For those with kids - at what ungodly hour do you expect to be woken up?
And for those with none/or grown up kids - will you be having a lie in or are you still big kids at heart and will be up early to see what Santa has brought you?
Plan on having a lie in.
Made the mistake once of waking the young albas (possibly 3 and 4 years of age at that time at 6 in the morning. I was really excited and thought it would be a good idea.
We always had to wake our son up when he was little. He was never put to bed early as a child so we all got up together. It worked for us. Being retired I can now get up whatever time I like. Christmas presents have always been after Lunch, except for a small Christmas stocking when son was little which was opened first thing in the morning.
I only have teen smow at home now but he still gets up really early with excitement - am hoping for after 7am ( if its still dark it will feel like the middle of the night!)
China - enjoy!
mazie - it will be a long day for you but you will love it.
yoga - thats early!
LL- I agree, I used to be a really early bird but now hate getting up in the dark.
I'll get up at about 9.30 am and have a glass of cava and drink to my hubby as we always used to do. Santa won't be bringing me any presents as I haven't bought myself anything but going to dinner at a friend's this year.
I usually stagger forth around nine, but my youngest daughter and our youngest grandson are living with us at the moment, and his default rising time is around 06:00, so if he doesn;t sleep in, it will be then, but if he does, then what ever time he wanders in and pulls the duvet off Gagad so he can get up and come and watch CeeBeebies!
ummmm that is the very first time i have ever directly pointed out a thread being in the wrong category, i usually don;t bother but seeing as it is one law for me and one for seemingly the rest on here i thought i would point it out clearly, i expect the thread will be moved to the correct category immediately if not sooner,
jan1957 - that will be nice to have a toast as you used to do, there are many AB'ers on their own this year, and many of them will probably log on here to all wish each other a Happy Christmas.
