Default Christmas morning or Opening morning??

Which did/do you anticipate more. I remember that as a young kid, I use to really anticipate Christmas morning...getting up with my parents and two brothers and opening gifts and celebrating the holiday.
As much as I looked forward to and enjoyed that...I'm sure that my anticipation of opening morning is far greater.

Well, since I rarely hunt opening morning because of the pumpkin army and the fact that I like hunting in the snow, I'll say Christmas.

hands down opening day, because at christmas, you have some sort of an idea what you're goin to get, with opening day, its a total surprise!! id say opening day of gun season more than bow season, because gun season is more of an exprience that lasts 9 days, with thanksgiving in the middle, and no1 else in my family bowhunts, so im kind of alone on that holiday
