What's the earliest you've been up on Christmas morning?

[Kitty 34]

Our boys got us up at 5:00 a few years ago which was the earliest we ever got up.

With the boys being teens and older, DH and I will probably beat them out of bed tomorrow!!


Merry Christmas!!!!!

I refuse to get up at 5am. Especially since sometimes, that's when I finally am able to go to bed. lol

Seven has been the earliest.

When I was a kid, 12:01 am.

Merry Christmas to you too, Kitty.

When I was about 6 I woke up around 3:00 a.m. I thought I heard Santa downstairs. It turned out to be the cat trying to get at the catnip in his kitty stocking. I looked in my own stocking, and then the cat and I fell asleep under the Christmas tree.

Cute story, Diane!

I don't think it was any earlier than 7 a.m., but I could be wrong.


Well, in fact one year (not that long ago) it was earlier. I was sound asleep and my mother comes running into my room exclaiming "ITS CHRISTMAS!! IT"S CHRISTMAS!!"

I guess paybacks are a ......

Merry Christmas all

DD Sarah wants us all up and downstairs at 6AM.

I asked her why and she said "We've been doing it that way for 13 years!!!". Since she is 13yo, I guess she thinks that she has been running the show around here since she was born. And she isn't too far off the mark. We begged her to reconsider and the rest of us voted for 8AM. I told her to turn OFF her alarm clock and come wake us up when she gets up. Since she slept in until 1PM a couple of days ago, I'm hoping that I'll get to sleep until at least 7AM.

This reminds me of the old saying..............
It doesn't matter who wears the pants in the family....the one that wears the diapers runs the joint

Probably about 5 am when I was a kid. I know when I was in college and working the night shift, I was up at 3 am because I couldn't sleep... for some reason I couldn't get my family up at that time

LOL TC & Lars! Cute!!

As a kid, I don't remember and, I didn't care! If the sun was up, so was I!

As a parent, I think I've made them wait once or twice til about 8am.

(Yummmm, I can almost taste the cinnamon rolls we'll be having soon!)

 

[Snow White]

Usually around 7am, but now that they are ALL teens, I'm hoping for maybe 8am, yeah right!

Last year my sister woke me up at 3:30AM. The rule is that we aren't allowed to open presents, only look at stockings, until my brother, sister in law, and grandpa come over. This year they are coming over at 7:30...so if she wakes me up at 3:30 this year, it's going to be a long wait!

 

[catsrule]

I am up now, does that count?

 

[Lucky4me]

I'm up now waiting for everyone.............sometimes chronic insomnia can be a good thing.

 

[SCDizneyDawn]

I had to work night shift, so All night this year! As a child I was a VERY early riser on Christmas morning. But, this year is my earliest

 

[imgoingtodisney]

DH has been awake since 330am when he got up to fix the turkey and put it in the oven. I got out of bed about 530, still waiting for DS10.5

 

[Kitty 34]

My teens actually got me out of bed at 7:15!!! I thought for sure they wouldn't get up til later! They are waiting like vultures to get into their gifts!!
