We're trying something new this year: opening up family gifts on Christmas Eve, and then opening up Santa's gifts on Christmas Day! It'll help keep the kids busy today, and then tomorrow afternoon we're traveling to LA anyway.
When are you opening Christmas gifts?

@mrbee: well we already have everything purchased. That's the first day after Christmas that we'll both be off work and not traveling.

Santa gifts and DH'a family gifts on Chrustmas morning. Gifts to each other and my family's gifts next week. And the girls already opened my parents' gifts with them last week. Our car was too full to carry everything to the Inlaws.

DH and I've always exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve so we're doing that again with DS this year, since we can still get away with it! We go to 8am mass Christmas morning with ILs so no time for gift opening until later in the day!

W did gifts between DH and I and a couple gifts for the babies on Monday night so we could do it as a little family. We're at IL's now so will open some more tonight and some tomorrow morning. Then tomorrow evening with my family.

We are doing DH'S family tonight. Then when LO goes to bed, we'll exchange gifts. Then LO will have presents in the morning and we will all have more to open at my parents house later in the afternoon.

We have so many family places to visit. We spread them out over the course of 3 days. So T opened his presents from family as we visited the past 2 days. Tonight DH and I exchanged gifts and T will open all of their presents from Santa first thing in the morning!

Usually Christmas day. Growing up, for some crazy reason we didn't open presents till the 26th! This year I already opened my present from DH since it was a Christmas/push present!

One gift on Xmas eve and the rest on Christmas morning unless we have travel like this year ,then we have a small family Xmas before we leave.

We'll be doing some gifts tomorrow morning, but my family is coming over in the afternoon, so we'll do the rest then. And then we're seeing the in-laws Saturday and Sunday and will open the rest of the gifts then!

We spend Christmas Eve at the ILs and Christmas Day with my family so we opened some presents today. We will open gifts as our own little family in the morning.

We went to visit my family this evening and exchanged gifts with them. We will open our gifts from each other/Santa tomorrow morning. My biological father is visiting to exchange gifts on Sunday. I doubt we will see the ILs at all this year (except SIL- who will likely stop over tomorrow night when she gets off work).

We had quite a few Christmases this year since my mom and SIL are traveling, so we did gifts with my parents in early Dec. and gifts with my in-laws in mid-Dec. We opened up our Christmas Eve pajamas last night and Lettie also got a gift from her grandma who is staying, but we will do most of our gifts this morning (Christmas morning). We don't have Santa gifts this year (haven't quite figured out what we're doing for Santa yet but L isn't old enough to care yet--11 months).

We opened all of our gifts Christmas morning with the stockings. Growing up though, we opened all presents on Christmas Eve and then just did Santa and stockings in the morning.
