I just ran into a photo today that personifies anticipation. I hadn’t seen the Prompt yet, so had to hunt it down again. At Christmastime in our home we usually opened one present on Christmas Eve, then in the morning the kids would have their stocking time.
When we moved from TX to CO we had the privilege of seeing our grandchildren’s excitement for every gift. I need to add that I realize how lucky we were to have multiple presents. All the kids, one by one, would open a gift while everyone else watched ooing and awing. Or laughing, it was really fun. Usually there was a dedicated Santa to hand them out from under the tree, sometimes the oldest child. It took a lot of patience for the littlest ones, but they seemed satisfied to see the reaction on each face. The little lady in the picture below was only two years old, but adored her twelve year old sister so much she sat by her quietly waiting her turn.

You’ve made some good points there. I checked on the internet to learn more about the issue and found most individuals will go along with

Beaautiful. A wonderful little vignette of one of those moments that even though it may be common, is anything but ordinary

Looking at the image again, the elder girl looks very much like my sister, the little one like my daughter did at that age. There’s a lovely symmetry in the way we all have such common ties of love and family
