How does your family open presents?

Both my parents and my wife’s parents insist on everyone opening one present at a time.
Started opening presents with my side of the family tonight at 530. Still going.

It’s an all out brawl. First to the tree wins. Elbows and groin hits are allowed.

We take turns opening one at a time.

Everyone gets their pile and open them all together once everything is distributed

We take snack breaks.

Each family member is assigned their own personal servant to unwrap their presents for them. We usually bring in a couple of B list celebrities to MC.
Last year Bill Engvall rode my new Harley right into the living room.
I was not impressed.

All at once. Done in about 30 minutes tops.

Everybody gets their pile. We then take turns opening one at a time and announcing who it is from. It was a tradition I started when I was about 12 because I enjoyed watching people get genuinely surprised when they got something cool and unexpected. If everybody goes hell in a cell you don't get to see everyone's expression.

Depends on what property we are spending Christmas at. Chateau in Switzerland we will open them before taking the jet. If it's on the island or our ranch in Telluride we will have them all loaded on the second jet and open one at a time.

Hand them out and watch each person open one at a time.

We open from youngest to oldest, one present at a time. We open everything Christmas Eve (just finished), and the kids open their gifts from Santa tomorrow.

One at a time.
It takes like 4-6 hours.
It’s awful.
I sit in the back and drunk on wine.

One at a time. We aren't uncivilized animals.

We open them all at once. There’s absolutely no way I would willingly sit through hours of opening gifts one by one.
