Today is Christmas Eve and so my children were able to open a few of their Christmas presents. My toddler son's face lit up when he opened his train set. My baby girl laughed when she held her musical doll. It was so very enjoyable to see my children have such delightful fun. Do you enjoy seeing Children get Christmas presents? Do you remember any really enjoyable Christmas times?

I have been following the weather reports from Europe, and it certainly looks like it could be a white Christmas, which would be something special. Enjoy. Best wishes to you and your children, max.

Hi my friend Mike. It is lovely that you saw your grand daughter open her presents last year. I hope that you will have a lovely Christmas this year. It might even be a white Christmas here. I wonder because we have had so much ice this week and cold weather. Max

I love seeing kids open their Christmas gifts. I remember when my granddaughter was only 1 1/2 and on Christmas morning. She was opening her gift and every gift she opened she kept saying "wow" "wow" with her eyes wide open. It was so cute to see at such a young age. I can't wait to see her expressions tomorrow morning. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

It must have been excellent for you to have watched your granddaughter and heard her say "Wow" even though she was so young. I hope that you enjoy seeing her expressions tomorrow when she opens her presents. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope all of you will have a really enjoyable day.

I think the whole joy of Christmas is watching the kids. You can see the light in their eyes just light up when they open their gifts. This Christmas was a hoot, my youngest got everything she wanted and more. Now, my neighbor's little girl had to been the best moment. She's not quite 2 yet, but the look of excitement on her face as she was opening her gift was so cute. So to answer your question, Yes I truly enjoy seeing children getting Christmas presents. So much so, one year I helped 2 families provide Christmas for their kids. I wish I could afford to do it every year. I think everyone should take the time, to pick one family and become a Secret Santa.

It is excellent that you focus is on your kids enjoying themselves. Children might get a few toys each and the parents just one toy. Happy Christmas Cher.

Yes, all the eager kids are waiting. I remember being a child and waiting for Santa to drop by presents. I have a small Christmas tree and I kept the presents on top of my bookcase. Happy Christmas to you Zandi.

Children get very excited with the gifts given to them. I enjoy seeing them for their excitement. When we were small, we were so excited as well when we got some gifts. Well, I also got some small gifts when I was at the Christmas Eve when my colleagues and I were invited to celebrate the Christmas Eve the other day at a luxurious hotel. It is really exciting. Merry Christmas to you, maximax.

Hi, maximax8. Yes, I do enjoy seeing my kids get their gifts on Christmas Day. It is such a wonderful feeling that pasts through my heart. Anything that I get for them they are so grateful. When I gave my four year old her doll baby, her eyes lit up and she was so anxious. You could see the happiness in her face. I was very happy to see her excited. All of my kids are very happy for their gifts too. I am happy that your kids and you are enjoying this special day. Have a very Merry Christmas!

i guess when it is one of our own opening the presents our whole world also lights up. there is nothing cheap or expensive to children. if it is a toy they would love it. i cannot say the same thing for grown-ups. i guess a gift cheque would take the place of the toys they received when they're young. at least, that's what i feel in my case.... who wouldn't want a gift cheque, anyway ?

Oh most definitely...that to me is the best part of Christmas. I love seeing the excitement they get the closer it gets to Santa coming and then seeing their eyes light up when they are able to open the gifts Christmas morning and see all those things they had hoped for....it is so wonderful!!

Today is my son's 1st Christmas (my 1st child). So this was a new treat for me. I have alot of cousins' with children and have my nieces and nephews and I always got excited giving them gifts. Of course at 10 months old he didn't open the present too much but it was still fun and I look forward to many more years of this pure joy! :)

Hi. Yes, I also like seeing children who excitedly open their gifts. Actually, almost all of them are excited to receive and open gifts. You could always see excitement, joy and happiness on their faces.

To me Christmas is for children. I enjoyed watching my children open their gifts on Christmas morning. Their faces always lit up when they got the gift they were hoping for. My children are now grown, so now it is my best friends son, who still gets me excited for Christmas morning. For the last 3 years we have spent Christmas with them. Either at their house, my son and daughter-in-laws house or our house. We are going over to their house later this morning. I am looking forward to watching their little boy as he eagerly opens each present from our friends, family and us. I loved Christmas as a child, Mom made Christmas so special. I remember the Christmas, Mom bought my sister and I, guitars. We were so excited that morning when we saw our large wrapped packages. We were so over joyed! That was a special Christmas, one I will remember for the rest of my life. Merry Christmas!!
