Traveling Welcome Wagon
I read a human interest story in the news once about this woman. She said she had found a great way to wrap her kids' presents. She found 3 great big red cloth bags, with draw-strings. She just threw all of each kids' presents into their bags, then on Christmas they opened the top of the bag and there everything was. I thought that was an absolutely HORRIBLE idea! It took all of the fun out of opening gifts. I don't like how my aunt and uncle's family did it either (opening gifts, that is). They all just tore into them at the same time, and no one knew who got what from whom. It takes us forever to open gifts when there are a lot of us there because we take turns opening one gift at a time as everyone looks on. We all ooh and aah and comment on each thing, and one of us (me when I was at home) writes down who everything was from so we will all know who to thank later (of course if it is from someone there in the room at the time, we thank them right then and there! lol).
