Family Gift Traditions on Christmas Day

Does your family open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

I have a sister who is 12-years younger than me, so in my family we have always exchanged presents bright and early on Christmas morning. 

As soon as our baby sister was awake, so was the rest of the family. Down the stairs we went to see what Santa had in store. 

Some families wait until Christmas morning to exchange gifts, while for others, it's tradition to open one present on Christmas Eve.

Over the past month, some Patch readers have shared their Christmas traditions, worst gifts and best gifts with us.

Now we want to know, what is your family Christmas gift tradition? Do you draw names or participate in a white elephant gift? Do you pile presents under the tree throughout the month of December, or do you wait of Jolly St. Nick to come on Christmas Day?
