How does your family open your holiday gifts?

As our family gets bigger the opening of gifts has become a problem with so many people ... any suggestions or ideas? I wonder what other people do - one at a time or otherwise?

How does your family open your holiday gifts?
At my house we open our gifts one at time. There is usually between 15 %26amp; 20 of us. Mainly because we do a gift exchange each year and so this is the easiest for us and it makes it so everyone gets attention and feels loved. Every Thanksgiving after everyone has eaten we pull names for the gift exchange. Christmas morning we wake up everyone at 3am to open gifts starting with the babies and working our way up to grandma. After all the gifts are open we play then go back to bed and wake up to Christmas breakfast.
Reply:we open our Christmas gifts with our hands
Reply:In my family, we seperate the gifts out into piles, then we all open them at once.....Otherwise it take soooo long!
Reply:My brother and I take turns
Reply:We hand out all the gifts and then we start opening them, all at once.
Reply:On Christmas eve we all get to open one. Then we all yell 'one more' until everyone has opened three or so. On Christmas morning we let the little kids all open one at the same time and then go around in a circle of adults with two people opening at the same time.
