To not want dc's to open presents before Christmas?

I found out that the children's gp's want to give them their Xmas presents next week to open. They have done a stocking for my dc's so it will be quite a few presents in one go. I know they are doing it to be nice but Christmas is a huge deal to me, I want it to be really special, and for me, a big part of that is the anticipation, hanging stockings up Xmas eve etc.

I feel that if they've already had a stocking it will take the edge off the excitement, and kind of misses the point of Christmas, in that we celebrate on Christmas day. I was going to suggest that they give them 1 or 2 presents but save the rest for when we see them on boxing day?

AIBU to think presents should wait for christmas day? I don't want to offend them but feel quite strongly on this

yanbu gifts are for the receiver, not so the giver can watch them being opened. Boxing day or Christmas day would be my choice to the GPs
