[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tearing open gifts one right after the next shows poor manners. Period. [/quote] [b]It is just as gauche to turn a consumerist activity into the main event of a family holiday[/b].[/quote] YES. THANK YOU. There is so much build up to the exacting one-by-one exchange at MILs sometimes I feel like it is really the entire point of the holiday. Instead of appreciation, it breeds resentment for her hypermanagement of everyone's holiday.[/quote] Completely agree. Drawing gifts out like that makes the entire focus about the gifts and receiving.[/quote] +1000 Seems like a poor use of people's time, especially if there are people who need to catch a plane home, get kids to bed or get some sleep for work the next day. I'm sure many people can think of other things they'd like to do with a few hours than watch Uncle Joe or Cousin Jane open up a gift box containing another sweater or DVD. [/quote]
