We play the blanket game which involves putting all the tree presents under a sheet and taking it in turns to pull one out and see who it's for. They then get to open it. Just makes it more fun on Christmas morning for the kids as we've prepared the blanket the night before when they're in bed. It also stops things getting too chaotic as we always seem to have loads of presents to open.
This happens after breakfast. The boys open their stockings as soon as they get up, sat on our bed.
Oh and on Christmas Eve our tradition is to watch Muppets Christmas Carol and let the boys open one present each. There's probably more, and I haven't mentioned food, but that's something we do with the kids anyway.

I recall last year walking in to the lounge when there would have been a lively chat about the action on top of the pops. There were seven laptops/tablets on the go in total silence. I wandered off to my study to read my latest Asterix book before nodding off. Some traditions never change.
