Woken by sound of kids arguing about whether or not it's too early to wake us.
Groan and tell kids it's alright to come in.
Get jumped on, then feign surprise at the wonderful things Santa has brought them.
Read thrilling letter from Santa I wrote the night before.
Open my own stocking and show genuine surprise at the wonderful things Santa's brought me.
Insist the kids at least eat breakfast before they can open any of the pressies under the tree.
Eat breakfast, then open presents. (Mine will take 5 minutes, and consist mainly of bottles of whiskey from well meaning patients who don't know I'm teetotal. The kids will take all morning courtesy of various benevolent relatives.)
Cook Christmas dinner.
Eat Christmas dinner.
Feel slightly sick.Â
Play with kids and/or toys.
Watch Doctor Who. (For a variety of long winded reasons TV is banned on Christmas Day except for Who.) Complain that it was a bit rubbish.
Point out to the kids that they don't need an evening meal because they've spent the entire day eating already.
Make something quick for the kids to have as an evening meal.
Persuade kids to sleep.
Start watching movie/ playing game that wasn't suitable in front of a child audience.
Get interrupted at an inopportune moment by a child who can't get to sleep.
Watch rest. Eat chocolate.
Sleep.
Boxing Day will be spent with my In-Laws, who being Muslim don't actually celebrate Christmas, but being In-Laws are none the less very insulted if we don't come over.

Throw in being a semi-drunk ninja whilst putting stockings on bed at a crazy time in Xmas morning & having a traditional pint or 2 with my brother at our local on the day & its almost word perfect.tin_robot wrote:Christmas stuff.
