8. On Christmas Day, gifts are not to be opened

Reason: On Christmas Eve, they open them.
Exception: None
The Royal Family celebrates Christmas Day a little differently than the majority of us (assuming we adhere to the holiday’s faith, that is). On Christmas Eve, instead of opening gifts then, they do so in the Red Drawing Room.

The Royals enjoy a festive custom of exchanging humorous gag gifts with one another during tea time on Christmas Eve. The Royals commemorate the holiday the next day by going to church at St. Mary Magdalene and then having dinner at their Sandringham Estate.
