You'd think they'd grow out of it, wouldn't you? My stepdad is 43, and he still gets up at 6am on Christmas morning. After spending the entire Christmas Eve night trying to convince my mum that it's only right and proper to open at least ONE present before midnight.

Yesterday, when I was out with mum, I had to take my suitcases with me. I had unwrapped pressies in there and I KNEW he was going to hunt through them when we were out. He was mega pissed off to be foiled.

Shouldn't Christmas stop being exciting when you're, umm, sixteen?!
