Help, there's no fire extinguisher's in the Cold Dark Room!
STOP-DROP-AND-ROLL, ADAM!!!!!!! That'll put out the fire!!!!and I'll try to smother the flames with this bowl of cold custard...!!!...
Same with my 11 yr old!! I’m putting tape across the hall so she can’t get to the tree until she gets us and it’s a decent time.
GLOOP!

Ugh!
That's done it.
Thanks, Bea, yummy custard!
Night all, it's 4.30 here, so beddy time even for me.
Sleep well, all!
Sleep well, all!
Whahaha. My 12 year old knows those rules as well. But he likes to tease. I have just been teasing right back that if I am woken at 5am then I am absolutely positively sure that Santa would not be leaving a gift under the tree.[emoji6] I am just glad that they can still get excited. Being an adult and the one who does all the shopping and wrapping etc. I found takes a little bit of that giddy excitement that you feel as a kid away. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy Christmas and get excited. It is just not the same as when we were children.We had rules in our house about not disturbing us before 7am. They were carefully taught what that looked like on their clocks.
The children always left their stockings for Santa by the fireplace, but Santa would leave the filled stocking by their bedroom door and the main presents by the hearth. They were allowed to open their stockings as long as they didn’t disturb us.
We always heard them “sneaking out”, usually somewhere around 5-6am, but they always shut themselves in one bedroom and then came into us on the dot of 7am to excitedly show us what Santa had left. Then we would all head downstairs to see if there was anything else.
I’m not sure how old they were when we had to start waking them to get Christmas started
Whahaha. What a good idea. The one year when the 12 yr old was younger he was determined to catch Santa. So he tied a piece of string to his door handle and to his toe. Only problem was when you opened the door the string went inwards so did not tug on his toe. We only found out that he had done that much later when we took his stocking into his room. That little scene has been one of my fondest memories for Christmas.
Here’s another idea for keeping restricted access to your Christmas tree.
Good morning, roommates!
Good morning, roommates!
Whahaha that is a good one.
Good morning all. Christmas is gradually coming together. I have a list....
Daughter comes home today. And I need to go to buy some brussels sprouts and some salad.
The kids presents are wrapped, but I haven’t wrapped JoesDad’s present yet. The turkey will be collected from the butcher on Christmas Eve.
So, me and my list had better brave the supermarket. I hate going there at this time of year

Good morning.
It just dawned on me that this is NOT Friday.
I picked up our ham yesterday from the HONEYBAKED HAM COMPANY.
It's just Kelly and I. It's 11 pounds. There should be lots of sandwiches..................
