We will be in touch
Jnr FD (age 6) awake at 4:45 and still not gone back to sleep. He is genuinely excited, and keeps hearing Rudolph on the roof of the house.
It's going to be a long enjoyable day 😆
Up to go to work here
it was Xmas yesterday here - was a great day with a very happy 4 yr old
The xmas wreath banging on the front door in the wind woke me up about 5.00.
On the plus side all the veg is now prep'd 🙂
Been up ~30mins, still a fraction of a lie-in compared to a work day, although it's a bit odd for me to still be able to wake naturally without an alarm so early at the mo (body clock normally goes crazy due to SAD).
At least I get a while of peace, before the chaos that will unfold later, as much as it's nice to see the family I find it all a bit too exhausting!
Been up to take the dog out. kids still asleep FIL asleep downstairs so I just have to wait for everyone else to wake up sat in the dark...
Got up at 5.30, going for a ride in an hour then it's off to my parents for this evening for loads and loads of food 😀
Kids woke us up at 6. Trying to keep them vaguely quiet so all the visiting family can sleep.
Happy Chrustmas to the early risers!
Heard our 8 year old rattling about but me and Mrs spacey waiting quietly til 6 yo wakes, he always sleeps in on Christmas day the lazy devil! Have a lovely day all.
Dog woke me an hour ago for toilet. Debating whether to keep my tradition up of going for ride while wife lies in, it's bloody breezy out.
Been up all night. Not been been very good Xmas for a family
Off to bed to do another nightshift tonight. Stay safe people
Only the eldest awake but he went back to bed to wait for the other 3 I think he'll burst in the next 5-10 minutes though so just trying to relax before the bedlam begins!
Awake but kids aren't.
An shit bruneep I've had far too many like that take care bud.
Been awake since 6. Mrs Gastro won't let me get up yet. We're going for a run at 7:30 so she needs to get up soon
Awake since 3.
I've got insomnia, and if that wasn't bad enough, I can't sleep either.
Still, have a nice day folks.
I'm up, 5yr old been up and got back in bed failing to notice his stocking on the bed! Won't be long now I'm sure...
Up and about to pop out for a quick ride before breakfast.
All the kids in the houses around us judging by the lights on in bedrooms. It raised a wry smile.
Dog fed and relieved, Mrs is now sorting roast spuds to take away with us to Ms Sandwich for a late dinner in the Pub.
Happy Christmas and best wishes to you Bruneep.

Better than an xmas wraith.. they can be mordor this time of year.
Boom!
Presents all unwrapped time to start drinking.
Up at 4 for work
8:00am start for us, although the kid were up 3 times in the night between them.
I've caught a stinking cold so been up intermittently all night sneezing and sniffing. I seem to be popular with MrsBouy, I have been given the "one eyed stare"/"tut" routine 6 times already.
Kids hovering outside my bedroom door since about 7:30. Traditionally, only Dad can check to 'see if Santa has been', and its sweet that they're still doing this, as my eldest is now 13 🙂
