Poll: Opening Presents - Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

Its a big deal in many households- opening presents from Santa and family. But when is the best time to open the gifts- Christmas Eve night or Christmas morning? I suspect your views on the topic are swayed by when you and your family have always opened gifts, but here are my pros and cons for each!

CHRISTMAS EVE: I always opened my presents on Christmas Eve as a kid and loved it. Its what I still do. So I am a little biased! By opening presents in the evening, we were free to sleep in on Christmas morning. If we were having family over on Christmas, opening gifts the day before gave my parents time to clean up wrapping paper and boxes before guests arrived. However, this arrangement also means no presents to open on Christmas itself.

CHRISTMAS DAY: All the anticipation of the season is capped on Christmas morning. Opening presents also gives you and your family something to do until its time to go to church or visit family later in the day. But opening presents on Christmas morning also means a sleepless night wondering what is waiting under the tree!
