*shudder* That's horrible. I can almost see having little kids open
gifts at their parties, but even then, there's so much wrong with it.
Take your gifts home, enjoy them, and write your thank-you notes. No
need to put them on display and make a five-year-old try to look pleased
when Aunt Emma gives him underwear again.
