The inevitable question is when do you traditioally open presents?

My family always opened them on Christmas Eve. I grew up in an Athiest family who chose to leave on a short vacation first thing Xmas morn - and yes, I know, what's a bunch of Athiests doing celebrating Xmas? Well, first of all, we focused on the Peace on Earth part and my parents realized it was a lot easier to have there child get presents like everyone else so kids wouldn't give me a hard time at school.

Today, since I'm a Pagan UU I open most presents on Yule/Winter Solstice typically the 21st.
