[quote=Anonymous]Christmas with my husbands family is quiet and orderly. Very different from mine. Everyone sits patiently while someone hands out gifts. The gifts sit in a pile next to you. The youngest person opens all their gifts first and then the next youngest and so on. There's not much conversation during gift opening. And wrapping paper is wadded up and thrown away upon opening each gift. In my family, a "Santa" usually an energetic child, picks up the first few gifts he sees and hands them out, we TRY to open them one at a time. Then the Santa grabs a few more etc. We cannot be orderly with the kids and a bunch of people who are trying to have conversations over the din of the kids. And my mom trying to explain her gift to her DIL but dil hasn't opened it yet and my dad yelling to smile for the camera and someone yelling I HAVEN'T OPENED ANY PRESENTS YET! FIND ONE FOR ME! (not always a child). And we're all tipsy. [/quote]
