I know some families do this differently. I know some families open some presents Christmas eve and some on the day of. We have always waited until Christmas Day, but when I used to go to a party that relatives had on Christmas Eve we all got one present which we opened that night. This was the one from other family..Our main gifts were always done on Christmas Day. I always adherred to this with my own family too. What about you?

My family does it all on Christmas day as well. When we were kids we would open gifts from relatives on Christmas Eve too, then from Santa/parents we opened on Christmas day.

Yes, when we were kids we made out like bandits at all the holidays..as my grandparents were indulgent, and my parents to a certain extent were too.

@snowy22315 My parents never thought they did enough since there was 4 of us kids. We always felt like we got more than enough though and were very grateful!

Growing up, we always got one present on Christmas Eve. Sometimes it was a CD, sometimes it was a pair of fuzzy socks (I like socks, and my parents know/knew lol). I don't think we've done it as much since my Daddy passed away, but my nieces/nephew here get PJs on Christmas Eve (the youngest thinks they're from the Elves, and the older ones play along); it's kind of a tradition my older sister and brother-in-law have with their own kids. I still like to give my Mom something on Christmas Eve. :) The rest of the presents are opened on Christmas morning.

Most years we each open one gift from someone outside the family on Christmas Eve. IF there are gifts from outside the family, lol. We open all the other gifts Christmas morning. Even though you don't believe in Santa anymore, the anticipation of Christmas is so delicious!

When I was a kid, we always opened gifts under the tree from friends and family on Christmas Eve, and gifts from Santa on Christmas day. I continued this tradition with my kids also.

Yes, it is always kind of nice to open one or two a bit early if possible.
