It is my personal tradition to open the Christmas gifts that I received on or before the New Year. That means I just let the gifts linger under the Christmas tree so at least the gifts can serve as a sort of decoration. It is nice to look at the Christmas tree when there are gifts at the bottom. By the way, we remove the Christmas tree after the new year so it is just right for the gifts to be there.
How many gifts did you receive last Christmas? I have the usual number because the people who give me gifts are the same ones who gave me gifts last year. I am not really asking for more gifts because for me, it is the thought that counts and not the value or the cost of the gift.
