Do you open a gift on christmas eve?
Where I come from we didn't do that - where K comes from THAT IS ALL THEY DO.
So. Christmas eve with his family and the morning with mine. K tried to convince me to leave little things on odd days in the stockings before christmas, as surprises but I nixed it. The way I see it Santa does not have the time to make suprise visits before the big night.
