Christmas 2012 opening presents(family tradition).

In my family, we have a very strict present opening policy. After the gifts are piled in front of their intended recipient, the youngest member of the family opens their present first. We make sure to take time to note who the gift is from, show it around to other family members, and thanking the gift giver. Then the next youngest member of the family takes their turn, and so on through the family, until the oldest family member has opened one of their gifts. Then it's back down to the youngest, and round and round as many times as necessary.
