Growing up I think our parents passed out presents and that child tore into it while the other presents were handed out.   In Larry's family they pass out all the presents so each person has theirs in front of them and then the youngest goes through all his first and then up the age ladder.

One at a time. For the kids, we pile them in front of each and try to keep it slow. I like to see what they get from everyone.
