You can open them whenever you want. Some people work on Christmas so the family celebrates earlier or later.

One thing that our family does is we open one present on Christmas Eve, and then all the rest on Christmas Day when all of our family is there. Maybe you can suggest that to your mom. If not, just be patient. What's so important that you can't wait a few hours? Everyone's going to be opening their presents then, so it's not like you'll be able to go hang out with anyone!
Oh, and to all the people that say "you need to celebrate the birth of Jesus"...Jesus was actually born in the summer time. The Church just made up this celebration of Christmas because it coincided with another pagan celebration (in which they had lots of festivities, ate feasts, exchanged presents...sound familiar?)

You need to listen to your mom. When I was a teenager we would sit up til midnight and my mom would let me open our gifts then. You have to do what your mom says to do. I don't let my kids open up there's until Christmas morning. I have a 12 year old and a 2 year old. Because the 2 year old still believes in Santa I make them wait til Christmas morning after Santa comes. Merry Christmas.

I get to open my presents on Christmas Eve since I celebrate the birth of Jesus! He was born at 12:00 midnight so open presents before. But this is 'cause I'm Polish! We go to mass at 12:00 every year so no time to open presents.
Since you're bored and DON'T believe in Santa... go to

The whole point of christmas is that it is the day that Jesus was born. If you don't believe that, then you may as well celebrate it whenever. Whether or not you believe in Santa has nothing to do with it.

Yea. SANTA comes on Christmas Eve so you should open them X-mas day. On X-mas eve you should throw a party and invite your friends!

So why not open them in May?
Be patient! It's only 24 hours.

just wait, suspense is most the fun, besides push your folks to far and you may not get presents next year.
