I imagine this will mostly be too early...however, members in later timezones and continental Europeans may be able to contribute for now.

In Finland (where my mother is from), they open presents on Christmas eve evening, so in my house, we've had a couple of presents today...

So far I've had a pair of sheepskin slippers, a nice t-shirt, some very fancy looking chocolates and truffles, and a cheque which I've already earmarked for the upcoming sales :P

What about everyone else? And indeed, what nice gifts have you given others? :)

It isn't Christmas Day in my time zone yet, but I've already gotten a few gifts. Best one of them all is a Broncos jacket! Can't wait to see what tomorrow morning has in store for me! :)

My dad said he'll pay for my YHZ/SYD flights. I'm happy with that, atleast I can spend an extra $360 while I'm there!

Where abouts are you going?

If you're going to London, the Shard will have just opened when you go - the tallest building in the EU now. I'd definitely go there if I were you.

Well why wouldn't they? There are some great places to visit in the UK, and London is certainly one of the best cities I've been to.
