I voted for 'other'.
We don't have the tradition of Christmas presents in my place. My brothers and I never believed in Santa, so it kinda made no sense to buy presents and stock them up under the tree. Besides, the idea of our Christmas presents was going shopping all together and each one would choose what they would like to have.
When we got a present from uncles, aunts, grandparents, godparents, neighbours, whatever, we opened it at the moment we got it. And we still do
The December-January period is full of presents, though:
December 9th: Saint Anna's day. I celebrate my name, and so do grandma Anna and my cousin... Anna.
December 24th: My brother Thodoris's birthday.
December 25th: Christmas. My brother Christos celebrates his name, along with grandpa Christos.
January 1st: Saint Vasilios day. That's the Greek version of Santa Claus (so, technically, that's when the presents should be opened). My mother celebrates her name (Vasiliki).
January 22nd: Saint Anastasios's day. My father celebrates his name.
All five of us receive many gifts. Why wait for a specific day to open them?
See ya (and Merry Christmas),
AnnaBtG.
