Like many have said, when I was growing up we opened one on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Day. We didn't do the pj thing, but usually the one we got to open Christmas Eve was a sweater or something that my aunt made and wasn't much fun. Then Santa came that night and we opened all the fun stuff Christmas morning.
Now it's basically whenever we get together. Mr. SSS and I went to my parents' house on Dec. 16th this year, and we all exchanged gifts then. We spent Christmas at his parents' house. He has 10 brothers and sisters, so we do a Secret Santa for all the siblings and we exchange the Secret Santa presents on Christmas Eve. Everything else is pretty much Christmas Day, except this year one of my sisters-in-law and her husband and daughter (she's almost 2) opened all their gifts Christmas Eve because they were spending Christmas Day at her husband's parents' house. Then of course my other niece got to open a few too, so she wouldn't feel left out (she's only 4 and wouldn't understand why she had to wait while her cousin got to open gifts).
