21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? If we were at mom’s house, we would be opening ALL the gifts on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is a special night the family comes together for “party night”. It was always called “party night” from the time I was a kid and still lives on in our family. Mom sets the tone with lots of candle light and the Lights from the tree as the main light in the house. She prepares a wonderful meal and offers all sorts of homemade candy and cookies.
