Share Photos and Videos of Your Children Opening Their Christmas Presents

There's not much better than a child's face when they run to the tree in the morning and start ripping into all the gifts Santa brought them. Share your moments of joy!

"Opening presents is like playing air hockey with God," is what Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal once wrote in trying to capture the joy of children opening gifts on Christmas morning. There's not much better than a child's face when they run to the tree in the morning and start ripping into all the gifts Santa brought them. Let's share those moments here and put a smile on everyone's face with a gallery of Wilmington kids opening their gifts on Christmas morning.

PHOTOS: Town Readies For Tree Lighting Ceremony

For the last several weeks, town workers have slowly but surely stringing thousands of lights on the trees of Town Common.

Wilmington's annual tree lighting ceremony is still several weeks away, but Scott Smith has been hard at work for weeks. Smith, the town's tree foreman, has been stationed on Town Common with his fellow town employees stringing lights on the trees in the area to prepare for the annual event. On Election Day, Smith was hard at work along with general foreman Jerry Lawrenson and others, perched high above the ground looping the colorful bulbs on the Town Common trees. This year's Holiday Tree Lighting is slated for Saturday, December 1.
