Christmas Eve or Christmas Day for family presents?

WHEN I WAS GROWING UP WE WAITED UNTIL CHRISTMAS NIGHT TO OPEN GIFTS UNDER THE TREE BECAUSE LIKE MY MOTHER ALWAYS SAID THAT ONCE YOU OPEN THE GIFTS CHRISTMAS WAS OVER. WE ALWAYS HAD PLENTY OF STUFF TO PLAY WITH AND COLOR AND OUR STOCKINGS WERE FULL OF TREATS AND FUN STUFF THAT WOULD KEEP US OCCUPIED UNTIL TIME TO OPEN GIFTS. YOU APPRECIATE IT MORE WHEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT.

Our tradition is to always open gifts on Christmas at mom and dad's house. Thankfully, my husband and I don't have to travel from place to place on Christmas.

Christmas day is our day.  When the kids were little the tree had no presents under it on christmas eve.  But when they woke up christmas morning it was full.

My family tradition has always been that on christmas eve the kids could wait up until midnight christmas day to open 1 present.  Then christmas morning open the rmaining presents in front of the tree.
