You can choose whenever you want to open them but most people like me tend to wait until Christmas Day to do so. Once you have opened them acknowledge the contents and thank the present giver. That is what I would do.
 Or alternatively thank the buyer when you get them but say you won't open until blah blah and then post another message after opening acknowledging contents. |
