CC, as ever, you crack me up!

), presents were never opened until late afternoon on Christmas Day. We had to get up, have breakfast, go to church, come back and help with Christmas dinner (or watch TV), have dinner, clear up, usually watch whatever blockbuster movie was on that year, and
then presents were passed around one by one.
I kind of got into the routine of that.

And it's fun to wait. So we - it's usually just John and me, although this year we've been invited for Christmas dinner by some very special people

- make dinner, watch a film, either on TV or DVD, and then make coffee and open our presents.

So, while the Amazon boxes build up, they get stacked neatly in an appropriate place and we just look at them occasionally.
