As a kid, when did you open presents?

We always opened Christmas Eve after we got back from my grandparents. My dad and uncle would leave and go put out presents at our house and turn all the Christmas lights on and come back to my grandparents before we even knew they were gone. When we got back home, "Santa" passed.

We didn't usually get presents at the orphanage.

I did presents from mom and other family Christmas Eve. Those were wrapped and under the tree for a while. Then Christmas morning I did Santa gifts and those were unwrapped.

My presents were never wrapped.

Sometimes on Christmas and sometimes on Christmas Eve….it depended on what shift my father was working He was a firefighter

Christmas morning. We'd go to midnight mass and my parents would tell us we had to go to sleep ASAP because Santa was already on his way. Gifts from our parents were already under the tree but on Christmas Day, Santa's were next to them.

Christmas morning, whenever I woke up.

My mom is a world-class gift wrapper (a skill I didn’t inherit) so they were always wrapped up perfectly.

One Christmas Eve, the other one Christmas morning - or whenever Dad showed up.

Only Christmas Eve if Dad didn't show.

We drew names even as kids. Those were opened Christmas Eve. The "Santa" gifts were unwrapped Christmas morning.

My entire family would watch Christmas Vacation then all family would open gifts Christmas Eve.

Christmas morning was only Santa for the kids and stockings.

After church on Christmas Eve. Santa would come while we were at church. Mom was always late getting ready and we’d have to wait in the car for her.

We would open one present on Christmas Eve after church. Christmas morning we would wake up to gifts from Santa which were unwrapped. Mess with those for a little bit while our parents got up then open the rest of the presents.
