Christmas Time

When did you open Christmas presents when you were growing up?
Christmas presents were mostly opened on Christmas Eve.  My niece and nephews (my age) always made my holiday special.  I couldn't wait to get to their house.  My brother would start teasing with us early in the day that we needed to probably wait until Christmas morning....... 
Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
All of our family presents were opened on Christmas eve.  One big presentt was held back for Christmas morning.
If you traveled, did your parents take the gifts, or did you open them early or late?
My parents always took the presents with us.
Did your parents have Santa leave presents?
I can vividly recall one of my first Christmas' walking into the living room and being surrounded by toys. I remember a life size doll that was just staring at me.....kinda scared me at first.
Were they wrapped or unwrapped?
The toys from Santa were always unwrapped........as a parent and grandparent there is nothing like watching the faces of my children as they walk in and spy something really special......
Did you have stockings?
I did not have stocking when I was a child.  However, during our first year of marriage my husband and I began a stocking tradition that still continues today with children and grandchildren.
What was generally in those?
Were gifts simple and practical or more extravagant?
My mom and dad (especially my dad) always surprised me with something special that I had really wanted.  This usually consisted of skates, a bike, dolls..... (huge baby doll fan).........etc.
Did you give presents to your parents and siblings?
Presents to my parents usually consisted of something that I had made at school. 
Were they homemade or purchased?
homemade
If purchased, did you pay with your own money or did your parents pay?
Store bought gifts were paid for using money from my parents.  At age 11 or 12, I got my first job wrapping Christmas presents at a local deparment store...........it was so nice to buy presents using my own money.
What are memories of special gifts you received?
I remember my mood ring.........I knew I was getting one and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.  I slipped it on and, of course, it began changing color..........loved it.
I remember a lime green bicycle with a banana seat and flag.  It had hand breaks and I could change speeds.  We all received bikes that year and we thought we were "bad" to the bone.  hehe
One of my favorite gifts was my skates........every child in our neighborhood got a pair and we played many, many hours.
Did you ever peek and find out what your gifts were ahead of time?
It seems like I remember being very sneaky.   
Did presents gradually appear under the tree in the days leading up to Christmas and were you allowed to touch/shake them?
Presents would gradually appear under my tree.  I love my childhood memories of Christmas.  It was such a special time.
