Christmas Eve, late otherwise it looks a mess for days and kids mess with them.

We don't get the DC presents FC brings them all on Christmas Eve.

Presents from family and friends go under the tree on Christmas Eve morning. They stay in my bedroom until then. I don't like to do it any earlier as my Grandparents always left presents under the tree for weeks until they were burgled one year Xmas Sad Our tree is right in the front window so I don't take any chances.

That's awful notsomuch.

We put presents from friends and relatives under the tree as we get them but ours for each other and DS are put out just before we go to bed on christmas eve. Seems more magical that way.

We tend to do something special to add to it like covering the door frame in wrapping paper, filling the room with helium balloons etc.

We haven't got any 'from us'.
FC fills their Christmas sacks (in their bedrooms) and gifts from other ppl are knocking about downstairs somewhere.
No tree yet.
I'll put the family/ friends gifts under the tree after bedtime on Christmas eve.

FC only does stockings in our house. All big presents are from actual people and you have to say thank you/ write your thank you letters.

We blitz it on Christmas Eve.

As and when they are wrapped, same with everyone else's. Mainly because there's nowhere else to put them but also because the tree looks all weird and sad without the presents underneath!
DS has had a bit of a look/shake/furtle but he's not that fussed really.

Presents from us and family will go under the tree on sunday - once Granny arrives with them & we've bought ours to the DC Xmas Smile

Santa presents and stockings go out on Christmas eve once kids are asleep and they are wrapped!
