Papa we have a new rule this year, my 5 year old grand daughter said to me

and what would that new rule be I ask? Well the new rule is every time I come over I get to open one Christmas present. Oh really, I say and she says yes her other grand mother said so. Well I think you might need to run this by Gramma, my wife, and see what she says I say. Gramma didn't buy it either but we three got a good laugh out of it once she realize we weren't changing the rules. LOL

It was obvious she'd been giving this some thought.

My folks differed on the issue, as did husb's mother differ w my mother. My mother was the REAL liberal! Me too! Husb, not so much.

But we DID have Chanukah, so were opening gifts for days before Christmas!!!
