Get up at an insane hour in the morning (this isn't because of Christmas day, the cat normally wants to tear at the wrapping paper for days beforehand and wakes me up at 3 in the morning by tearing my feet to shreds. What a delightful critter.) and feed the cat, and throw some tinsel at her. Then attempt to sleep for half an hour, before a sheepish younger sibling shuffles through and says "D'you think it's too early to wake mum and dad up?"

"Yes"

"Ohh.."

eventually, we hit half 5 in the morning, when the little brother is too excited to stay upstairs. He bounds through to parents room, wakes them up, and drags them downstairs. After initial clamour, he rips open all the presents (I let him open mine too, apart from anything I'm not going to risk my hands when the cat's ripping up wrapping paper) and spends about 5 minutes hugging each present, parent and family member in the vicinity.

This is followed by a period of nothingness, in which mother fusses with wrapping paper, tinsel, the cat, father's empty wallet and gives counselling to father because something's already broken.

Eventually we hit breakfast, though nobody bothers to eat it as we're too busy racing the other. Next we drag the hungover older sibling out from his flat to visit us, who then throws presents from his car and speeds off into the distance. Mother drags him back by the earlobe and makes him spend the day with us. The time passes as nobody other than mother really wants to be at the table, and eventually the three brothers decide enough is enough and leave the table. All three play the newest console's newest game for an hour, before eldest needs a cigarette/alcoholic drink.

Christmas dinner, muchos yays. Christmas eve we're all secretly pleased that there's been no arguing, but we pretend that we're just being civil because it's Christmas.

Ta-da, you've now seen the inner workings of Ziola's family. :P

Wow Lol
We have cats they dont really like thw wrapping paper, they prefer to tear doen the baubles og the tree and run around the house with them in their mouths
Allthoguh ellie does like the tinsel, she just sits in a big pile of it killing it every now and then
:colour:

Get up open presents from mum and other family members, play with them for bit then go down the pub at 12 with mates for an hour go back home then my nan will come round, then we have dinner then we sit down have a couple of drinks, then we sit round the tree and open presents from my nan then we watch a movie then play a game.

Get up about 10, open presents whilst having breakfest and then play with them for a couple hours and then see my dad open his presents as he's always up late then go and get my some family members and have lunch and stuff until about 4 then take family members home come back and have a sleep then watch tele over dinner until early hours of the morning.

I will wake up about 6/7ish and then go and wake my 3 younger brothers up so they can wake parents. We all wait for about 10 minutes for my dad to get into the christmas spirit and open his presents from us in bed. We then all go downstairs and open our presents, it usually takes 5 minutes to get from the top to the bottom of the stairs as my mum has to be at the front of everyone so nobody can run infront of her and open the living room door. We all walk in and start pointing at each present and saying 'ohh, i wonder what that is?!'. We open our presents whilst the music channels our on. Me and my 2 youngest brothers will say thanks to my mum and dad whearas my other one will find something to complain about. Next we all play and mess with our presents, my dad goes back to bed and my mum balances breakfast, finding 312 batteries for the kids toys and picking wrapping paper up. About 9/10ish, my nan, grandad, 2 aunites and 2 cousins will come up to ours and give us our presents from then and stay for about half an hour. We then all get dressed and head to my nans for a bit - me, my dad, grandad and uncle go upto the pub for an hour whilst the women our fussing about whether there is enough food or not, my 6 year old brother is being sent up the street to my aunties house to carry chairs down from her table as their aren't enough at my nans. We eventually get back and we all have our dinner, my complaining brother will have another moan about something (probably that he is bored by now). About 6 o'clock, me, my brothers and parents go to my other nans and see them, get presents etc. We then go to my aunties were ALL the family meets on Christmas day, 2nd/3rd cousins etc, everyone and we all just do the usual 'christmas day talk', have a few drinks, some go to the pub about 11ish and others stay there. We will all go home about midnight and my youngest brothers will either play with there new pool table/bowling alley/anything BIG and that lasts untill about 2 in the morning, me and my dad stay up with them and play. :laugh: My other brother and mum will then me in bed, we then go up too.

Then we do all the same on Boxing Day, it's my nans family we spend the day with then. :laugh2: So yeah, that is my christmas day down to 'ttt'.

I did all the traditional stuff I suppose. When I was little I'd write a note to Santa asking for a few toys and stuff, leaving it in the fireplace. And the mornings were always SO exciting, I couldn't contain myself because I'd leave biscuits and stuff outside and sometimes wouldn't be able to sleep. One time I thought I heard jingling at night and that it was Santa with his reindeers (bless, lmao). Sounds cheesy but I pretty much believed in all that stuff when I was little. As soon as I woke up in the morning I'd just race downstairs by the tree and found some lovely presents, normally what I'd asked for as well! :spin2:

EDIT: I believed in the tooth fairy and all that as well. :hugesmile:

Aww bless
I never did any of that stuff, or at least i cant remember Lol
