Then I'm still a kid at heart and get all excited and wake everyone up at 6am Xmas morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40524 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:35:39 +0000 lemondrop 40524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! I'm amazed at how many people open gifts already! We can only open one on Christmas Eve, and everything else on Christmas morning. With the boy coming soon, it was hard to think of what I wanted this year, as I'm already getting everything I want. </p> <p>I am currently using one gift- a new laptop, but so much of it is for working at home, so it morphed more into necessity rather than gift. Underneath our tree is pretty much full and ready for Christmas morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40503 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:11:02 +0000 Mrs.VW 40503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I are having our own little personal Christmas tonight but other than that we wait! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40468 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:11:21 +0000 tequiero21 40468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha omg you too funny!</p> <p>i haven't received any gifts. except from my hubs - which was given before xmas, and used already! (a new dslr camera!). but if i were to receive gifts, i'd get a tree and put it under the tree and open it on xmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40465 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:04:29 +0000 Andrea 40465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I always wait because they all look so nice in a pile under the tree. If we opened them, then there would be nothing under the tree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40464 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 08:56:29 +0000 Rubies 40464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've opened some already because when they were given to us, the giver would said, "Open it! Open it!" We'll probably open them tonight (in-laws are coming for dinner) and tomorrow (going to my parents' for lunch). On Christmas day we'll be running around getting ready for church. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40401 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:07:22 +0000 venice4504 40401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually opened them early last night. We'll have more tomorrow from his family and then going to mine on Sunday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40353 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:54:24 +0000 Meltini 40353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wait! If we get gifts in the mail, they go under the tree until Christmas morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40348 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:36:27 +0000 MsMamaBear 40348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One little one Christmas Eve, then the rest Christmas Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40346 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 22:24:48 +0000 Miss Adia 40346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We open one on Christmas Eve and then open the rest on Christmas morning.<br /> DD is opening some at her dads house on Christmas Eve because the tradition in his family is to open them all up on Christmas Eve and then spend Christmas Day eating and visiting family members and friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40217 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:47:58 +0000 mynoahbear 40217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gifts that come in the mail, I'll open right away unless they're wrapped individually. Everything else we wait until Christmas day, which kills my husband because his family always opened presents on Christmas eve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40204 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:20:34 +0000 CameronsMomma 40204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll open one of Christmas eve and the rest Christmas morning... I haven't decided which gift I'm going to allow my husband to open on the 24th though, I should get on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40202 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:13:53 +0000 MegWag 40202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's actually funny- the extent to which this thread upsets me. I literally just said out loud "No! Wrong, wrong, wrong!"<br /> (needless to say, I firmly believe in waiting until Christmas morning) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40175 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 17:25:51 +0000 Rosie Girl 40175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Well Christmas Eve we go to the in-laws, so we open their presents, but the rest is on Christmas, including Santa's presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40152 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:43:35 +0000 mediagirl 40152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I'm not sure if his folks are sending us gifts (if so, they're not here yet) and we already did my family Christmas. The rest of our gifts are from each other so we'll do those on Christmas Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40136 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:26:34 +0000 cyneswith 40136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We typically open one on Christmas Eve, and the rest on Christmas morning. Though I was a very bad girl and opened the petit fours my mom sent. There are no other sweets in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40123 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 16:04:05 +0000 cyndistar3 40123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well we generally have a Christmas weekend because we have so many people to visit. This year on the 23rd we will go to DH's grandparents house to have a Christmas, then on the 24th we will do Christmas at DH's adoptive fathers house and then on Christmas day we will open gifts at our house and go to my parents house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-40115 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:58:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 40115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always wait until Christmas. I love the anticipation! Usually we call my mom and open the gifts from her while she is on the phone with us. After that we exchange the gifts from each other. This year we'll be facetiming her though. I'm excited about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-39904 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:34:59 +0000 twodoghouse 39904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't open them as they arrive, but we do open them early. We like to open them at home before we leave on Christmas Eve morning. That way we sort of get our private time (and if my husband gives me underwear, I don't have to open it in front of his parents!). We open gifts from our parents on Christmas day though (his parents in the morning, mine in the afternoon). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-39871 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:19:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 39871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH blew the surprise on both our gifts (long story) so we opened the other day. Fam will be on Christmas eve &amp; Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-39837 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:56:35 +0000 heffalump 39837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We opened all our presents early and now have nothing to open during Chanukah. But we've been so busy I'm glad we did that. And my lo is 5 months so she doesn't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-39835 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:54:39 +0000 polkadots 39835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is funny.. I finished shopping yesterday...... DH, LO and I had christmas last night.. :) our weekend is full of extended family so we were going to do our christmas friday night... but we only made it to wednesday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-39833 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:52:19 +0000 carrieknitscake 39833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kind of wait. We just received our Christmas gift from my husband's grandparents. It was sitting in the post office for three days because they suck at delivering packages. It was Harry and David fruit and other stuff. The fruit's in surprisingly good condition considering it was at the post office for a few days. </p> <p>My husband's hardcore against opening presents early. The package received last night is the only one that will be opened ahead of schedule. We sent his parents a Kindle as a Christmas/birthday present. My MIL opened it right away on Monday, a week before Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-39831 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:48:46 +0000 BabyLove 39831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, wait til Christmas? That's funny. Are we supposed to? If so, my bad. I get soooo excited to open the presents for the LO. The ones for us, not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-waiting-til-christmas-to-open-gifts#post-39823 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 11:42:47 +0000 chopsuey 39823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gifts have been trickling in for about a week now.. and I've opened every single one of them! :D </p> <p>SIL came by with some gifts for my LO and I opened them this morning. LO's only 8 months old.. so she doesn't know the difference! </p>
