Well the 'Tradition' for UK families is to open the presents on the 25th (which is also a public holiday) and the 26th is known as 'Boxing Day' (also a holiday) to recover from the day before.

Of course religion could come into this, or other circumstances where this tradition might not hold true for a UK family.

There is I suppose one other reason why we open them on the 25th, and that is because everyone is out at the last second on Christmas Eve buying the presents.
