Whenever not on duty at fire or the private ambulance company.
Ideally Christmas morning
When daughter was growing up, we did both. In Denmark and most European countries Christmas Eve is when presents are opened. We would have a nice Christmas meal on the 24th, ligth the tree, (my parents never had anything but real candles on the tree) as did most in Denmark back then. We would sing Christmas carol, I think Denmark or Scandinavia is the only countries, where it is tradition if you have enough people you join hand and walk around the tree while singing and then open presents. My exhusband was part Norwegian, and in his family they also celebrated Christmas eve as well. However, they also had a tradition of a really special breakfast on the 25th, pastries, scrambled eggs, bacon etc. So I incorporated that tradition into my Christmas as well, even after we were divorced. We opened most of the presents Christmas Eve, but left the stockings for Christmas morning.
As children we always waited until Christmas morning, leaving cookies out for Santa the night before. When the cookies were gone in the morning, we knew he had been there and we all tore into the masses of paper and ribbon. As we aged, the presents were opened by who was on hand Christmas morning. Some didn’t get opened until everyone was on hand for an extended family dinner.
Christmas pjs on the Eve and the rest in the AM.
