"Mommy, is Christmas over now?" [View all]

Last night, a friend told me about their son's Christmas. He's 4, and this was the first time he really "got" what was going on.

It was about 10AM, and all the presents were opened, and he asked her that question.

She said: "Yes, all the presents are done & that's it...why do you ask"..

His answer?

"Because I have too many presents..I don't need anymore".

The grandparents were hugging & kissing him for being so sweet, but Mom said it kind of embarrassed her & her husband because their 4 year old was overwhelmed at all he got ..

After everyone left, they suggested to him that they get together some of his toys to donate, since he had new ones, and he said.."Next time can we do it before Christmas so the kids can have new presents to open.."?

He's such a sweet little guy...looks like a 4 yr old Harry Potter
