We always like to ask this as it's fun to hear from readers when they have traditionally opened presents.
Christmas Eve?
or
Christmas Morning?
2nd Man and I grew up with different traditions. For me, it was always Christmas Eve. We'd have dinner and then open presents after. But there were always a few presents for Christmas Morning when I was younger and Santa came.
2nd Man grew up with dinner Christmas Eve, then church, go to bed, and then wake up for Santa.
Now, he and I usually open one present Christmas Eve and then the rest Christmas morning with breakfast.
How about you?
Growing up, it was always Christmas morning! When the kids were little and still at home, it was always Christmas morning, too!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Christmas morning!
ReplyDeleteChristmas morning was always our tradition too. The earlier the better when we were kids! It still is, although now that my kids are grown and married, we sometimes have our get-togethers on different days depending on everybody's schedules and open presents then.
ReplyDeleteAll my life, presents were opened on Christmas morning. Santa gifts were never wrapped.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid, we always opened presents on Christmas Eve after a great evening meal. Christmas Day was church and a big family dinner at grandma’s house.
ReplyDeleteI think the custom of opening presents on Christmas Eve originated in Germany and Central European countries. This tradition is continued here by many with that heritage.
