How does your family open Christmas gifts?

[JParm]

Since I was a kid, I can remember us sitting around the tree while waiting for my Dad to play some holiday songs shortly after having breakfast on Christmas morning. We then went around the room one by one, each opening up a single gift in rotation so that we got to see one another's faces, as well as the gifts that were being opened. We would do this until the last gift was opened.

My wife's family is completely opposite, as it's more of a free for all. The first time we did it with them (our style), they were like wow, this is taking forever! Needless to say, my wife is on-board with how my family does it and it's the practice that we take with our 2 young kids now. Patience, oh little ones!

So, how does your family celebrate the holiday? Do you open gifts on Christmas Eve? Does everyone open gifts at the same time? What else do you do on Christmas Day?
