    My family has a tradition where we open them at midnight.

    That is a great tradition.

    We'll probably take our time this morning and open everything, and then eat breakfast afterwards.

    Generally speaking, at my house we open the present from Santa whenever my brother and I get up (Yes, I'm 27. Yes, I still get Santa presents). After that we usually open presents around 9AM. This year is special, since my brother now has to go to his girlfriends families house, so we don't get to open presents till 2:00 this afternoon. Oi.

    Boxing Day morning. I'm tecnically allowed to open them on Christmas Day if i feel like it, but it's good self discipline to try and wait till Boxing Day.

    Note: I said 'try'.

    In the morning, we usually finish around 9-ish, and just hang around all day.
