DD is being unreasonable isn't she?

I have been awake since 5.30 and 4yo DD is still asleep!! I'm itching for her to wake up! I can't go and wake her up before she's ready to wake up by herself though, if I do she'll be miserable all day.

I want to do presents! I want to see her face when she opens her beanbag chair she's been longing for, or the pirate ship that she so desperately wants!

Dd was still awake when I went to bed, I ended up sleeping in her room chatting in the dark, she's 10 and it was lovely, just us whispering in the dark, we got to sleep about 1.30am and she woke at 7.30, asking if I want more sleep as we had a late one, dh had been up since five and cooked the turkey :)

My two teenagers are still dead to the world. DH and I are watching The Clangers. I might go upstairs and be REALLY loud in a minute. I miss their childhood Christmases when they were up at the crack of dawn and excited to show us their stockings.

DS was up in the night being sick and so is now still asleep. I'm bored and really looking forward to him and DH opening their presents. Toddlers shouldn't be asleep past 9am on Christmas Day!!!

Oh you lucky lot, DS woke up at 1.20, came in and out of our room several times to tell us what he got, then went back to sleep until just before 6 and in and out of our room asking us when can they open presents.

Mine are teenagers and are still out cold, not expecting to see them for a few hours yet. Am making the most of it with a coffee and a mince pie and planning a bath shortly. I do miss the excitement of little ones, but not the early wake ups. Merry Christmas everyone!

DD1 (who is 23) is trying to wake DD2 (who is 18) by playing Christmas music into her room. I think it is working as i can now hear her coming out of her room. DD1 is running away fast! Xmas Grin

DD didn't wake till nearly 8! It was great, I was shattered and dreading the 5 am wakeup call.

We live in France where the usual tradition is to open presents on Christmas Eve (although not in my house) so I did say we could do them last night if they preferred, but they were adamant they wanted to get up.

I thought my ds was unreasonable getting me up at 5.20am! Except previous years I've thought him unreasonable for sleeping in. Poor boy Grin

That was thoughtful MaireJeanne, I have 4 DC in the house, 2 older teens and 2 adults and none of them will surface before about 10ish. I am enjoying a cup of tea in bed and on here because it will be the only chance I get all day. It is odd being the only one awake on Christmas Day, not like years gone past at all!
