Just heard somthing on the radio made me giggle….
On average it takes 6.2 minutes in a household to open presents and 9.6 minutes to for the first argument to start :lol:
Anyone want to share any stories? :lol:
I can’t actually remember any stories, but I did hear on the radio talking about this the other morning. One presenter said they always argued about whether or not to have yorkshire puds on xmas dinner in her house and then a caller phoned in to say she had already argued with her bloke coz she said to him ‘what do you want for christmas’ and he had replied ‘you to be a size 10’ haha… God imagine the atmosphere in that house lol

cosythepsychosociopathictw@t strikes again on a nice thread :roll:
I have lovely Christmas memories….
The parcels were opened and the toys played with for a while… then discarded and forgotten in favour of the boxes and packaging which were made into dens and weird driving machines… most the arguments were around sibling rivalry I would wade in and split them up… then guess what…. I was the baddy :(
Teapot :roll:
6.2 minutes to open pressies? pfffffft.
My ex-husband’s family used to wrap each individual part of a pressie, and pressies were distributed one person at a time as everyone watched you unwrap it. One year I opened a parcel – 4 AA batteries. Then I waited as each family member opened a pressie then it was my turn again and I opened the next parcel – a plug. Then again – a remote control. Then again – an indoor tv ariel. And finally – a portable tv. It took over an hour to open the one present, by which time you’d given up the will to live. Then it was time to start the next self-assembly pressie and hope it couldn’t be broken down into too many bits! :shock: :lol:

I have a friend whose son in law will only allow one present opened every hour… it drives my friend mad she says its tantamount to mental cruelty for her grand children…. I tend to agree. Think I might slip him a few Mickey Finns Christmas morning!
Teapot :wink: :wink:
One present an hour??!! :shock: That’s just bloody cruel. What about their mum, what does she say?
I couldn’t make my kids do that.When I was a kid, we lived in this huge house, and we always had giant Christmas trees. It was so big it always used to chip the pain off of the ceiling.
One Christmas we were just sitting down to eat dinner and the phone rang. Dad picked it up, put it down and took it off the hook. Nothing and no one disturbs his Christmas dinner. We never did find out who it was. :lol:
