When do you open your presents? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When does everyone open their presents? In my family over the past two years it has become sort of a tradition to open our presents on Christmas eve. So, does anyone here open their presents on Christmas eve or wait until Christmas day to open presents?

I open my gifts on Christmas eve.

Christmas morning.

I have some relatives who always open them on Christmas Eve, though, and I'm always like "God! What's wrong with you? You're supposed to open them on Christmas DAY!!" (Not to knock anyone here who does it)

It's just that to me, Christmas Eve is a fun time to spend with your family and also anticipate opening gifts. I feel like if I opened them on Christmas Eve, then Christmas would just feel like any other day and be sort of a bust.

We always wait for everyone to come over Christmas eve, and we open only one present. Then, we wait for everyone to come over Christmas morning so we can open everything else.

Christmas Day.
If I opened them the day before, Christmas day would be lamer than usual.

Christmas Eve we open the presents from my Uncle John's family, Christmas morning we open gifts from my immediate family, then Christmas Day we open presents from my dad's side of the family at my uncle's house.

We open the majority of them on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day when my sister comes over.
