Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never for Christmas as we know it. However the Romans had a winter festival called Saturnalia which began on December 17 and one of the customs at that time was to exchange gifts. Our custom of exchanging Christmas presents is a direct descendant of this Roman custom.

What happened to all the gifts that were supposed to open on Dec 7th on Farmville?

your farm will let you start to open your gifts from under your tree on Christmas (Dec. 25), until that day you can only look at your wrapped presents by clicking on your tree and then clicking on "look inside". when Christmas day comes you can start opening your presents your farmville friends have sent to you. the presents don't just appear in your "gifts", you have to click on your Christmas tree and click on "open gifts" one at a time, then they will appear in your "gifts". presents have to be given to you by your farmville friends, and if they don't then you have no presents.

What did Grinch do?

He stole Christmas - or at least he tried to. The Grinch tried to steal Christmas by disguising himself as Santa Claus and taking away all of the Who's Christmas presents and decorations. However, when in the end of the book, the Who's start singing their annual Christmas song despite the fact that all of their presents have been stolen by the Grinch, the Grinch sees that it isn't the presents that make Christmas Christmas - it's the spirit of the people. At this point, his heart grows about three sizes and he becomes a good Grinch and brings back all of the presents to the Whos, and is welcomed for Christmas dinner - and gets to carve the roast beast.
