One problem I come across on Christmas is sensory overload. Lots of gifts, so little time to explore them all right away.

I made an RSS feed for my presents using Yahoo Pipes. It's a video podcast feed that I subscribed to in iTunes, and every morning over the next 12 days of Christmas, a new present syncs to my iPhone, enabling me to enjoy it as I take the subway to work.
I'll probably share my presents in Google Reader, too, in order to spread the holiday cheer.
-- Seriously though, good tips. This year I lucked out by getting predominantly utilitarian gifts - a new wallet, some computer speakers, etc., which as soon as I got set up, could be immediately enjoyed. But normally, you're right - what's important during the holidays is to slow down, relax, enjoy the people you're with, and the presents will make themselves known in due time.
