Same when I was a kid.. only it was ALWAYS a selection box.
I have let my kids open one pressie early.. but there is usually a v good reason for it.
2 years ago they were doing my head in & I had loads of wrapping still to do.. I gave them both a pressie each.. DVD Box sets of Family Guy .. kept them out of my way for the hours & hours it did
THIS YEAR EVERYONE WAITS!
