Opening Presents One At A Time

RE: Opening Presents One At A Time Post by dse77 (26) | (01/08/2007) Contact We have 16 year old twins. We have always opened one present at a time, as described. Similar to mawmawto4, this year I did not put names on presents because the kids have gotten to where they knew what they were getting by the box, etc. But instead of fictional names, I put numbers on all gifts, so no one knew who was getting what. They grumbled about it, but on Christmas, it was hilarious. We all enjoyed it, and will do it again. RE: Opening Presents One At A Time Post By MawMawto4 (Guest Post) (12/20/2006) We do this as well but with a twist. I do not put anyone's name on the packages. I use names such as Rudolph etc. I think we have used every Disney character name as well as weird ones such as a vegetable. Each year I keep a master list in my purse in a secret place with the gift plus the fake name. That way I keep a list of what I have bought etc. On Christmas morning everyone is excited because they get to open the gifts & they have been spending weeks trying to figure out who is who. They are usually never right. Sometimes the boys are girl names etc. I had thought about doing away with this tradition when my children grew up & got married but they love it so we have continued it on with the granchildren. Great fun.
