Anyone else have young children and need to work Christmas morning? This will be the first year I have to work morning shift on Christmas day (0600-1400) and we have a 5 & 7 year old. Mom and I think they would be miserable waiting around for me to get home to open gifts so we were planning to wake them up around 0400 and let them open presents, play a while then the three of them take a nap before heading over to my parent's house. Then when I get off at 1400 I'd go straight there and watch them open gifts from my folks and their aunts and uncles. Wondering what everyone else does that works tomorrow and has youngsters at home. Am I being selfish waking them up so early just so I can see them open their presents?

Extra hour or two will not hurt them!
BUT if someone wanted to argue it & call you selfish....I'd rather be called a selfish father for wanting to share Christmas morning with my kids, then so a hole that has no clue where my kids are on Christmas.
FYI - They are only babies for a short time! Blink and its over...
