My ex who lives in Germany always opened his on the 26th. I don’t remember why he said that they did that, it may have just been his family though.
I think some countries still do the 12 days of Christmas too.

In Denmark we open our gifts on the eve of December 24th. Our Christmas is not about Jesus and God and all that stuff. It’s a much older tradition celebrating the winter solstice and the fact that light is returning to the earth.
all of the family is together and we have a big feast, dance around the christmas tree (yes we do that), and then we open the presents.
