when do you give your Christmas present?

We did it Christmas Eve because dad didn't want to have to wake up early in the morning - not a morning person didn't EVEN come close!

we give each other ours on xmas eve night.. when i was little i would wake up to extra gifts on xmas day..

We give our presents one week in advance. WE put them under the christmas tree and everybody can have a guess what's inside the present. Then we open our gifts on Christmas Day. By the way your new aviator is going to drive men crazy! © ronaldinu 2008

for me i think few days before the Christmas is ok...but on the particular day seems more special :-)

Hi bomb, new avatar again? Yep christmas the busiest day in my calender. I dread the thought of having to fork out lots of money to buy gifts. But it is once in a year affair so never mind, just close one eye and indulge in shopping spree for christmas presents. I have around 40 nieces and nephews to distribute christmas presents every year. We normally give out the presents on the 25th december as it is where everyone gathers for the family reunion. Well, I love to see the kids happy faces receiving x'mas presents and it reminds me of my time where I received lots of those plastic dolls, remember it was popular in those days when barbie doll was not born yet.

I give my presents to family and friends about two weeks before christmas but never open my presents til christmas day. simply as it is more exciting to do it then but have never stuck to a certain time to do things like that...littleowl

we usually give the presents on 25morning after wishing everyone a merry christmas. happy mylotting.

We open a couple of presents on Christmas Eve in the evening. We open the rest of them on Christmas Day, morning.

We give each other presents on the 25th of December in the morning :)

We give out our Christmas presents on Christmas Day after we have breakfast. Then we all gather around the Christmas Tree and pass them out one at a time. When one person opens their gift, they get the next one for someone else. Then that person gets the next one and so on. We take our time and enjoy seeing what everyone got for each other. Then after the gifts are all open, we play games and have a good time.

You are not now in Philippines you are in Germany.Perheps you are now a German citizen.When you left Philippines you left evey thing of your motherland.You left your culture,you left your laws.Forget abuot Philippines.What the Germans say you have to do that.Do you repant?

yes i too gave away presents on the morning may before breakfast. it is a fantastic way to start the celebration. mostly we all will be buying new clothes and many goodies. i hope every one love the presents that i have planned to buy for them.

hi there and hope you are having a great day today. i am in the philippines, and here in our office, some are already starting to give their christmas gifts. i have received two gifts already and i am expecting some more anytime this week. based on previous experiences, as soon as its December 1, some friends are already giving away their gifts but for my family members, i do give ouot starting december 23, then december 24 and then december 25, who ever is available and reachable. thanks for the topic. very interesting.

we give our christmas present on christmas eve, right after we ate. we will bring out our gifts for everybody and sing while we give the gifts. we open our gifts together, its so much fun doing it.

Well, it depends. From friends I tend to give presents early and allow the kids to open on Christmas Eve. But from us, teh kids do not open til Christmas morning.

maybe one the 24th and the rest christmas morning always before we eat

Hi Bomshell, Every other year we give presents on Christmas Day and every other year on Boxing Day as my children (well two oldest ones) alternate spending Christmas day with me one year and their dad the next. If it were at mine each year we would give on Christmas Day. Huggles. Ellie :D

Well it depends. The holiday itself is celebrated on the 25th, all day. The day before is Christmas eve and as a family we normally have a brunch on that day and we exchange and open some gifts, this is where extended family as well attends. There may also be some events that are done in the month of December that is in the realm of Christmas but not the actual day. For instance you may have a company party and gifts are exchanged and opened. But traditionally Santa comes sometime in the wee hours of the morning on the 25th, so the little kids get to open the gifts that he left in the a.m.
