You think it's nice despite the fact
it's only ten past six.
There were 9 kids in my family; we started asking our parents if we could get up at 1:00 AM.
The answer was, "No."
Fifteen minutes later, someone else goes in... repeat the question.
Repeat until they realize they are not going to get any more sleep.
We never had to go through all of the kids.

My parents had a strict "You Will Not Wake Mom Up Before H:MM (no I don't remember the exact time anymore) OR ELSE" policy. Dad was generally up before then; but unlike Mom he is one of those unnatural morning people.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

grills??? I wasn't aware that grilling was a traditional part of Christmas cooking for any meal; never mind breakfast.

Right there with you. We also had the rule that we could not go down stairs until Mom & Dad had went down and turned on the lights before giving the okay.

I always slept until my natural morning hours (9:30 - 10:30), after all the presents would still be there... that and I have a rather deep sleep

That'd be me.
Was just one of those days at work where the brain refused point blank to play ball...

Bah, humbug! It's just another day except that the dog will be sulking because the butcher isn't open to give her a bit of sausage or ham like usual and there's a Dr Who special! Ho, ho, ho!

Yet another contribution to the true spirit of Christmas (the commercial spirit).

Personally, I'm partial to an Irish coffee made with single-malt Bushmill's.

Gawd! Ripping off the terminally stupid or "over-Christmassed".
I wish I'd thought of that...

He might have been a complete bastard yesterday but there's no need to inflict Tamworth on him.

More than 300 dogs, as well as a rabbit and a guinea pig...
Not a single cat.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It's well known that cats hate Christmas - that's why they kick the sh*t out of the Christmas Tree... 
It's the guinea pig meeting Santa that worries me...
