Eyes fly open.
Why am I awake?
Snuggle deeper into the blankets.
No!
It's Christmas morning!
Slip on bathrobe.
Run upstairs.
Gawk at tree.
Gawk at stockings.
Siblings run down.
Check watch.
Only 6:30.
Half-hour to go.
Sing carols, read stories to pass the time.
Finally it's 7 o'clock.
Half go upstairs to wake Mom and Dad.
Half go downstairs to wake Grandma and Grandpa.
Present time!
Thank God for our blessings.
Rejoice in the spirit of Christmas.
