The Zombie, The Fainter, and The Traditionalist

On Christmas morning in our house, there are three types of people for whom you've got to be on the lookout:

I bet a lot of you run into the Zombie on Christmas morning. The Zombie stumbles out of his bedroom after being called several times to come open presents at 8am, speaks primarily in grunts, and eventually retreats back to his bedroom. 



The Fainter is much less common than the ubiquitous Zombie. The Fainter gets so excited about her presents that she passes out. No worries, she gets up and is ready for her next present, only to faint again. 


You actually need to be on the lookout for this one throughout the Christmas season. Okay probably throughout the whole year. This one insists that each year be exactly the same as the year before, right down to the meal, the time presents are opened, what day names are drawn for Secret Santa, how the stockings are hung, and the placement of the tree and the ornaments and the people. 


Have a great weekend everyone! Linking up with Whitney! (Kelli and Lauren, this song is for you! haha)

    This is so funny. I think I'm half zombie, half traditionalist. Although I never realized I dislike change until you mentioned it. My mom and I did a different Thanksgiving this year and I really missed my tofurky and lazing around at home!

    Our Christmas traditions change every year, but I am hoping to find something soon that sticks! I love it when I know what to expect!

    I don't understand Zombies. Who the heck doesn't want to RUN to the presents on Christmas? Pete and I have already planned on opening our gifts on Christmas Eve because we just flat out will not be able to wait any longer.

    I love this! I remember when my baby sister would wake up SO early to open presents, which so annoyed my middle sister and me!
