This year we had the family chat on Christmas Eve and reminded the kids of the "rule" that they don't wake us up until 7 a.m. on Christmas Day. (This is the same rule the Thompson family observed for my entire childhood!) The funny thing was I was the first one awake and SO excited. I was awake in the 6 o'clock hour just waiting for someone else to make a peep. I was so glad when I heard Tommy make the slightest noise at quarter 'til 7. I went rushing down the hall singing "Happy Birthday to Jesus" and squealing "Merry Christmas" at the top of my lungs!! The kids and I did happy dances around the upstairs while we waited for Charlie to get his shower (our family all knows that Charlie doesn't descend the stairs on any day before he's had a good morning shower!)
