Christmas morning

We awoke at 1am to happy exclamations, "He came! Santa came!" In laying down the essential Christmas morning rules, we omitted one important detail. We told Everett and Simon that they could get into their stockings when they woke up, and they couldn't open presents until we woke up at 7. But we forgot to tell them a minimum sleep time before they could get into the stockings. Lesson learned. So we told them they had to go back to sleep until 4, but they actually slept until 6. They slept in the hall on the hard tile floor because they were so anxious to get back into the front room and get to those stockings!
