This doesn't only apply to kids. There are many adults that are under this category.

Hey kids - the trick is to set all the clocks ahead about two hours! It's all psychological...5 a.m. is acceptable to most people where 3 a.m. has more of a chance at being rejected. Of course, most parents probably remember doing this kind of thing too and get a kick out of it. The whole family will probably be dozing off by noon anyway.

I was guilty of this back in 80-82. The last time I actually walked in on them while they were laying out the presents. I don't have this problem with my own kids. I don't get them until 1:00 pm every Christmas.

My kids sleep until about 6 oclock and then our youngest usually is up and ready. I can never sleep well the night before Christmas anyway. so whatever. I can sleep Christmas night.not a big deal.

Been there done that and it was 2:00 am but I got caught and had to go back to bed.

I used to do this to my parents a couple of times in the past; I wake up at 3 a.m. Christmas morning and can't get back to sleep
