In the West, presents are traditionally opened in front of the giver, despite the custom of party places with busy schedules to dump all gifts into a plastic bag, to be opened later, not on their time. In other places, like Japan, gifts are not opened in front of the giver.

My 9 year old DS just had a home birthday party and at the end of it opened his gifts, showed more enthusiasm for some, but thanked all his guests sincerely. He will also write thank you notes.[/quote]

TACKY![/quote]

Not the PP but what is tacky about that??  I think it is tacky when a parent rips the present from my child's hand and throws it in a trash bag with the others never to be seen again.  Half the time she gets a thank you note, half the time she doesn't.  Buying gifts for people isn't even fun anymore.  That is why you hear so many people re-gifting.  They invite people that don't even know the child and there is no thought that went into a present.

Your form of tacky is a lot different than mine.   [/quote]
