My boy finally went to sleep at about 03.30. Determined to wait up for Santa. Santa delivered at 04.00. Santa is now awake and on CL, my boy is Zzzzzzz.
Woke my whole family up for presents and bucks fizz at 5.30am... Probably a little old for this at 27 but I don't care. Best day of the year hands down

mine are 17 and 20 - it completely reverses when they get to that age - i'm awake and will be waiting for them to wake up for hours now - a quick - socially distanced - present drop to my mum and dad then a day of eating, drinking, films, cards and chess ahead - could be worse (oh and maybe a rate my plate submission - lets see how it turns out as i'm not normally head chef on christmas day!!!))
My son (5) is somehow still asleep. His bedroom door was wide open so he must have got up, thought it was the middle of the night and got in to a deep sleep. When he was 2 he slept in til about 9:30, must have been the last child in the country to wake up.
My daughter (3) is up and was happily playing in her bedroom. She’s just asked to go downstairs but I think that’s more about routine, I don’t think she’s expecting a pile of presents to open.
My boys got up about 7:30 but we're saying they cannot go downstairs just yet. I think they're about to explode with excitement and one of them keeps telling us how he saw Santa coming down the chimney. They've not long turned 4. This is what Xmas is all about. Loving it!
4 am was about the latest me and my brother ever lasted before waking the whole house up - earliest was when i caught my dad erecting a goal net around my bed at about 1.30am !!
Bit weird this year. CatJnr is doing his first ever holiday shift at the local hospital tonight. We’re not expecting him to rise until about 3pm and we’ll have the turkey about 4
Probably the last year I'll be able to get away with this
Got to lie in until 8:30 - Reckon with him turning 3 in February he'll start getting more eager
That's a good lie in for a two year old! Ours was up at 6.45 which is decent for him. His younger brother woke at 3.45 but always goes back to sleep thankfully.
7am was the agreed time between everyone except me, I have no say . The 8-10-12 year olds were up and the 14 year old had to be nudged as did I cos I turned off the 6.15 alarm (to give me 45 mins khazi time) rather than snooze or use it . The younger two are usually up earlier but a later viewing of Elf on Christmas Eve delayed them .

Laughed a lot, then told them to go back to bed until 7!

the boys did well.
Merry Christmas to me.

Brings back memories.
I'm an old man now with two 25/26 year old grandsons.
Enjoy these times, they will pass so quickly,
