Or they forgot an important detail when setting up
this gift-opening scene: When are gifts opened? In the
US, it's Christmas (25.) morning, while in Germany,
it's typically Christmas Eve (i.e. late afternoon
to very late evening of the 24.). How about the UK?
How about, say, Denmark? :)
(I'd guess this is supposed to be Christmas Eve,
after C. Dinner - unless the wine is simply there
to give the grown boy an air of adulthood, never mind
when this is - 8448 does take a little while to get built.)
