Heh that is I think a fairy tale in most homes over Xmas though DJ. I recone that most Xmas go long these lines.
Kids wake up at around 5:00am, parents awoken by noise, listen for 5 mins or so before realising that they will not be going back to sleep and reluctently get out of the warm bed to go shout at the kids to 'shut the fuck up'. Kids shut up but still awake and excited, at around 7:00am they deem it time enought bundel into mum and dads bedroom and demand they get up. They get up, kids want to open prezzies, parents want to get breakfast done first. Que first arguments, 'No chocolate for breakfast' 'No eat you food first' 'yes it is unfair'. Breakfast done in double quick time, opening prezzies begines. Yes this is a nice part, the look on their faces, is always good, kisses and ahugs and thanks all around, eating of choc starts. However at some time, you will either have to get the house ready for your family, or leave the house to go meet them. We meet in a pub, mostly cos there are a massive amount of us. I am the oldest of something stupid like 16 of us, most of us are married and have at least two kids of our own, and again yes this is a good time, being with your siblings and perhaps your parents, yet still not without it's inevitable family arguments. Besides my dislike for this time of year is not really a stress thing, I just don't understand why we make such a big deal over Xmas, it is after all a Christian holiday, I am not Christian, and to celebrate it in such a consumerist fashion renders it meaningless in my eyes.
