You wake up.
You don't know what's woken you
or what time it is
wait, you look at the clock-
it's 5:00 AM
but you're not tired.
You get up.
You run and wake your two sisters
who get up happily
whispering excitedly-
not like usually
when they're drunken on sleep-
because now they're drunk off of
eggnog and
pine scent.
You go to the living room.
The lights on the tree
twinkle and change
and shine
red, blue, orange, and green
on sparkling ornaments
glittery wrappings below.
You go to the master bedroom.
You bang on the door
"Wake up! Time for presents!
It's Christmas morning!"

yep, sounds like Christams at my house! Except that our parents put pur stockings at the foot of our bed so we have stuff to ocupy ourselves with so they can sleep in. We have to waite until at least 6:30 before we can go wake them, but we don't mind, we have your stockings after all, and they have small gifts and candy and coloring books and paperbacks and all sorts of things for us to do to keep ourselves busy for a few hours. Of corse, we never sleep on Christmas eve, so we never wkae up at all 
Great write. Brought back so many memories! Thanks for entering my contest! Merry Christmas!!!!
