Well, as it's Christmas eve, some people get to open a present early tonight. Or you may have received gifts already. If so, then post now. :cool:

If not, then Merry Christmas and post what you get on the day. :D
 
I bought most of mine, parents gave me £100, plus i've spent some of my wages on my own..

Got some PC Games (NFS PS, AOE 3, Act Of War Double Pack) Some clothes, Jezza and Hampsters Autobiographys and a new Controler to play NFS with...
 
My wife and I are opening ours today. Mainly because we will be spending the rest of the Xmas period with families. We open each others today and then open the rest of them tomorrow. We also have Xmas dinner today! (Yum Yum!)

Well no as Christmas eve is the special day. Christmas day isn't that big. Polish celebrate this way. Not sure who else does.

A lot of parents also give kids one present new years eve, just to shut em up.
 
Yup I was in Austria last week, and they open their presents today, but they dont have Father Christmas!!! :eek:

The bottom part applies to me. :D But I usually go without, so I have the optimum amount of presents for the main day. :cool:

Also, I think Germany celebrate Christmas in that way as well. Open all the presents on Christmas eve, then they have a huge party on Christmas day as far as I know.
 
I got a mahoosive squad pic of the last Leeds top flight winning squad, signed by every member but a dirty frog :) Got a posh cafetiere and some Kenyan ground to go with it for the office (about to try it out), got a bubble bath Mr T as a secret santa pressie :cool:, got Moyles's second book and a bone china mug but thats not coming into the office. Got a new pocket PC too but had that a few weeks now.
 
My mum kindly informed me on the phone yesterday, that some of my presents from both her, and my siblings havent turned up yet.....so im happy to discuss what wrapping paper I received....
 
age old tradition in my family that as i'm away from all my family, mummy sends me a present i can open a few days before

this year she bought me a yamaha remote control boat
i love it
it works
in the sea
 
Some chocolate and a desk clock for when I'm away next year which was a nice thought. Only opened these early because some family are away today until 2008.
 
Don't get to open it until tomorrow but I'm getting a Nikkor 105mm VR macro lens. By the end of tomorrow people are going to think I'm actually a camera on legs :D
 
got some games, a years supply of creed, for the rest i'm waiting anxiously to see if the delivery van shows up otherwise i'm running into town to buy my mum a stopgap pressie.

I shall by flying out to France this afternoon after work (at least I hope so!) where I will be opening my presents and have my main Xmas meal this evening.

That's the way it's done there.
 
We open our presents on 6th Jan :eek:

Also we get to open some presents tomorrow too :D

So that means I get x2 presents every year since I married my wife.

Thanks to the spanish traditions :D
