Would you be annoyed...

...if you woke up on christmas morning and your partner had got up in the middle of the night and opened all their christmas presents, including the ones that you'd bought them?

My boyfriend has told me that if he wakes up in the night (which he always does) he'll open all his christmas presents then. I'm really not happy about that as the whole thing for me about christmas is watching people open the presents I've bought for them, but he can't see the problem.

Am I completely over reacting here?!

    Just how old is your boyfriend?:rotfl:If you really felt like he was going to do that, then I would hide them all until morning and that way he will get the point.;) Merry Christmas to you!:)

    Restrict all fluids from now onwards (to avoid trips to the loo) and send him to bed with a hwb...should sleep soundly until the morning.

    Yes I'd be annoyed, hide them until after he goes to bed, like I do with my 4 and 2 year olds presents.
