Putting Christmas Presents Together Thread

The board is either too old that their kids are grown or don’t have any custody

That’s a gift that’ll give all year long. Them girls are butt hurt.

Have a bicycle for my daughter this year. Not too bad. Haven’t opened the box yet so idk how in depth it will be. Figure it won’t be too bad

My 3 year old has been obsessed with jumping on beds, couches, even just hopping along on the floor for the last few months. What can I say, this dude found his passion and has embraced it

I bought him a little 6' trampoline with a safety net and basketball goal attachment for Christmas, and couldn't wait until tomorrow morning. I assembled it while he was napping earlier today and he's probably jumped for over an hour solid at this point

He loves it so far

The last couple of years I’ve been surprised that everything has arrived mostly built. Remembering to unbox the gift and charge it for eight hours seems to have become the most important Xmas wildcard.

Planned on waking up around 4am to put a wooden swing set/playground together

I’m building a cedar playhouse. Fortunately it doesn’t have to be ready until early next week, because none of the corners in this SOB are square.

Was just thinking about this thread and yearly tradition. Always fun staying up late with the other late night builders.

Tonight I have nothing to put together, wife in the bedroom wrapping everything and sitting on the couch watching Die Hard. Going to have to figure out how to get the middle one off the Xbox at some point and the high schooler is in his room but I suspect he will want some sort of late night snack.

We will see how we can get the presents under the tree at a reasonable hour

Cheers to not having to assemble a playhouse with or a kitchen play set with 2000 stickers

I definitely put a princess carriage together backwards a couple years ago and I’ll never live it down. Thing was a nightmare.

It was worth every minute tho. Time has flown since then

Waiting for kids to go to sleep. Still have to put together some double egg swing. Shouldn’t take but an hour or two tops. Probably get started around 11-11:30.
