open all the gifts at one time or do you have to take turns so you can see what everybody got?
We take turns...one yr we all opened them at the same time and lost a check that our grandmother had given us...

We take turns for gifts that are under the tree, but gifts that are in our stockings are opened all together.

It is total Pandemonium at our house! Everyone tries to hand out all their gifts at the same exact time and it is all opened at once and goes very quickly. There are 4 kids and 6 adults.
It is so overwhelming and you have no floor space after the gifts are opened.

We take turns so that we can see everyone's reaction to the gifts and so that it takes longer, quite frankly. We don't buy alot of gifts, so it's fun to open the ones we have a little more slowly.
It also lets us enjoy the giving part of Christmas, too, because you are able to enjoy the reaction of those to whom you gave gifts.

We take turns....one year my little niece got a small package and a large package,,,she opened the small one with a big smile on her face,,just pleased as punch..."Oh, look Daddy," she said "I got batteries"....we laughed till we cried..he had wrapped the batteries so she would have more packages to open,,,she was much more thrilled with those than the electronic robot thing they want in....got to love kids!

I have a 2 year old and a 12 year old. I usually let the 2 year old open his first, my daughter likes to see the excitement of him opening them. The last 2 Christmases she helped him to open them. My daughter opens hers next and I open mine last. Merry Christmas.

We all take turns.
It lets it last longer and it is fun to see what everyone gets.
