Did you ever stay up to see Santa? - Page 2

Valentine · 18-12-2008

My dad worked shift work at a local factory, so occasionally we would wait up for dad, then open presents at 12:30 AM.

I'm not sure how to answer this question, because over here, Santa comes between 4 and 5pm on CHristmas Eve, and I've never been asleep at that time (except, maybe, when I was not even a year old). So that would be a "yes".
On the other hand, I've never tried to see him, so that'd be a "no". Can we agree on a "nes" or "yo"?

I can remember as a kid trying to stay awake, totally convinced I would hear the sleigh land on the roof, reindeer and all. I never made it as I always fell asleep. And thanks Pojo for being the first to tell the silly story. Now I can't!!! Though if I had more time, I would write a story about Santa and Pojo, and it would be great,....and diabolical....yeah! And it would be how Santa would come to Pojo's house when he was a little boy, and how Santa would tie him up to his bed, and make him wear Christmas decorated diapers, yeah, that's how it would go, but, too late now. Nothing for Pojo this year. Only coal in his stocking. Boowah haha...Evil Santa has arrived, and as little children sleep, terrible nightmares dance in their heads. Their stockings were hung by the chimney with care, but this Santa would nestle their hair. Then with a wink and a nod, he would take them away, mouths taped with duct tape, and off in his sleigh. To the camp with the elves, who wait with delight, to torture the children on this Christmas night. So good night to you all, sleep well with your dreams, but don't sleep to soundly, for Santa is mean!

I don't think I did. I can remember not getting to sleep for the entire night out of excitement, but not ever actually staying up to see Santa. The thought never crossed my mind. I cared about what I was getting - Santa was a distraction, a rather fun one which meant everytime I went to a shopping centre I got some random present that kept me occupied for 5 minutes then cluttered my room until my Mum got rid of it in some jumble sale, but a distraction nonetheless. I stayed up for the presents, not to see Santa - even though I believed in him for longer then most people I knew.

Eh, I always "helped santa" get a head start when I was a kid by warapping all the chrstmas presents on christmas eve (because my mom had nerve dammage in her hands) and by the time I was done, it way deffinately time to wanna jump in bed.

My brother's birthday is christmas eve, so santa always got left a piece of his birthday cake. Looking back on that always makes me laugh.
