Here's why you shouldn't open your Christmas present too early

When you're a kid, there's really no time early enough to open your presents on Christmas morning.

But it turns out that opening your presents before breakfast apparently makes you seem "vulgar," according to etiquette experts at Tatler.

And even breakfast could be too early, with Tatler suggesting to wait till after lunch and a walk to open your presents.

Although the high-society site does give us a small gift in saying that we can open our stocking presents as soon as you wake up.

But for gifts under the tree it's apparently "...more acceptable to wait until that lull between the morning church service and lunch."

Which makes things a little awkward for those of us who don't go to church on Christmas...

But honestly, families with young children who have been waiting all night to see what Santa brought them will have a tough time keeping their little ones from tearing into the gifts... no matter how devout they are.
