No, that kinda defeats the object of the events themselves (if you look at them from a commercial point of view).

Well birthdays and Christmas have become commercialised events. Birthdays are supposed to be a celebration of another year of life, whereas they are nowadays an excuse to get presents and / or money. Christmas is even worse, given that it's a religious festival that has become the number 1 time of year for businesses to capitalise on their products. So, giving presents (which are commercial products) before the event itself defeats the objects of the commercialised events they have become. Originally Posted by Moh

We have always opened our Christmas presents on Christmas Eve (when everyone didn't believe in santa), have a late night (1am) and let everyone sleep in
In terms of Birthday's, I haven't actually had an early birthday present (or, that I can remember...)
