Nearly there
 
Not long now until the big day for the children,

Its a time when the little ones ask the dreaded question "HOW MANY MORE SLEEPS UNTIL SANTA COMES?"

Christmas eve is the only time the children want to go to bed early!
I wonder why!!!!!

Its the one day you the mums & dads wish somebody had reminded you to buy batteries for those games and toys???

Reminder given:thumbsup::thumbsup:

PS If the baby of the house likes the box the gift came in better than the gift?
Dont worry they'll soon learn:confused:

French children (and adults) open their presents late on Christmas Eve, after the Réveillon. With a French step-family-in-law, I got used to this very quickly.
Christmas Day is spent recovering from the big meal the evening before and, of course, Boxing Day doesn't exist here, so it's business as usual...
Happy Christmas to All, whenever you celebrate it!:)
