This is really the first Christmas that DS will be actively opening presents and getting excited about his new toys - I can't wait! He's already got some presents round the tree and has opened 2 already so now knows the parcels have something interesting inside and keeps asking to open them. Last year it was a warm and fuzzy feeling seeing our new little one trying to take all the new things in but this year I think it'll be even better!

My son is only 1 so I think I am going to be more excited than him when he opens his presents!

It makes me want to cry when I see them open the gift they really wanted and be so happy with it.
Last year dd (3) wanted a baby bath - that was all. I got a doll and a sponge too.
She unwrapped it, yelled yeahhhhh and went straight into the bathroom and bathed her dolls. She didn't care about anything else.
I did cry that day it was so cute.

I absolutely love watching the sheer delight on my child's face when he comes in the living room and sees the unopened presents,he's 3.5 so was only 2.5 last year but he was so extremely grateful for all the gifts and was so polite when opening them that I was filled with pride. He's a kind hearted boy full of energy and seeing him so happy brought a tear to my eye

My dd never really asks for anything so it's always a relief when she is thrilled with what I have chosen for her

When I get surprise gifts right, I always feel specially chuffed.

The joy on their faces when they realise that Santa has been!

I love it. I love to see their joy and excitement. Nothing better,

Normally there's a general feeling of do our children know how bloody lucky they are. Then we start the champagne and I don't care much after that as long as they're happy and keep themselves occupied with the new stuff.

Relief that they liked it
General satisfaction at giving them pleasure
Hope that they will play independently a bit and the rest of us can drink cook the lunch

It's lovely watching them unwrap presents, but I try to make sure they only unwrap one every couple of hours as this makes it last longer and means they appreciate each individual present rather than not really paying attention and getting confused with their sisters things (as they are usually very similar)

Joy to see them enjoy what we've worked so hard to get them.

Normally puzzlement wondering where the lost present got to.... always one!!

Absolute relief if I've got it right and bought the right thing

I love to see their faces once they've unwrapped their present (and I've wrestled off all the packaging, wires and screws holding it in a vice like grip in shrink wrapped plastic.)

I am so very happy - I love Christmas and I love to see them having a great time - love them so much x

I love watching my kids when they open their pressies - it brings back childhood memories of my own and I feel like a big kid again and cannot wait to play with their new toys too! I must admit, there are some toys I buy because I would love to play with them too lol! My daughters dolls house and my sons Star Wars Lego set are two examples! Hee hee!

I feel happy and proud, all the stress leading up to xmas is worth it when you see them playing.

Pride and pleasure if we've chosen the right balance of fun and education

I love it, I'm not a fan of Christmas but my kids make me a fan of Christmas

Christmas is pretty low key for us - there'll be just the three of us, and only presents from me and dh. But I love ds's glee at getting things he wanted, and his happiness at giving out the presents to each of us.

It really is the best part of Christmas for me, fills me with great happiness.

Oh where so I start?

Well the gifts they have specifically asked for I have satisfaction at making their faces light up that Mummy has sourced it for her... I'm bedbound so can't traipse through shops and have to do everything online you see...so these days it is a LOT easier than before I can tell you lol....

For the giraffe that I have chosen based on their interests I feel joy that the gifts they Didn't Realise They Wanted Til Now have made them so happy.

Love Christmas 🎄

Um gifts not giraffe 😂😂😂

I feel relief and then joy when my son opens his presents and play with his gifts as it shows that he likes what we got him
