Beerball Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Kids get to choose 1 each Christmas Eve, the rest Christmas morning.

Dr. Fong Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 When I was a kid it was obviously Christmas morning. Then it transitioned to Christmas Eve as I got older. Now that I have my own kids it's back to Christmas morning.
stuckincincy Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Kids get to choose 1 each Christmas Eve, the rest Christmas morning. Same, when I was a tot.
Just Jack Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Christmas morning, when I was younger, 7am. Now that we're all older, 8am.
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Kids get to choose 1 each Christmas Eve, the rest Christmas morning. Same tradition here.
Simon Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Christmas morning, when do you open presents? Christmas morning. But if I find your avatar under my tree, she's getting opened Christmas Eve.
Fezmid Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Growing up, it was always Christmas morning. My wife's family does it on Christmas Eve though, and since we live near them, that's what ends up winning. I don't like it, but what can you do? That said, my wife and I do our own Christmas when we get back home from her parents' house -- this year it'll be Saturday (or Sunday, depending on how bad the snowstorm is in the midwest).
buckeyemike Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Usually Christmas morning. This year, Kim and I opened our gifts this morning. Sadly, Kim has to go into work at 6:00 tonight, and 6:00 tomorrow night as well. That's what happens when you're a nurse. I'm joining my folks for Christmas tomorrow afternoon, and we're doing Christmas with Kim's family on Saturday. She's also going over to my parents' house to open her gifts on Sunday. So, we technically have four days of Christmas here. This has never happened before, and it's probably a one-time thing, even though Kim works every other Christmas.
HopsGuy Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Same tradition here. Lot of that going around. We still do it that way.
Jim in Anchorage Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Presents? I worship the Sun in a pagan winter solstice ceremony with the big cat.
thebug Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Kids get to choose 1 each Christmas Eve, the rest Christmas morning. Same here.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 Both. Christmas Eve with my sister's family. Christmas morning it's us and the kids. Then we drive to my wife's hometown for festivities with her parents & brother & sister + their families.
LewPort71 Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 One on Christmas Eve,,,,the rest on Christmas morn.
Dan Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 All on Christmas morning... as as possible, after coffee is in the cup. I never quite understood the "one on Christmas Eve" idea. Christmas Eve is not the holiday. Do you let your kids open birthday presents the day before their birthday? It just doesn't make sense, unless you have family or friends over that won't be there for Christmas to see you open the presents... maybe.
Kris Kringle Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 They should wait till Christmas morning.
