I'm being an Evil Aunt and making my niece and nephew wait until Boxing Day. I've always done it when I've been at home for Christmas, because I want to see them open the presents.
My sister has never fully approved, and this year I was going to let it slide. Then my Mum reminded me of how many people they ahev buying for them. On my BIL's side there are two Aunts and an Uncle, seven cousins, two Grandmothers, one Grandfather. On our side - as well as me - there is an Uncle, and Grandmother and Grandfather and a Great Grandfather. Boxing Day it is then.
I might even save my brother and SIL's presents until then, as we'll all be together at my sister's house. I make my own Christmas traditions.
