He's not been yet, will prob arrive around 1 am when our teenagers finally slope off to bed. I suspect they don't believe anymore but have never actually said so 😁

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 24/12/2019 20:44

He's been! Everything is wrapped and we can relax! 🍷🎅🏻🎄

tinseltitsandlittlegits · 24/12/2019 20:45

Both kids were in bed by 7 but I won't put the presents out until just before I go to bed or I won't be able to relax in front of the fire lol .
( the youngest has requested Santa leaves her presents on the rug .)

fussychica · 24/12/2019 20:49

No he's not coming here until Boxing Day as girlfriend of DS is coming then. Despite him being 27 and it being his girlfriend we are waiting for he disappointed he won't be opening his presents in the morningXmas Grin

Newmummy1234 · 24/12/2019 20:59

Santa has been just in case he falls asleep on the sofa 🤣

Catapillarsruletheworld · 24/12/2019 20:59

No he’s not been yet. Probably won’t be here much before midnight. My teen and tween are still up and will be for a while yet as waiting for my perpetually late sister to arrive.

lizmum5 · 24/12/2019 21:28

He's just been to ours, kids fast asleep 💤

Galvantula · 24/12/2019 21:29

Fuck no.

Oldest is still awake despite having some kind of virus which has made him tired, grumpy and not eating.

I'm quite looking forward to my mince pie as well...

Allgirlskidsanddogs · 24/12/2019 21:37

Ha! 13yo went to bed just after 8 and she’ll be the last down in the morning but my grumpy teen has been so kind today. 9 yo went up with me just after 9. Father Christmas visited downstairs while she was in the upstairs bathroom. First year with no believers, spoils the magic somewhat until I remember the 2 blessings, both still awake in the own rooms.

Happy Christmas to all

ParkheadParadise · 24/12/2019 21:41

Dd has finally gone to sleep.
Santa won't be for hours yet. Plenty of time to have a couple of drinks🥂🥂

Two teens watching A Christmas Carol, one is out. Father Christmas has filled the stockings which are propped up just behind the sofa. I’m not faffing around later!

MrsJonesAndMe · 24/12/2019 21:45

I voted YABU because he's only in Italy at the moment Grin Grin

Merry Christmas!

Tylee · 24/12/2019 22:03

Kids were asleep by 7.30, I've just had a lovely evening wrapping everything up by the fire. Minor crisis when DD announced that she was scared of Father Christmas, but she went to sleep fairly quickly. Madeira drunk, mince pie and carrot still to go. Stockings all ready to go back in their rooms.

AreWeAnywhereNear · 24/12/2019 22:14

No!
I'm in bed having drunk too much DC, who are teenagers are watching a film with DH. I haven't even wrapped all the presents yet, I'm a crap mother, I'm hoping I'll be up before everyone and catch up.

To be fair the DCs don't really care & I've had a fab night out with friends still a rubbish mother

Bubblysqueak · 24/12/2019 22:14

Still waiting for them to drop off (they're 6&7) it's going to be a long night.

TW2013 · 24/12/2019 22:31

Still waiting for them to go to sleep. Hoping it won't be too much longer. Only need ds to sleep as the others no longer believe. Unfortunately he has a habit of seeming to be asleep and then re-emerging an hour or two later. He is still very much awake.

MinkowskisButterfly · 24/12/2019 22:33

And Santa has been...normally doesn't get here until 1/2 in the morning as he hasn't normally finished wrapping until then...very organized this year!

FudgeBrownie2019 · 24/12/2019 22:34

Both DC are exhausted and were asleep by 9pm. Unheard of for them both.

I will therefore be punished by them waking at 3.07am tomorrow battering one another with the light sabres that someone put into their stockings without thinking the situation through in an adult, rational manner. sideyes DH

itgetshardereveryday · 24/12/2019 22:36

Santa aka DH is currently building a superstation while I have a beer. All other presents under the tree.

IamFriedSpam · 24/12/2019 22:56

Nope my 7 year old is still wide awake and too excited to sleep Shock

IamFriedSpam · 24/12/2019 22:56

STocking pressies not even wrapped!

Newbie1999 · 24/12/2019 22:59

Santa only brings one present in this house. Mummy and Daddy get the credit for the rest!

Poetryinaction · 24/12/2019 23:02

Mine are still awake! Blummin Christmas coughs! It's going to be a looong night! (5,4 and 1).

ALemonyPea · 24/12/2019 23:05

Miss the days of mine being little and in bed by 7. Mine are all aged between 11-16 and no signs of them sleeping any time soon. At least everything is wrapped.
