Not exactly how > we do it; we can't wait till nightfall, but then again it's always > dark as night at winter around here. We opened our presents yesterday on the 24th around 8 o'clock in the evening. It's the way it's done here in Denmark. You spend the day with your family and go to church during the day .. when the evening comes you gather and eat christmas dinner , cookies , chocolate , marcipan .. etc. Then you join hands and dance/walk around the christmas tree singing. Then you a place to sit down while some of the more impatient (usually the younger) looks at each present and reads it's to/from label and brings the presents to the people they are for. When all presents are delivered they also sit down themselves to open all the presents they recieved. Around midnight people go home or go into town to continue celebrating depending on preference. Merry Christmas. CeeJay
