OK, when do you open the presents.Xmas Eve or day?

[manho]

in england, xmas day. in italy, xmas eve.

[manho]

actually it's xmas day in both countries. it would be more precise to say, in italy at 00.01 a.m. xmas morning (after a long long evening's wait with a very bored and tired family, and in england when you wake up xmas morning.

[manho]

make that 12.01 a.m. i don't think there is a 00.01 a.m. though there obviously should be.

[dino]

mmm is 45 years that i open my xmas things when you wake up xmas morning

but wait, yes, downsouth people use to have the great xmas dinner on xmas eve- we polentoni we prefer eating all day the xmas day and open the gifts on xmas morning

cest la vie

[manho]

the north of italy is influenced by northern european tradition (turin/france, milan/austria) while the south has a more arab/greek culture.

when i said italy in the previous post i should have really said sicily. two different things.

Here in Quebec, the French open gifts and have the big dinner Christmas Eve, while everybody else who celebrates Christmas does it on the day itself.

[manho]

that fucks up my turin/france theory, then. maybe it's just dino's family that does it the anglo saxon way?

check out this cool chick:



nora hardwick (yeah, i know), 102, poses nude for a christmas charity calendar. only a red silk scarf curtains her mature busty substances.

i think all the guys here would be proud to go five rounds with nora, right?

I wonder if she saw The Beatles live.

[Cat Stevens]

or Robert Johnson.

[manho]

the beatles? well, she would have been about 57 when love me do was released so i guess she could have had a mother (or maybe grandmother) thing for paul.

Speaking as a first generation Canadian of Eastern European decent (catholic) we opened our presents Christmas Eve at around 8pm. Then we went to midnight mass.

I married a 5th generation Canadian (English/Irish decent) and they opened theirs Christmas morning.

Once married, we came to a compromise and decided to open one gift each on Christmas Eve and the rest would be opened on the following morning.
Actually, I enjoyed doing it that way best.

We open gifts at my Moms house on Xmas eve,cause we also spend xmas day there and dont want to open things in front of relatives you really dont buy fro. We do small things xmas day. But at home with Wife and kid, and when I was still at my moms it was always xmas day. And always the stocking when you first get up, which seems to get later every year. Of course that will change when Sam figures it out this year.

Funny you should post this. My wife and MIL are watching some awful Brit movie upstairs with Helen Mirren, where the ladies decide to do a nude calandar.

I hate those kind of movies.
