Oh that did sound mean, oops. I’m not holding the gifts hostage
By the time we finish the party and head home (usually i bring home my niece’s & nephews or a friend home with us), they play and then everyone goes home or spends the night. It’s not like I’m Holding the gifts saying you can’t open them, they just usually end up getting opened the next day. This year my 11 year old made sure he told his cousins that we would see them later that night, so no one came home with us and he opened them up right away.
