we usually let the gk's open one present Christmas Eve-just before bedtime and hopefully not a toy that would keep them up for hours.
we open the rest of the presents Christmas morning-one of the gk's usually acts as Santa handing the presents around. I'm usually taking pictures of everyone else opening their presents so mine get opened last.
We used to go my parents house to exchange gifts with my brother and sisters and parents, but we can't afford presents for everyone this year so there won't be presents this year at Mom's and Christmas family dinner will be on Christmas Eve this year instead of the 25th. Christmas Day will be a day to relax and anyone that can will hopefully visit my parents and wish them Christmas cheer. (Dad wasn't too keen on the change in tradition, but it seems easier this way for my kids to bring their families over the day before, so the grandkids can enjoy their Christmas at their own house.)
