When children are present at Christmas...

...you get to;

open presents early, endure heightened levels of hysteria, ask people to use their "inside voices," feed bottles, change diapers, keep secrets,
do gymnastics to get the jitters out, check www.noradsanta.com one thousand times to see if Santa is getting close, learn playstation games,
play "shoot-guns," loose your patience while assembling polly-pocket's-rollercoaster-waterpark-house-of-unending-fun,
dance, sing, explain the rules of battleship fifteen times, eat candy, ride bikes, have six-year-old assistance with everything including putting your makeup on,
laugh, cuddle, and ENJOY EVERY MINUTE.

Things you DON'T get to do when children are present at Christmas;

sit patiently and wait.
