We didn’t go to sleep until about 3am - I was filling my 3 year olds and my partner’s stockings and arranging the presents in the living room until about 2:20am. I’m still tired but I can’t go back to sleep 🙈 My partner and child are unlikely to wake up before 11:30am/12pm and then we will do stockings and Santa presents in bed before going downstairs for the rest 🎅
My 3 year old has SEN and has no understanding of Christmas or Santa but he will enjoy seeing all of the presents and opening some of them - he will either get bored of opening them or he will unwrap something he wants to play with/eat straight away and forget about the rest so it will probably take him about a week or longer to open them all 🥰
We usually visit both of our parents on Christmas morning but we saw my parents yesterday and we will be seeing my partners family in a few days this year. I’m hoping it means ds has a much better day as his behaviour is usually much better when he wakes up by himself (he usually goes to sleep some time between 11pm-1am and naturally wakes up between 11am-12pm) and it’s too much for him to open loads of presents and move around houses and see everyone and then come back home for more presents 🤷♀️
I’ll be making buffet food later so we can all just eat what we want and watch tv/a Christmas movie whilst ds plays with his new toys/runs and jumps around 🤗🎄
