Wrap them! normally I would have added your friends are idiot but after hearing some of the reasoning I guess I can understand a little bit why they might think that.

I completely disagree though. Wrap everything! Heck my dad would sometimes take something small and wrap in in a box, then take like 5-6 other larger boxes and wrap each of them so it took like 10 minutes to get it open. It was some of the best fun from childhood - everyone sitting around with you as you tear open gifts.

Okay first off...

at the bad parenting comments. Really folks?

There were 10 other women who posted a comment on her status and 7 of them said unwrapped.

So I posted last night asking anyone of these women to explain to me why they would be unwrapped (using the same reasons I gave y'all) and no one has responded. They don't know is what I am guessing.

Granted, these are all Missouri people and they are beyond backward, so that could be it.

Why didn't you say that to begin with?

Thank you for summarizing the other posts perfectly.

But I will be leaving my top on today. I hate Christmas.

I will continue with my parents tradition of unwrapped/assembled.

However, if you are just putting them out there unwrapped and still in the box, that's just lazy. In the case of some toys, unboxing/assembling is harder than wrapping the damn things.
