Christmas morning.

Christmas morning at our gatherings has always been a lazy slow moving time.  The children have grown up knowing things will be slow.  They are very patient, knowing presents will not start to be opened until all adults are up and awake and fed.  Then with so many presents for nine people, the opening tends to be done in stages with breaks in between.
