Given that they celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January, they really did.

Aaaah. I was aware that Serbians celebrated Christmas on the wrong day but didn't realise it was a regional type thing.

Inasmuch as any of it makes sense (or is remotely true), giving gifts on Twelfth night/Epiphany actually makes a lot of sense as it's the idea of the Magi bearing gifts which is being emulated I assume.

The Germans (and presumably other MittelEuropean types) have the main gift giving part of Christmas on the 24th.

Icelanders do the same: dinner at 6pm on the 24th and gifts afterwards.

ISTR from my time living there that they got their presents early December time - the 8th or 6th or something.

Here in northern Italy, which used to be Austria, the kids get gifts from the blind St. Lucy (13th Dec) and they leave out something to eat for the donkey she arrives on. That used to be the main seasonal gift giving day but Santa has swiped that honour in recent years. [topic]No chance of them seeing Dredd the movie here, though![/topic]

Yeah, The Sherman Kid deserves the DVD, not just for the number of times he's seen the film, but also the number of times he photobombed at the preview screening!
