When I was young we had a tradition of being able to open one present on Christmas Eve. We got to pick something from under the tree. So this year we let the kids open their presents to each other. Dane got a G.I. Joe action figure, Joelle got a My little pony, and Cody got a Mator the Greater from the Cars movie. They were all very happy with what they got. Dane did not like the idea of having to use his own money, to buy his siblings a present, but he came around. Cody and Joelle were happy to hand theirs over. The kids were so excited Christmas Eve. Dane sat in front of the computer and watched Santa making his rounds on NORAD. It was hard to get him to come listen to the Christmas story, put out the cookies and milk, and leave oats and glitter on the front lawn so the reindeer would find us. He was very concerned that Santa was going to get close to our house and he was not asleep yet. Santa was up wrapping presents until 2:30 am and was very tired Christmas day!
