    The best part of Christmas is seeing your kids’ faces when they open their gifts. The worst part is trying to get the toys out of the packages.

    The best part is watching the kids get so excited. The worst part is not getting time off from work BEFORE Christmas, so I miss out on a lot of the excitement.

    I would say the worst part about being a dad at Christmas would be having to put together toys, like a bike or something that’s difficult to put together. The best part about being a dad at Christmas is seing the look on your child’s face when he/she sees the gift that you put together! : )

    Best: Teaching, playing with and learning from my children. Every day is an adventure with them and through their eyes.

    Worst: Leaving them each day to go to work. I have missed out on a few important events in their lifetimes but I do hope that still with it being the worst that I am teaching them responsibility through having to work.

    Great question!

    It’s the pits trying to assemble the toys. I have been known to beg and plead for the floor model. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway! Wishing you a Happy Holiday Season!

    Well as a father and grandfather, i would have to say the best part of it is seeing the happy faces as they open the gifts..but also knowing that they know the true meaning of Christmas and what it stands for. Watching the proud face of my daughter as her two of her three children sing songs in the Christmas Eve concert. And seeing the baby smile. The worst part is knowing there are many families that arent so fortunate and of course paying the credit card bill in January.

    The worst part was the last 10 years not spending the actual Christmas day with my son. But the best part is he is now living with me and I can see his eyes light up Christmas morning and watch him open gifts. I will be cutting those packages open and helping him put things together, this year that is my Christmas present.
    Happy Holidays

    The best part of being a Dad at Christmas time is the Joy you bring your family, not just at Christmas but all year long. My boys (32 & 30) still call their Dad to ask questions. I always chuckle when I listen in. “How deep is the cut? . . . . hum just put a butterfly bandage on it. It will be fine . . .remember to keep it clean.”

    The best part about being a Dad at Christmas is seeing everyone so happy Christmas morning.

    The worst part about being a Dad at Christmas is always getting ugly sweater for presents!

    Thank you for the great giveaway!

    The worse part of being a dad (or mom) is when the kids get so excited that they (1) can’t behave in the days leading up to Christmas so you keep having to yell at them (2) can’t sleep on Christmas Eve and wake you up dozens of times until (yes) you have to yell at them and (3) they get so greedy after Christmas that they constantly want even more new things making you (again) have to yell at them! Best part is having fun with the kids (when we aren’t yelling at them, of course).

    The best part would have to be the excitement Christmas morning, and knowing I’m the Santa that made them so Happy. The worst is working extra and harder at Christmas to pay for Christmas.

    The best part of being a Dad at Christmas is going out to the with the kids to pick our family tree each year. Even though no one can ever decide which one the best in the end we do get to spend hours of quality time together.

    The worst part of being a Dad at Christmas is the disappointment on my kids faces when the dont get what they asked Santa for because we couldnt afford it that year.

    For me, the best part is seeing my girls so happy on Christmas day. They love opening gifts and spending a long vacation with my wife and I. In fact, it is hard to come up with a bad part of being a dad at Christmas time. I suppose the worst part is worrying that they aren’t going to be happy on Christmas day, or that Christmas hasn’t been “big” enough. However, despite such worries always have seemed happy and joyful on Christmas day. Thanks.

    The best part about being a dad at Christmas is spending time with my daughters. The worst part is the more time I spend with them, the less they listen to me. They think me seriously telling them to do something, they think I am still playing. But it is still good.

    My dh might disagree with me, but I think the best part for a dad is that mom does all the shopping and he just gets the fun of watching them open. The bad part is probably having to help them figure out how things go together and work.

Best part- playing in the snow and sledding- worse part- wife hollering because they kids got all wet and muddy from sledding…admit it- they scream and holler…best part sitting inside watching movies and playing video games and hanging out with them…

    The best part about being a dad at Christmas is not being yelled at by my wife when my son and I burp the song “Jingle Bells.” The worst part about being a dad at Christmas is having a “regurgitation experience” near the end of burping the song “Jingle Bells.” (We’ll have to pick a shorter Christmas song next year!)

    The best? Being able to provide for my family of five in this troubled economy. The worst? Not knowing how much longer I’ll be able to do so. We might have to send my wife back to work if things don’t start changing for the better over on Wall Street.

    I’ll start with the worst part though my husband has never complained (the key word here would be yet); my dad was certainly a little more vocal about it as I got older and then had kids of my own about being up at all hours of the night trying to get things put together so that Santa’s present was sitting right out in the open under the tree when we got up. I do distinctly remember one year though that my sister and I got up too early and they weren’t finished putting out bikes together. I remember my mom hearing us in the hall and coming to close the hall door so we couldn’t get into the family room saying Santa was still there and we weren’t supposed to see him. I still laugh about it now. Of course on the other hand the best part has got to be seeing the excited faces when the kids come out and realize that Santa has been there and brought them exactly what they wanted. Those all all memories I think you’d remember forever.
