[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, 
I prefer opening gifts beforehand on Christmas morning. We tell them to come over in the afternoon at Christmas hoping they opened their gifts already. It just awkward watching an almost 30 year old woman open 16 gifts from her parents.

I was asking how do you word it to have people open their gifts at their home and then come over later. I guess from now on we’d just have Christmas dinner.

I'm with you OP. My DH's family used to do this, and it was unbearable: one person opening one gift at a time, "aww you got me some gloves, how nice. Thank you" then the next and the next. A thousand small gifts, rounda and round and round the circle we go. I never said a word because I did not want to offend anyone, but somehow it stopped.

In my family(there are a million of us), you take your gifts home and open them there. Then you call aunt, grandma, uncle, cousin etc and thank them the day after Christmas or so.

I wouldn't say a thing in your shoes. But I feel you.[/quote]

Op here, yeah I won’t say anything! [/quote]
