We live abroad and DH is four months into a long trip away with work for about nine months. He also recently met Gary Barlow (ITV viewers will get the hint).
I have flown over with the four children to my mothers after some emotional blackmail and plenty of past history of her being a bit of a demanding pain in the bum.
I am now sitting here on my own on Christmas Eve because my granddad, who normally sleeps down here on Christmas Eve, isn't really well enough to come over and my mother "doesn't think he should wake up alone on Christmas morning" so she is sleeping at his house. They won't be back here until about 10.30am as Granddad is a "slow starter" in the mornings
Am I being unseasonable to allow the kids to open all their presents at 7am and start drinking Buck's Fizz before they get back? It's obviously not fun for someone old to wake up alone on Christmas morning but it's also not much fun for me. Granddad is far from deaths' door and it's a bad back which means he can't come and sleep in my mother's unfeasibly soft beds.
