When do you and your family open presents. In my family we get a new ornament and pajamas every year we open those on Christmas Eve but everything else is Christmas morning. So I'm voting Christmas morning.

12am Christmas morning.
We always did it that early because as a kid I couldn't wait to open my presents from 'Santa' (who could?) now here I am 20 years old and still unable to wait lol.

Christmas Eve was our usual thing, most of the time we wouldn't even wait until midnight. My parents got tired of policing the tree area and just let us dig in at around 11:30 or 11:45. One year, I'll never forget, I was watching "TattleTales" on Game Show Network on Christmas Eve and it was around...maybe 5:30pm. My parents were just like..."You can start opening stuff if you want, yea..." Those were some good old days...

Xmas eve, in part to the old tradition of Xmas at Granmans place, then coming back home and doing that before everyone showed up (At one time, we had people from as far as Montreal staying over for 2 or 3 days, at Xmas)

We always open our presents on Christmas morning and even though I'm 19, I still get up pretty early to open my presents :).

Christmas Morning. We used to open presents from aunts/uncles/grandmas on Christmas Eve, but Grandma is poor and the kids are too old, so now we just play a game for $5 prizes.

On Christmas Eve we open one present, and then on Christmas morning you can open the rest.

That's how we do it also. But now that I'm a mom I put the clothes out first on Christmas Eve and let them open one gift. Later on I put the toys up under the tree for Christmas morning.

Since I got married, Christmas Eve has always been spent with my husband's family. Except last year, because they had moved to AL before us. Now that we are together again, the tradition will carry on.

Christmas Day is the day for my family. Me, husband and son...

It was always on Christmas Morning. On Christmas Eve we would go to my grandpa's house (God rest his soul) and we would open gifts there. And on Christmas Day we would open our gifts than go to my grandma's house and open gifts.
