Answer 1

Oh, yes. I am 45 and Christmas mornings of the past are still fresh. :*) My dad died 3 yrs ago. He had a horrible childhood as a kid of an alcoholic father. He told me (when I was much older) that he would hide on Christmas morning because his dad was always drunk and always mean. So, so sad. SO, MY dad made Christmas very special even though he really didn't like it because of HIS bad memories. (You never would have suspected.) He would say, (EVERY year!) "LOOK at that mountain of presents! Enough for an Army!"...I miss him.

Answer 2

I used to get up around 4 or 5am, put the tv on really quiet, open my stocking while channel-surfing, then fall asleep with the tv on till the rest of the family got up. My dad always worked jobs where he'd get very little sleep, so even as a child I never woke him unnecessarily or too early. He usually got up a couple hours after I did on christmas anyway.

Answer 3

Yes I do, I remember getting a green scooter it was outside my bedroom door and then downstairs was my stocking and in that was colouring pencils, colouring book, apple, orange,some chocolate and a reading book Black Beauty. It was the best Christmas that I remember as a child and that was 42 years ago, good old Santa.

I was kid no. 4 so I knew quite early that Old Nick was me dad in disguise. But it was good while it lasted.

We used to get nuts, an orange, a net bag of chocolate money wrapped in golden foil and a bottle of lemonade in a sock. Plus toys, like a games compendium, colouring books, spirograph, etch-a-sketch, hot wheels etc.

I was sure one year I heard bells and the reindeers hoofs on the roof. It was magical while it lasted.

Answer 6

Yes. My brother and I would be up at about 4, go into our parents room, be told by poor exhausted parents who hadn't got to bed till very late due to wrapping presents 'go back to bed, its too early'. We'd usually wear them down by around .30 then go downstairs and shriek at the presents under the tree. Check that Santa and Rudolph had their snack (they'd leave a note under the rug), open presents, back to bed with the annual of the year, surreptitiously eating chocolate, up again by about nine to watch TV and play with new toys while Mum got stressed and filled bag after bag with torn wrapping paper and fussed about the turkey.

I miss those days.....

Answer 7

Yes I do. I used to love the holidays, especially christmas because my whole family was together for that time of the year. Most of my family lives in different states, and its hard for them to come to every holiday so they always came on christmas. Now its no fun anymore, between divorces and deaths, that huge family gathering now seems like more of a chore and chaos than simple and amazing.

Answer 10
