Anyone actually get to open presents early or anything?

Yes, it's a weird question, but I'm sure someone out there gets early Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever presents sometimes.

I just got my PSp today, and was supposed to wrap it up and put it under the tree, but my mom let me keep it to play it (her reasoning being that I'm 18 years old now and it seems kinda odd to have your presents wrapped up and under the tree at an adult age). Up to this year, every Christmas Eve, if I managed to stay up late enough, my parents would let me open a couple presents before Christmas morning.

we used to get the kid-solution one present christmas eve...my parents got bored cause we'd always pick the biggest knowing what they were, so eventually they started just keeping the big stuff and setting it out unwrapped

December 6th is Saint Nicholas Day, so my mother-in-law fills our stockings with goodies. Then the gifts trickle in from clients at work. Then we usually split holidays between sides of families, so Christmas Eve and sometimes Christmas Eve Eve are Christmas celebrations. That's usually it though.

My sister and I have had a deal for the last three years. I get my Christmas present whenever the OC DVDs come out. Ohh, the festival of gently tearing away the clear plastic, to open my shiny DVD box set.

Otherwise, in all other cases, I get to open empty present boxes.

Money goes straight to the bank.

Generally speaking, I usually sneak into the present area and open the video games, take the discs out and replace them with blank discs. Then, I go back and play the games.
I have never been caught.

Yep. I get tp open FFXII on Christmas Eve.

Hooray for newer Final Fantasy games!

Kinda wish there were Jagds in it so I could get rid of Vaan though. o.o

It's a must that I open gifts before Christmas as I have five dinners/get-togethers/opening sessions I must attend.

I know a lot of kids are able to convince their parents that they can open one early, but at my house, half the family is Swedish, so it's like a custom thing to open one. On Christmas Eve. I guess it's okay. I prefer opening them all on Christmas, though.

We usually get one early. That's happened already. But I prefer waiting till Christmas.

I actually thought about doing that a few times but never got up the guts to.

That is one of the most horrible things I have ever heard .
