This is me on Christmas morning. I've been this way since I knew what Christmas and Santa were. My parents would sleep and I'd sneak out to the tree, stack all the presents in neat little piles for the three of us and wait. Like a good little child I'd check out all the cool stuff Santa brought, peek in my stocking, and anticipate what was wrapped.
As a new parent some twenty-two years ago I couldn't wait for my son to wake me up on Christmas morning all excited because Santa arrived while he was sleeping. That never happened! While most parents beg their kids for another hour - I always had to wake mine up. Not that they weren't excited about the holiday, they're just heavy sleepers. I'm hoping the grandbaby and new baby are different! LOL Either way I'll be up at the crack of dawn waiting!
This year I'm blessed with a house full of children again. Hope this holiday season finds you healthy, happy and full of many blessings!

I still wake up at the crack of dawn, filled with excitement! My youngest is 20 and if she's not up by 6:30am I start poking her!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas.
Thanks for sharing! You will have fun this Christmas! I'll have everyone home plus one daughter's boyfriend, but hubby just came down with the stomach flu so I sorta think we'll all get the stomach flu for Christmas. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI try to get very early on Christmas to turn on the lights and take a pre-dawn dog walk or a jog on Christmas morning before everyone is awake. It's so peaceful and really gets my mind right about the holiday. Then I make a big breakfast and wake everyone up. I love it.

ReplyDeleteYou're like me Tessie!
ReplyDeleteKat, I love that peaceful time when the house is sleeping, but I get that everyday! :)
Thanks Fran!
Julia, I'm hoping the flu steers clear of you and the rest of the family.
