Here's a nice one. . .I never really 'sleep in' on this day. . .I'm up early for coffee, family, and gifts. . .nothing like celebrating pagan roman holidays in la casa de CS!

I get up the same time every morning, whether it's Christmas or not. And that's pretty early in the morning.

To this day, I wake up early for Christmas morning!! I developed a system that I've used since I was about 12...crack open one line of the blinds...every time (about 20!) that you wake up during the night, go back to sleep if the sun has not come up! If you have to go to the restroom, walk so that you do not see the presents under the awesome tree. And, surge out of bed when that sun is up!!! Of course, you have to wait for your parents to get their coffee and help them load the film into the camera, but it is worth it!
