There are, perhaps, as many traditions related to Christmas as there are people who observe the holiday. The opening of a single gift on Christmas Eve may have begun as a commemoration of the great Gift of Jesus Christ, given to the earth by a loving Father. Other reasons for this particular Christmas Eve tradition may include the desire to have gifts of a particular nature be opened before Christmas Day, such as a new pair of pajamas. It may even be a way of helping smaller children to fall asleep more quickly.
Whatever the reason, I strongly suspect that this tradition is hardly limited to the United States. Each family will likely create and keep its own traditions over time.
