Open it and get it set up now. Kids will be much happier not having to sit through a set up screen and downloading patches and updates.
I'm assuming that's sarcasm because some of these games are better than half of the AAA $60 games out there.
Have you played recently? It's been patched like 3 times and now runs the same as on all the other platforms.
Can you set up an account and buy games before you've actually opened your Switch? Switch is a Christmas gift for kids. Would like to get one of these games at this price. Can I do it now or do I have to wait until after they open it and set it up?

Question, how does this work? Do I have to purchase directly from the Switch console? I had problems with EShop before on the 3ds. Wish it worked more like PSN or Xbox

Go to the Nintendo eShop and create the account. I highly suggest you link it work facebook, this will make it a LOT easier in the future to do transactions with Nintendo due to the way they handle online transactions.

The game should be linked to the Nintendo account that purchased it

Now days you can purchase on the eShop on a browser and the game downloads automatically to the console when it's awakened next.

I missed some game sale last time because I didn't have switch on my account. I just opened it very carefully and did updates and set up, so I can buy eShop games. Carefully wipe surfaces, pack it back up and now you're good to go.
