Anyone else killing time?

[RickinPA]

In order to play Santa, I need to kill some time while I wait for my son to fall asleep. Presents are stashed in the garage.

I thought I would work on my profile. Anyone else killing time?

Yep, sure am

Waiting to make sure dd's are asleep for good.

I am right there with you. Thankfully, my kids agreed to opening gifts Christmas eve. Last year we were at Disney World at this time. I miss not being there. My oldest doesn't think being somewhere warm is right for Christmas. It needs to be cold. My daughter and I are suffering....Looking forward to our Disney cruise in March.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Wish you all the best of luck with playing Santa.

I have to admit, I also need it to be cold to feel like Christmas.

My "kids" are grown, but I love this time of year. I just finished watching Christmas videos and wrapping the stocking stuffers, I always save them for last.
Tomorrow my son and his wife and my grand daughter (21 months) will come over for dinner so we will wait to open presents until then. It will be fun to have a youngster around for Christmas.

I'm also killing time!! I think they are finally asleep up there so let the wrapping begin!

I remember those days of waiting for little ones to fall asleep! Now both of my "kids" are married and my DH and I already got the best Christmas present - we recently found out that we will become grandparents next August, so things have come full circle! Now we get to experience a child's Christmas delight through our grandchild!

Congratulations!

We have nieces and nephews only with the youngest being 11. Christmas is so much fun with kids. It will be a few years before there are great-nieces or nephews but I'm looking forward to babies in the family again at some point. There are so many cute Disney things for youngsters and I have no one to buy for at this point.

It's 2:30am in Michigan and just finished putting all the gifts under the tree, now for a few hours sleep. I hope the kids sleep until at least 8:30am. Merry Christmas

I woke up at 6am this morning (I know, I slept in today ) and now I am in a holding pattern waiting for the rest of the family to wake up and see what Santa brought. Since DS is college age, he probably won't be waking up as early as he used to....

It's 6:10 a.m. in Chicago, where we are spending Christmas w/family...DS,a 22-year-old law student, is still asleep; I've been up since 4, not-so-patiently waiting for him to awaken...

Our Christmas is both very blessed and very different this year...my elderly father was just released from a two-month hospitalization/rehab (legionnaires disease) 3 days ago...we're so grateful he got to come home for Christmas!

Normally he travels to us in the DC area...this year we came to him...so it's the first year in about 10 that we get to share Christmas w/my brothers & their families...we miss my sister, who is normally our "Christmas partner" w/my dad, but it's really, really great to have this time w/my brothers, nieces & nephew...and my sister, nephew, DS and I will do our "normal" Christmas when we get back home next week...

Traditionally, DS--the youngest (at age 22) in the DC family--insists on all of us getting up early Christmas morning and we do "round robin" presents, w/piles of jokes and fun stuff...we usually laugh til our sides ache...

This year, DS & I will exchange small (size) gifts and stockings; we'll then walk over to my dad's retirement community apartment (right next door to our hotel) and exchange gifts and share Christmas b'fast w/him...then we'll have dinner, and extended family gift exchange, at my brother's...

So here I sit at 6:15 a.m., wanting the fun to start...but DS still sleeps...who's the child in this equation??? Grin...

I am acutely aware of my blessings while I sit and wait, tho...my dad's recovery is almost miraculous, tho he still has a way to go...I get 4 separate Christmas'es this year...and I have the DIS to while away my waiting time, and Disney/DVC to brighten my life...we spent T-giving at BCV; we're going to AKV in January; I'm taking friends (w/young kids!) to BLT in February. I'm so very blessed.

Merry Christmas to all--and may 2010 bring all good things to each of you, and to our world...

DW and I are killing time waiting for our adult DDs and their spouse/bf to get up and at 'em. Merry Christmas

I thought everybody got up at 5 a.m. on Christmas morning? With our kids we had to set a rule of the sun must be up before we open presents....lol. They tried the 12:01 a.m. thing one year... that didn't fly.
