We are blessed with having two one-year olds with us for Christmas.
All is ready. The tree is shining with lights and baubles. Decorations adorn the room. The kitchen is packed with festive food.
Under the tree there are a large number of presents destined for the two tiddlers and this leaves the question - which will be the favourite present of all?
Will it be the brightly coloured wrapping paper which easily tears to shreds with lovely ripping noises?
Perhaps it will be the lovely bubble wrap inside some of the parcels which waits patiently to be popped. That's if the adults don't all pop it first in a pretence of showing the kids how to do it.
Then there's the cardboard with shiny cellophane windows so you can see what's inside.
No - my vote is for the silver or gold foil which not only makes lovely crispy noises when you scrunch it but has the added bonus of being shiny too.
Just such a shame that each of these things has some sort of junk inside it which you have to toss aside so as to get to the wrapping.
