Teens showing Christmas spirit

This afternoon I’m taking my two teenagers to the panto.

They are really excited. Genuinely. They say it’s part of Christmas and have no desire to stop going.

What evidence of Christmas spirit are your teens demonstrating this year?

Haven't got teens anymore but my 25 year old has just had a present for our cat delivered here 😻. And we have had a serious WhatsApp conversation about whether it needs to be wrapped or not (outcome still pending).

Wrap it!

The family teens were out at a garden centre with DD and I ,taking the 2 family dogs to see Santa. Now that is truly barking mad 😁🤯🥴😱
.but the dogs get really excited and when I say Santa Clause to my dog she runs to get her Santa Claus coat. She knows she gets treats and a present. We thought we could drop the madness this year but the teens were horrified.

My 22 year old DS was happy to see the Rotary Christmas sledge come round.

Not sure if this counts, but 13yo DS is wearing a Santa hat right now.

16 year old ds has bought a really thoughtful present for 10 year old dd. It's a photo calendar, made up of photos of something that she really likes, he designed it online and paid for it himself out of his own pocket money. He then insisted on wrapping it himself despite finding wrapping incredibly difficult and frustrating due to some fine motor issues. He's generally a very sweet boy though and has always loved Christmas
