I've found that limiting gifts to $50 each adult and the kids get more helps, and also spacing out when gifts are opened*.
*I have not done this but suggested it, but can't get the whole family to agree, so I only imagine it would help - lol. Like 1PM is Reuben's time, 2PM is XYZ, etc. Our gift openings take an hour and it's just random and too much, feels like people should be donating more instead.
Also I find it tough to be with parents or in laws for more than 2 days at a time.
