They are probably just excited, their children are in those short few years where they are old enough to know what Christmas is and young enough to be mega excited about the magic bloke leaving presents in the night.

Their children are 22, 27 and 28

I often see many photos from people on my facebook with hordes of birthday / Christmas gifts. It's quite common which makes me think that's why people tend to do it more to try and get "one up" on each other.

I don't like people doing it - but each to their own. I think that it fuels the "outdoing each other" attitude that a lot of people have at Christmas. I do like seeing pictures of people opening presents though, I think that's different (: but showing off how much they have bought makes me think of the parents who can't afford a lot of presents and how it must make them feel. I also think that children can get too much - surely have fewer presents of things that the child will actually play with/use is better than 90% of presents remaining in their packaging forever?

Oh, I have.
It's typical of the 'look at me, look at how wonderful my life is' fakery of a lot of social media.
It's just vulgar and tacky

Bigger than their Christmas tree? Most people I know have Christmas trees at min 5ft going up to 6ft. I have never seen any stack of presents that are 5-6 foot high.

A stack of presents all over the floor so you can't move, yes, this was us years back because my children had several relatives (4 grandparents, 2 great-grans, aunts, uncles) all buying and buying more than one thing. That would be nothing to do with how 'fakery' my life is but to do with how many relatives bought presents.

I usually video our youngest (he's 3 this year) opening a couple of presents just to keep a record of his reaction and to let his grandma and siblings see it.

He's still at the age where he spends longer playing with the box than the toy!

Unless it was taken at a certain angle just to make it appear that way, but yes, the tree was completely obscured.

How? Do you have burglars on your facebook friends list so they can see your photos in case they want to pinch something?

All burglars are related to somebody.....
