Christmas Morning - Ends 14th December

[James]

Every Christmas morning, I wake up, go in the shower (as loudly as I can), then go to livingroom and just wait for my parents to get up. Even though I'm 19 now, I am still a huge child when it comes to Christmas. I don't often go over the top with it, but I do absolutely LOVE Christmas. Me and my sister have a tradition of taking it in turns taking presents out from under the tree and giving them to who they are for. However, if we get our own, we must put it back and choose a different one!

For this competition, I would like you to tell me how your Christmas morning works out, and any traditions you may have. The craziest, funniest or best will win.

Prize: 1 Weeks VIP and 15 Rep

Basically I wake up and GO FRICKING MENTAL. I get a stocking still (because it's our tradition) and I always open it on my Mum and Dad's bed in the morning, so we do that together. Then I make them both a cup of tea and take it up to them and then we go down and open presents. Also, another tradition we have that, when we're putting up our decorations, we have a glass of Port and that taste is literally christmas for me! :Kiss:

Wake up far too early, end up going back to sleep and then waking up at more of a reasonable time, go downstairs get some, make breakfast and make everyone a drink. Open few of my presents, have bath and then finish opening presents. Go to the aunties and get our presents from her, chill there for a bit, go home have dinner and just watch television with a few drinks.

I share a room with my sister and we leave our stockings downstairs and by the time we wake up they're on the end of our bed filled with small presents. When one of us wake up we wake the other one up (the rule is we must have been to sleep, we can't just wait up to wake them up) - we go SANTA'S BEEN and we open our stocking presents. Generally this is usually around 4am and we love our presents, we also get a can of Pepsi and a packet of crisps in our stockings as one time I had a box of Heroes (the chocolates) in my stocking and I was so hungry I began eating them so from then on we've had snacks in our stockings too. Then me and my sister sit and talk until 7am when it's applicable to wake up our parents.

We go downstairs into the kitchen as the living room must be a surprise that we all see together, and we have a drink. Meanwhile my dad goes in the living room and turns on the Christmas tree as it's fibre optic and then we go in and see what's Santa's brought for the family. We then just pick a present out and give it to whoever's name is on it. After a bit we have a break, have another drink and then open the rest of the presents.

After that we have breakfast, then go to the crematorium to say Merry Christmas to my nanny (my mum's mum) as she passed away in 2011, generally we go to our other grandma/granddad's grave the day before. Then we used to go to our auntie's then our uncle's houses, but instead we see them on Christmas eve now. Then we go home and have dinner (it was my first Christmas dinner in around 5 years last year as I'm always poorly on Christmas). Then at tea time our step/half sisters come and we exchange gifts, after that we watch TV and do whatever.
