That said, we put an awful lot of thought into the gifts themselves, and the bags are re-used so much more easily. Some of the bags we use are cloth, and intended for re-use. And yes, we even reuse paper, some of it for years. There's a whole set of weird boxes that make the rounds every year... you get one, you're required to gift in it the next year. We also do this thing where we open one gift at a time. Starting with the youngest in the room, you pick one at random (no looking, no choosing) and hand it to the intended recipient, and each person picks in turn. Lots of food. Plenty of drink. Music. Storytelling. And relaxing. It can take us all day, and that's kinda the point. I'm not one to get too hung up on how a thoughtful gift has been strategically hidden from my sight until the moment it is revealed... however that is. Hell, the anvil wasn't even wrapped. Enjoy the connections. Don't fret the trappings. C

Ahhh, watching my parents open up their Christmas gifts last night was so satisfying. Amazing to see my dad open up his gift and immediately start wearing it (a sweater) and continue wearing it this morning. And for my mom to also do the same with the scarf I bought her.
Christmas is so much more awesome when you become an adult and care more about giving gifts than receiving them |

I usually don't even remember what I get, but I do remember whether I felt I did a good job finding nifty things to give...
