    Did your family of origin celebrate Christmas?

    Did you open presents on Xmas Eve or Christmas morning?


    (No, this is not my family. It's a 1940 pic from Life Magazine)

    It was the same in our house,open one gift Christmas eve,I alway's opened the one from my grandparents on Christmas eve because I knew it would always be a shirt or a pair of pants,I wanted to save the good stuff for Christmas morning.

    the secret was to fell the gifts to see which were the best, you could always tell clothes, i went for whatever was the heaviest..

    .

    Christmas morning .... but we had a very dysfunctional family ...

    I LOVE the bi-polar snowman. Every family should have one.

    Never on Christmas Eve,if we did that,then all the fun is over.

    winfia - all of my family and friends celebrate Christmas except those of a different religious persuasion but even some of those do little presents and gestures for the children. My personal family, we did not open presents until Christmas morning. The famous children's hospital in London - Great Ormond Street lit up like a Christmas tree at around 3am definitely after midnight and the children opened their Christmas presents - Santa had already been. I used to subscribe to "Life Magazine" now you mention it but not 1940 the year I was born.

    Dopey is a really cute Disney character, but I just can't think of you that way. I did a big bash for my 70th, probably a small dinner party for my 71st.

    winfia - you are not 71years yet - hope I'm around then. Nothing special happened for mine all the big bashes have been and gone - thank you again so sweet of you.

    Now come on lets get a few facts correct here - how can you open presents from Santa on Christmas Eve when he doesn't come down my chiminey until the early hours of Christmas morning when i'm asleep. You will all be saying that theres no such thing as Santa next!
