Critical Christmas Question!

[indigo_rose99]

When should Christmas presents be opened?

Every year, T and I argue about this. He thinks that Christmas presents should be opened on Christmas Eve "Because that is when my family did it." I think Christmas presents should be opened on Christmas day because (1) I think it is cheating to open them early. (2) Christmas Day is when my family opened them. Well, except on those times when we got home at 1am on Christmas Day from church and my mom couldn't wait. (3) If we open them early then what is the point of looking forward to Christmas Day?

What do you think?

I totally go for the Christmas morning version. Christmas Eve is for carols and cookies and, for those so inclined, church. Christmas morning is the gift-opening climax, with the rest of the day to be spent enjoying the gifts, watching football (again, for those so inclined) and preparing/eating Christmas dinner.

But, of course, that's the way my family has always done it.
