When do you open presents with your H?

ash273uk

H and I spend Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas morning with his family.  In the past H and I have exchanged presents with one another separately at his house, just the two of us. Since this will be our first married Christmas, and our first Christmas in our new house, I think we might stick with this tradition, but I'm curious what others do.

Do you and H give each other your presents with his family, with your family, or neither?

We go to H's parents house on Christmas eve. Thy serve chipino and all his family is there. This is when we get gifts from his grandparents. Then we go over to my parents to spend the night so that we are up early opening presents. This is usually when H and I exchange gifts, though its not set in stone. Then we go over to his parents again later in the morning to open gifts from his parents.

Christmas Eve, my family is coming to our house for dinner and we'll open gifts with them (mostly for my 5 year old nephew). Christmas morning, H and I will be alone at our house to open our gifts from each other then we'll go over to his parents house for a dinner and gifts with them.

We open gifts from each other on Christmas morning. I am a nurse and work on the holidays, this year unfortunately I am scheduled both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day nights. Christmas Eve will be spent with SS baking cookies for Santa, and DH will set up Christmas gifts from Santa after ss goes to bed. Christmas morning we will open gifts just the three of us after I get home (if ss wasn't here, we would open gifts just the two of us). Then head to my parents house, eat, gifts, etc. then to DH's aunt's house for more of the same. We try to take time for just us first thing in the morning so that we can sit back and enjoy the rest of the day with family.

We spend Christmas Eve at my Aunts home. Exchange and open their gifts. Christmas Morning H&I spend together and exchange our gifts. Plus open any gifts that were sent to us. Christmas Day is spent at Hs Uncles. Exchange and open their gifts. 

When we lived long distance we spent Christmas Eve at his parents and Christmas Day at my parents. Gifts to each other we're opened depending on what house they ended up at.

We havent set a tradition yet. We both work very late on Christmas Eve. We usually intend to open just one of our gifts to each other when we both are finally home but last year we ended up doing them all at that time. In the morning the kiddo opens his and we open ours from my family who lives out of state. We do not see any of his family on Christmas Day since we are usually exhausted from the week. This year will be a little different because my parents will be in town, so they will babysit Christmas Eve and come over sometime the next day. I'm hoping that this will be the last or second last year my schedule will be like that.

We give each other presents on Christmas Eve before we go to my parents annual Christmas Eve party. It's nice to share the moment alone with each other. Last year he gave me a beautiful sweater dress and I wore it to the party.

We usually will open 1 present on Christmas Eve night at home(after seeing family) and then save the rest for Christmas Day AM.

This is my first Christmas in years that I don't have to work, so DH and I will be opening our gifts on Christmas morning.

My family has always celebrated on Christmas Eve due to our Scandinavian heritage, and I wanted to continue that tradition in our marriage. We live in CT and my entire family is in OR so we go there one Christmas and stay in CT the next. If we're in CT we open our presents to each other Christmas Eve, if we are flying home to OR we will open our presents before we leave so that we don't have to to lug extra present all the way across the country and bring them right back home.
