The Joy of Christmas

My son opening his main present this Christmas - sums up the joy of being 7 I reckon. Perhaps a little cheesy but what the hey, it's Christmas!

Re: The Joy of Christmas

What would've happened if the wrapping paper had a Wii or a PS3 in it? Or even a lens that was no good to him (ooh . . I'm mean) . . then you could've said, "well son, just so happens it fits my camera" . . .

Nice one mucker. Happy holidays m8.

I like the 4th pic. He looks content and like he has been using it forever.

Thanks Pirate!! He got a Wii for his birthday and he is saving up for a PS3 (with my help). He loves playing with my camera so he'd have been quite happy with a lens (but probably not quite as happy as he was with a DS)

Yep, he's quick to pick things up like that...

Thanks Alex. Yes, he was just a little bit excited when he opened it. I had told him that it was too expensive so he wasn't expecting a DS...
