I always feel proud of my little one on Christmas day as he is always happy with everything he gets, it's all exciting for him and he can't wait to open things - it's so magical and makes me feel like a child again

The happiest feeling in the world

glenka · 18/12/2016 20:30

It's lovely to see them happy and having fun.

krankers1982 · 18/12/2016 20:53

Satisfied that shes super happy she gets what shes asked for shes always so thankful of every gift and insists on leaving a thankyou note for santa before bed christmas night

dadshere · 18/12/2016 20:55

We try and space out the presents so as not to overwhelm our DD. I am often in tears of joy watching her play

beeelaine · 18/12/2016 21:00

Happy - not because he got what he wanted, because budget did not always stretch to what he wanted, but it is lovely especially when he was younger to see our presents keep him so occupied and to use his imagination. I know he wont remember every christmas morning but he will remember playing with some of those toys!

I love it! I feel great relief knowing they love what they have been given and nice to see how excited they get!

lhlee62 · 18/12/2016 21:05

Last year I was not impressed as my crazy MIL went totally overboard and came over with a huge sack for each of them. This included 3 shapesorters for the youngest one, it was ridiculous. They barely played with some of the toys and they tended to return to their favourite ones anyway. If she does it this year I will be handing them back to her to take home. I was really happy before she came over as they were so excited that santa had come and left them some toys in their stocking, they keep saying how great Christmas was and I was filled with that warm fuzzy feeling when people see their children happy and content.

I just love watching them really getting involved with their new toys. They get so absorbed that they don't want to open any other presents. Xmas Grin

littleme96 · 18/12/2016 21:10

Usually relief that they like what they have got and happiness at the excitement and joy on their faces. :-) Such a magical time when they realise that Santa has been and that some of the presents under the tree will be for them.

They also buy each other a little present and it is lovely to see how happy they are at having bought someone else something that they love.

stefalfie11 · 18/12/2016 21:14

Joyful, they get so excited about the things they've got and are eager to show you all the functions of their new toys.

Clairemike21 · 18/12/2016 21:14

Precious moments in 10 years time they will just want money

Annimousey · 18/12/2016 21:23

I feel relief that I've got something they like, but I also find it mesmerising how they'll also happily play with the box the present came in!

RACHELSMITH45 · 18/12/2016 21:23

Absolutely love seeing the kids play with their new toys! Love going out for a walk with them too and maybe if they've been good they might have a scooter or electric car to help them along the way this time!!

taz10 · 18/12/2016 21:25

a warm contented feeling watching there faces light up

xcxcsophiexcxc · 18/12/2016 21:36

I always feel excited and happy, even accomplished when I make a good purchase . however I must be honest it's never too long before they're distracted by the next toy.

Liquorice13 · 18/12/2016 21:37

Satisfaction that I got the things she wanted and some surprises that she loves

fazkin · 18/12/2016 21:38

It's lovely to see the excitement and fun but eventually I do start dreading about having too much toys

mamof3boys · 18/12/2016 21:40

I feel relief that they're happy and contentment that they can play independently.

Sid98 · 18/12/2016 21:46

I feel happy when they play

liz1970 · 18/12/2016 21:51

I loved their sheer excitement on their faces and knowing I had chosen their gifts well :)

Bellroyd · 18/12/2016 21:58

A feeling that I should be giving them my love and my time and not try to bribe them with presents

melonpanini · 18/12/2016 22:14
