Do people have Christmas dinner on the 24th or the 25th of December?

Either way. For many the Christmas Eve celebration is about the birth of the Savior, and the celebrating on Christmas day can be more family oriented and festive.
For many families, they spend Christmas eve with one set of grandparents, and Christmas day with the in-laws, so they could have a big family meal each day!

On Christmas eve I'm going to relax with my family and wonder what Santa's going to bring. Then on the 25th we'll open gifts and have a huge dinner.

I do both. We come up to St. Louis on C-mas eve to see our grandparents and then go back to Dallas late that night to sleep there and then get the "Santa" presents in the morning. Then, later that night, we eat dinner with our neighbors. We do both.

either way i suppose, my family has it on the 25th but others might have it on the 24th because of tradition, or because it's more convenient..

my husband is from guatemala and for him its all about christmas eve cause they stay awake eating and partying till midnight. then open gifts at 12am christmas day, wee morning hours everyone crashes, lol. so christmas day after you wake is really nothing for his family. for mine tho i will cook on christmas day but in the evening. nothing real fancy tho probably lasagna.
