My MIL is the only one we get early presents from and usually she gives us some kind of ornament or decoration so I always open them right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-your-family-christmas-presents-today-and-said-you-could-open-them-whenever#post-384294 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 15:32:39 +0000 heffalump 384294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would open them. But I know my brother and SIL would also keep them and wait. I think they're crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-your-family-christmas-presents-today-and-said-you-could-open-them-whenever#post-384247 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 15:18:40 +0000 MamaMoose 384247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait!! If they were birthday presents I would totally go ahead and open them. But Christmas morning is pretty special to me and I would never want to limit my Christmas morning present stash : ) Especially not in early November!!! In my family we always open on present on Christmas Eve and I always try to open one that I think will be a really small gift because I want to save the good stuff for Christmas day : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-your-family-christmas-presents-today-and-said-you-could-open-them-whenever#post-384223 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 15:09:57 +0000 MrsHotDog 384223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would rip it open!

I like having more gifts on actual Christmas day, and if I opened things beforehand, there wouldn't be much the day-of.</p> <p>That said, I do open gifts early if I'm spending time with the gift-giver because they often want to see my expression when I open it and I like being able to thank them in person. But if a gift was dropped off or mailed to me, I'd save it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-your-family-christmas-presents-today-and-said-you-could-open-them-whenever#post-384144 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:43:22 +0000 SAHM0811 384144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd open my own now, but hide the kids' gifts so they can open them on Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-someone-gave-your-family-christmas-presents-today-and-said-you-could-open-them-whenever#post-384139 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:42:52 +0000 Turd Ferguson 384139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Save 'em.
