Anyone else's kids already woken up & opened their stocking?

Bloody hell... chocolate coins all over her bed, half the presents unwrapped. She's 8, has a bedside clock & can tell the time. Got overexcited & couldn't wait, apparently! We were just going to bed & she walked in, clutching a couple of toys, frightened the life out of me. DH is now laying in bed giggling.

Oh god, santa hasn't even visited yet here, waiting for teenagers to go to sleep, if my (almost) 8 year old wakes up I'm funked!!

Fucked, I'm fucked not funked you stupid auto thing!!!!

Quite literally... SAME! I'm so ready for bed and got soooo much to do 😩

We made ours go to the loo so they didn't wKe up again and will be putting stockings out now. Had to turn off the last30mins of die hard to do the presents

She's woken up & started on them again, devil child.

Yep, trying to get an over excited 7 year old back to sleep

Mine have!! It's 3.25 and they are opening stockings . I'm hoping they'll go back down now until morning. Hoping I am so hoping.

Nope mine are all asleep (9 and 15 year old sleeping downstairs) but I'm in bed with a to do list as long as my arm lmao

Oh no! There are going to be some very tired children tomorrow. My six year old has woken up but he seems to be dosing off again.

Not as early as yours OP!!
The cat nudged me awake at 2.30 for a cuddle, the rustling of tissue paper and “Pokemon cards!” roused me at 3.25. No chance of them going back to sleep, but they seem happy so I’ll take it and I hope we can hold off the living room until after 5.39

@Dancetherain I rather liked your original term! Merry Christmas

Not yet. 4 and 5. But I suspect it wont be long.

I am another one waiting for the adult/teens to go to sleep...

Have a 14mo here - thankfully still asleep but the night before they woke at 1.30 and then again at 4 so I'm hoping they stay asleep for a bit longer today (despite me being awake already 😩)
Though, they have an epic present so I'm sort of hoping they wake up soon to see it too 😅

One of mine (7) was up at 3:30 then every 15 minutes til I relented about 4:45 😣 and woke the other one (2) up who promptly pooped in her nappy! Moan

DD9, 415.

DH did go back in earlier & tell her she'd be too tired to eat Christmas dinner if she didn't go back to sleep, & did she want to miss the turkey & pigs in blankets (loves those pigs!). She went back to sleep & thankfully still is... I sense a disturbance in the force, though. She's usually up by now, watching cartoons & being very noisy, so it won't be long!

Ds7 and DS8 weren’t both asleep simultaneously by 1.30 so I went to bed and snuck stockings upstairs at 4am. They woke and got up at 4.03!

5.20 here. And we’ve also had a grump about not opening presents until after breakfast.

Still waiting for DS11 and DD7 to wake up. But I fell asleep at 9pm (worked night shift the night before) so not sure what time they went to bed.

Ds 7 has been up since 3;30. I’m shattered. He hasn’t opened his stocking yet.

Still in bed here, I'm too excited to go back to sleep though they are 3 and 1. Can't wait to see there faces.

5am start here. All presents (except those from the grandparents) have been opened!

I’m now lying on the sofa watching ds play computer games

Mine woke at 3:30 but I managed to convince him to go back to sleep. I, however, wasn’t able to.
Coffee please!

Mine were up at 12.30am(!!) and nearly caught doing stockings. Luckily it was so early they meekly went back to sleep and as they had seen the filled stockings DH took them away for safe keeping and to reduce temptation!
