What I do dislike is the competitive element that leads mothers to try to top the other parties she has heard about.

No shock there... but what's with the "theme" for a birthday party? When I was a kid, a few kids would get together, eat a bunch of junk food and play in the back yard. <BR/><BR/>The theme stuff just doesn't make any sense. <BR/><BR/>As far as opening gifts, I like the custom of opening gifts privately. <BR/><BR/>~*thailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860476504120652781.post-27877030605828803492008-10-06T09:51:00.000-05:002008-10-06T09:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for putting my link up!

MQ is always disappointed when she attends a party and they don't open the gifts.
