We all watch while the person opens, and it goes on to the next person in age. The whole thing takes like two hours and I love it. But when we went to my husband's family, they distributed gifts and everyone opened at once. Done in like 7 minutes flat. UGH - such a let down. After spending hours picking out gifts, I want to see the faces (good or bad) of my intended recipient. <br /><br />So yes. We like it the way we like it and that's that. Cry if you want to. <br /><br />I wish I had. :)Kym Brunner (author of Wanted: Dead or In Love)http://www.kymbrunner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907038839233731801.post-75619641885961929552013-12-16T17:52:00.054-06:002013-12-16T17:52:00.054-06:00That is terrible.

I'm an early bird, so I'm all for getting up early to open gifts. As my boys got older, they slept in. It took me a few years (along with hubby telling me it's okay if we open gifts at 9 or 10) for me to get used to that.
