Richard Osman said you can tell people’s class by when they open their presents and it’s the gift that keeps on giving
Here’s Pointless guy Richard Osman with his theory about class and what time you open your presents.
The issue of class, of where we all fit, and the boundaries that separate one class from another, are so complex and multi-faceted. But, basically, it all boils down to this. The later you open your presents on Christmas Day, the more middle class you are. #Sociology

My family opens them on Boxing Day, so are presumably actual royalty.

What the fuck are you doing on Christmas Day?
— Richard Osman (@richardosman) December 4, 2018
Not seeing most of my family.

You could have really stitched me up by saying “volunteering for Crisis At Christmas”, but you’ve missed the opportunity now.

What am I if my mum made us spread our presents out over the Christmas period, with one awful year culminating in last presents finally being opened on New Year’s Eve? 😫

One an hour so you pay attention and don’t just open everything at once. It’s the only civilised way.

I see. And perhaps open each one in a different room of your palace?
