Reddit is still trying to find the jolly in this Christmas morning tradition...
Someone else joked that the kids should bring a “Christmas revolution.” “It’s controlling… hopefully at some point the children want a Christmas revolution and actually get a say. Big time fun police mom,” they wrote.
“I still think my husband’s family is nuts for everyone opening 1 present at a time going clockwise,” someone else wrote, detailing another slow Christmas morning tradition. “It takes at least 4 hours for 5 people. They buy a disgusting amout of presents too. I was in awe at the amount like something you only see in movies. I prefer my family’s way, tearing thru them like heathens.”
Some people defended the mom’s choice. “When I was a child we did something similar, but it’s not like we sat staring at the wrapped gifts,” they wrote. “We opened one or two and played with them, had breakfast, maybe went for a walk. Then a couple more, then Christmas dinner. Some playing and the final ones in the evening.”
They continued, “It stretched them out rather than the scenario where kids open everything and it’s kind of an anticlimactic. I imagine OP’s wife means something similar. Not everyone has to do it but I don’t think it’s unreasonable.” I guess if that’s what you like, then there’s nothing wrong with that. But shouldn’t this be a decision the whole family makes together? The wife’s controlling behavior of present-rationing doesn’t sit well with her husband, and it’s his Christmas, too. I also can’t imagine the kids like it too much. Compromises should definitely be made so everyone can enjoy the holiday.
