Started a family tradition

I have a fellow friend of mine who too stays home with his infant daughter and he told me what he used to do as a child growing up. His family would celebrate the 12 days of Christmas and get to open one package each day up until the 25th. He explained that this way you would get to play with the toy or whatever that day and not be overwhelmed by the holiday and the mountain of gifts. We are lucky in that Alex and Josh have lots of people who buy for them so we are going to adopt this practice in our house. Last night Alex opened his first gift from his Grandma(my mom)and it was a 100pc puzzle of spiderman. WoW! He says its a big people puzzle so he needs help but not to much as puzzles he loves.
