A New Yorker Cover a Day Puzzle, day 24

This image, as with the last of the Storring puzzles, was the perfect end to the collection. It doesn’t matter that this image is from 1936, it’s still so true. I don’t have kids, but I imagine that I probably did this to my parents when I was younger. That might have been the reason they started letting me and my brother open the gift we got each other on Christmas Eve. It helped to ease some of that excitement, so we could get up at a normal time the next day. Of course, as we got older, sleeping later was more important than getting up at 7 to open presents.
