The children have already been asking for the presents placed under the Christmas Tree. They have been asking since the day the presents have been placed there.
So, on the very day of Xmas itself, the children couldnt resist anymore (as we told them to wait till Xmas Day to open the presents) and asked for the presents again. This time, they got their wish granted. Hooray! Immediately, they started the mission of tearing the layers of wrappers, hoping to see their "wishes come true". Indeed, the process of unwrapping the presents is like having a war.....wrappers are thrown everywhere in the house as they are deemed "useless" as compared to the toys they are holding in their hands.

Sometimes, I wonder whether the children understand the true meaning of X'mas. To them, it could jolly well mean Presents' Day. No one can deny that they are the happiest lot on this day as they receive tons of presents from their loved ones. Like Trenyce, she received about 10presents in all! Thats a record for this year. I believe there are many more children like Trenyce out there and I do hope they will understand the meaning of "giving" on X'mas Day and not regarding it as "Presents' Day".
Here's wishing everyone a very Merry Xmas (though I am a few minutes late) and Blessed Year 2008! Cheers!!!
