I totally agree with the fact that we are losing the fun of these events. Ppl need to relax and enjoy. These are times for bonding and fun, it's not just about the gifts and food. Some ppl enjoy wrapping gifts, they spend the time praying for the reciever or just remembering the person.

The addressing the envelope thing? I confess, I've had guests address their own envelopes, then used them for a drawing for a door prize. Ppl didn't seem to mind....lol
