Do you open presents on Christmas morning or Christmas eve?

When I was a kid and still believed in Santa we would open presents from family on Christmas eve, and presents from Santa on Christmas morning.
Now we just open everything on Christmas morning.

Christmas Morning, though sometimes we've given out one or two presents the night before.

Typically have two family gatherings, one for dads side and mums side. One will be Christmas Eve, on Christmas day. Open presents from those people at their respective gatherings.
As for presents from direct family, Christmas Morning. Originally Posted by Elementium

A bit of both.
On Christmas Eve, my family goes to another family's house for dinner, and we open presents from each other.
On Christmas morning, we open presents from family members and other people.

Me and my family don't really take xmas so serious or however you wanna put it, we "celebrate" it on the 24th (eve), and open presents etc there. On 25th it's just a normal day basically, even if many celebrate "for real" on 25th and such.
Personally I just don't really see the point in celebrating both days.
But I guess in Sweden the most common is to just celebrate on eve.Last edited by mmoc898f6b28e8; 2012-12-25 at 02:36 AM.

We'd always do it on Christmas morning after waking up, but now I'm older i just wait until Midnight and then open the up in the early hours of Christmas morning, saves messing around when you've woken up.
Also, I got a new keyboard this year so I've spent the past 2 hours doing nothing but configuring it to work with Cubase (Surprisingly hard, didn't want to connect like most MIDI controllers) so that tomorrow I can get straight to recording after I've shown my face at the family dinner.

Mostly Christmas morning with the noted exception of gifts from my remaining Gran. She's got form & reputation for giving some.....bizarre gifts, to the point whereby if we don't open them up ahead of time there's a very real danger of us being unable to be able to say anything during Christmas dinner when she's over. To put it into perspective for you, through the years I've been given flowery pencils while I was at high school, numerous clocks, numerous items with my name/initials on them, a bloody awful hat this year & for the last 2 years - I shit you not - a toothbrush & toothpaste.... (My teeth are disintegrating at a fair old rate, understandable given previous history & it's something I'm kinda upset by, while she no doubt doesn't equate her gift with my insecurities around my teeth it was grossly offensive to the point where if she'd given me the same this year I was not having dinner at home!)
The general presents get opened on christmas morning because well, that's just what happens, open the presents, have breakfast then get on with getting dinner sorted out. Although as it turns out my threat about my gran wasn't required, she's got flu so is unable to attend - no need for me to "act" that my kid sister isn't going to steal the hat or field questions as to why I'm not wearing the Old Spice she's bought me.Koodledrum - Balnazzar EU - 85 Priest - Retired.

See, my grandmother always gets me Amazon gift cards. Her policy is that "I'm old, I don't understand you young people and probably never will. Just take some money and buy something you'll enjoy." :P Originally Posted by koodledrum

Both, as I visit both sides of the family in the 2 day span.

Growing up my family always opened gifts christmas morning, then went off to both grandparents houses throughout the day for dinner and presents.
My fiancee's family opens gifts on Christmas eve and has a big family dinner. They also have a big dinner Christmas evening. Very different from what I am use to, so my fiancee and I have decided to open the gifts to each other and stockings Christmas morning, so we can both keep our individual traditions.
