But lucky for me, both my boys are actually men & I had to actually wake them up at 9:30am in order to have time to open gifts before going to visit family. But even when my sons were younger, we always had to wake them up for Christmas. But when I was young, we would go to bed with flashlights to get up in the night to see what Santa had brought. Lucky for us (and my parents), Santa never wrapped the gifts he left for us. That way, we didn't have to wake up parents to open gifts.

My six year old was wide awake at 3.30am, so he got in bed with me and after I convinced him it was not morning yet we all slept until about 6.45am.

At 10:30 am (well actually, I was up at 5 am but went back to sleep because no one was up), the Mr. and I were the first ones up Christmas and waited another 30mins for the kids to get up and come into the living room. it was like the scene from Thriller with them waking out of the graveyard.

Today, I got up to make sure the kids at least ate anything for breakfast and then I went back to bed with the Mr. We didn't get up until 1pm. Isn't life grand??

We tried hard to sleep in on Christmas Day, but our internal work alarms had us stirring before 7 a.m. We were so dissapointed. So we got up and got packed before driving an hour and a half to spend the day with my parents and sisters.

Hope you had a great Christmas,

I was good this year and had everything ready way ahead of time…so I got to bed around 11:30…of course I was up at 3:30 playing Santa for Mr. T…then couldn't sleep and was up till 5…still more sleep then you but not as much as I would have liked! Can't complain though…it was a great day! Sounds like you had a great time too!

We then called son #2 who lives next door and woke up his little famiily to come over to open gifts. My older kids have always slept until 7am or later on Christmas day…I feel very lucky to have such heavy sleepers!

I made coffee before we started to open gifts though! There was no getting through the day without it!

Miss Sarah woke us up at 1230 am and then the 3 of them were having a "party" in Lil Tony's room at 230am! Everyone went back to bed and woke up again at 6am by the dog!!
Sleep in this morning!!
Happy Holiday's!!

My sisters kids didn't come over til 11 am so we had a quite morning! I am usually up regardless but it was the only day this week I could sleep!
Hope it was worth it!
Hugs, Lisa
