Up at 5:30 to wrap the last of the presents. 😅

Happy Christmas! I'm the only one up in this house so far. Sat downstairs with my lovely dog having a coffee before the chaos begins. Xmas Smile

Morning 🍾🥂🥳 Merry Christmas

Been up for an hour. No one else up yet except for the cats. Just put the kettle on for some tea.

SmallGreenStripes · 25/12/2021 06:59

Morning! Awake since 6.30, lying quietly so as not to wake DH and DS (7) who slept on our floor last night! Also no sign of DS1 and DS2 (12)
Seems a long time since the 4.30am wake ups on Christmas dayGrin

SmallGreenStripes · 25/12/2021 07:00

Ah, coffee with the dog is a great shout! I might creep out and do that!

EezyOozy · 25/12/2021 07:00

I'm up. I really needed a good nights sleep but (unusually for me) I woke up every hour. Now awake proper and waiting the DC to wake. Must be excited.

Merry Christmas all! 🎄🎁🎉

Happy Christmas.
First year ever I’ve been awake before my children and have to wait for them.
To be fair they are 19 and 16 so had to happen eventually!!
Ds is 16 today and I’m just lying in bed listening to dh and the dog both snoring and thinking about this time 16 years ago!!

desperatehousewife21 · 25/12/2021 07:00

Kids woke up at 5:50, came into our room at 6.

Stockings opened they’re now in their rooms playing with new stuff while we try and come to.

WingBingo · 25/12/2021 07:02

I am also sat with a coffee and a dog waiting for DS’ to wake up!

They are 6 & 8 so I want to wake them up!

StruggleStreet · 25/12/2021 07:03

Up at 6:30 with the baby, now just waiting for the two year old to wake up so we can go downstairs together. She doesn’t really understand Christmas yet but hope she’ll still be really excited when she sees her presents!

2beautifulbabs · 25/12/2021 07:04

Morning just woken up now turned heating up ready my two little ones are still fast asleep was expecting them to wake super early so waiting on them to wake before we all head downstairs.
Merry Christmas everyone Grin

RonniePickering · 25/12/2021 07:06

Merry Christmas all Xmas Smile
I'm waiting for the 17 year old to wake up, first Christmas she hasn't been up at 6am!

NavaniKholinRocks · 25/12/2021 07:07

Morning! DD2 woke me at 6am for a feed and a cuddle. She’s drifted back off to sleep (on me) and DD1 & DH are still sleeping so it’s just me sitting in the dark scrolling through MN on my phone. If I had a cup of tea it would actually be a lovely calm start to the day!! Merry Christmas all Xmas Smile

solania · 25/12/2021 07:07

Morning all! I was awake at 6, got up v quietly at 6.20 to make DH and me a cup of tea, thinking DH's alarm was set for 6.30 (he’s a vicar so busy day for us). Turns out he was meant to be up at 6! Silly me for forgetting and silly his phone for not going off 🤷‍♀️

He’s given me a pile of presents which includes three baking trays and a large bottle of gin 😂😂 he knows me so well!

SadSplinter · 25/12/2021 07:08

I’m up too. I’m contemplating putting the kettle on.

Merry Christmas Mumsnetters!

DollyPartBaked · 25/12/2021 07:09

I'm up here! Waiting for my 3 year old to wake up.. trying to subtly make noise so he wakes up on her own!

cherrybonbons · 25/12/2021 07:10

Kids woke at 4 and were swiftly sent back to bed. They were fab and waited till 6.45. Now playing with their stocking toys whilst I try and wake up a bit

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 25/12/2021 07:10

Merry Christmas! I'm awake to feed 3 day old DS. I've had 4 hours in total and feel like I'm dying, 3 days post c-section too. I could honestly go back to bed and never get back out!

Newdad19 · 25/12/2021 07:12

Morning!

DD was up for a bottle at 6 and now sleeping on my chest as I have a cup of tea in bed. Our 2 boys came into our bed during the night so just waiting on them waking up now. A nice start to the morning!

Squiff70 · 25/12/2021 07:13

Morning. I've been up since 4am! Sitting downstairs waiting for DP and DD (2) to wake up. I've had a lovely quiet few hours to myself (and a negative lateral flow test) this morning.

Merry Christmas everyone!

ColinRobinsonsFart · 25/12/2021 07:13

No young children, just one adult (nearly 40) child and my parents staying. DH and I got up at 6am to take the Turkey out of the brine bath. Will get up at 8am to turn on oven - turkey in at 9am.

Currently tucked up in bed trying to ignore indigestion…..

Lou98x · 25/12/2021 07:14

No kids here, but me and DP are like children so are always awake early! Woke up first time at 4:30am and forced myself back to sleep! Now waiting for DP to wake up on his own (to avoid the grumpiness if I woke him!)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Fallagain · 25/12/2021 07:16

@TheLovleyChebbyMcGee oh God I remember that feeling. Do you have other children? If not then fir the next 6 weeks your job should be to feed your baby, change them if no one is around, eat, shower and brush your teeth and watch a lot of TV!

I’m been awake for about 20 mins. 2.5 year old is feeding. She knows what Christmas is but she won’t remember it today and I’m wondering if my 5 year old will remember.
