[quote=Anonymous]My mother (who lives many states away and DOES NOT TRAVEL FOR CHRISTMAS BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE AT THE AIRPORT (end quote)) sends way too many presents for my kids. I have given up on getting her to send less so instead we open all of grandma's presents after attending church. I keep an eye on the gifts they really like and I *casually* hide the rest in my closet. If they don't get asked about in a week they get donated. Grandma gets sent a video of the present opening shennigans. Everyone is happy. Kids then put on their new pajamas, we set up snacks for Santa & the reindeer and I bribe my kids to go to their rooms by shoveling all of Grandma's presents into their respective rooms. Parents set up the gifts under the fireplace and then have an adult beverage before going to bed early in anticipation of a 5am wakeup call. [/quote]
