Christmas presents, as opened by otters

Two otters in Santa hats face a stack of wrapped boxes on Christmas morning. They don't agree on what matters most. more

They live with the family behind the KOTSUMET channel, and the pile is all theirs. Small paws go to work on paper and ribbon, and noses go into the boxes.

From there the two go their own ways. One falls hard for the ribbons. One viewer compares her to a child who skips the gift and plays with the box, and she walks around holding her ribbon like a prize.

The other is all business. He checks each new toy over first, as if making sure it is safe, then loses interest and goes back to his snacks. As one fan put it, presents are presents, but lunch stays on schedule.

Then there's their dad. More than one viewer is sure he is having more fun with the new toys than the otters are.

A singing toy Santa joins the party too. It seems to know just one song, which one viewer felt was plenty, and the otters bowl it over more than once.

The most-liked comment comes from someone spending the holiday alone, who wrote that the otters' happiness felt like their own. With one otter marching off with a ribbon and the other back at his snack, that's easy to believe.
