitten in the house? You will still be finding bits of shredded wrapping paper in unexpected places for years afterwards.
Be thankful for the peace and quiet and that you will not be facing a huge repair bill for your vacuum cleaner.....

Dh once got me a Hello Kitty colouring and sticker book for Christmas. I can't describe how offended I was.
They ended up in the bin

You never know what he might have planned, so don't count him out yet. I will admit I am 
of your kitten though. I might feel better if I saw a picture though

YANBU. DP and I went on holiday instead of doing presents last year and we didn't see family until the 27th so I had nothing at all to open on Christmas Day and it was SHIT.
We've all made sure to exchange gifts before the day this year so I won't have a face like a smacked arse again
