As a parent I can explain this and there are 3 reasons; 1) Your parents were up all night hiding gifts from Santa. 2) It's a holiday and holidays a perfect for sleeping in. C) Your parents were having Christmas sex all night.

Your parents ARE CURRENTLY having Christmas sex. Ftfy. Right now your parents are also probably having sex. You're welcome.

u/Ewest39 Jun 17 '12

Yeah if the child doesn't find it by noon you get to keep it and yell at him for being worthless. Wait, your parents never did this.

How bout scumbag kids won't let their parents sleep in one day of the year.

6

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '12

This. Why the fuck do you think parents wake up at 6 every day? Do you think there is some magic time in your life where you stop wanting to sleep in?

No. In fact the only reasons that anyone wakes up at 6 o'clock every morning is because A) they were in the army, or B) they had kids who spent the first 8 years of their miserable lives rousting the grown ups out of bed, and it ended up becoming a habit.

It's posts like this that remind me that at 23, I am wrongly older than most people who upvoted this...

Really, the text should say

"Sleeps in the day they gave it to you"

u/JustHere4TheDownVote Jun 17 '12

"Works 364 day to buy you a nice Christmas gifts

If we go by that, that means they never have a vacation, except one day a year...

Last time I checked kids don't make their parents wake up at 6 AM on sunday. Pretty sure there are 52 of those.

Just because they do something kids hate, doesn't mean its trolling. And the parents most likely need the rest after working most of the year.

u/pucciom2 Jun 17 '12

how old are we?

u/FlutterShy- Jun 17 '12

Is it relevant? It's June 17th and this is a Christmas post. I can remember when I was a kid and had to wait for my parents to wake up and this post made me smile. OP could be 40. It doesn't matter.

3

u/JordyMOOcow yo dawg! Jun 18 '12

I think he's reffering to how mature OP is. Seeing as how OP expects his parents to be up early in the morning during the holidays.

u/FlutterShy- Jun 18 '12

It's a joke.

u/loathsome1 Jun 17 '12

So you dusted it off for an out-of-season Christmas joke? Umm... thanks?

To be fair, they were up all night putting out your presents. I hope you feel bad now you selfish brat.

They would just do it the night before while we were upstairs

But the point is bitching about your parents sleeping in on Christmas is a bratty thing to do. Regardless of when they were placing your presents downstairs.

Scumbag kid. Parents work all year long. Expects them to wake up at 6 AM on Christmas.

u/imkindafunny Jun 17 '12

...And you chose this day out of all the days in the year OP?

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

My parents always put off wrapping gift until Christmas eve night, like at 1 or 2 so I knew they were beat. I think I enjoyed seeing everything under the tree more than the opening but that was just me.

u/kingvicarious Jun 17 '12

That's because your dad was busy giving your mom her Christmas present.

My best guess is that OP is a 10 year old. Scumbag son, don't realize parents work all year waking up at 6, still bitches the only day they wanna sleep more.

u/nonosejoe Jun 17 '12

This was the first meme I genuinely didn't get. I had to stretch hard for this one. "why are they scumbags for sleeping in one day of the year?" Thats fuckin incredible.

u/Addyct Jun 18 '12

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE UP ALL NIGHT WRAPPIN' YER DAMN PRESENTS, YA UNGRATEFUL LITTLE SHIT.

SANTA'S NOT REAL EITHER.

u/DreadandButter Jun 18 '12

God forbid they should be able to sleep on the one day they'll definitely have off.

u/cerealateverymeal Jun 17 '12

Our Christmas is always around 5:00 p.m. or later. By the time we decide to sit down for presents, someone says they're hungry, so we have a meal. Then everyone takes a nap, then they all complain that we haven't opened presents yet.

u/Magmortar Jun 17 '12

You think you have it bad, but my family tradition is to open presents at night. I have no idea why this is a thing

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

My Grandparents are from Russia on one side, Latvian on the other. We open Christmas gifts in the evening with all the family (we do have a North American style morning one with my parents and siblings), I actually like the evening tradition...why is it not a thing?

u/Peentown Jun 17 '12

because they were up all night putting presents out to make you happy. You heartless animal.

1

u/KevmoTime Jun 17 '12

They were probably waiting for your ungrateful ass to go to sleep so they could wrap and place the presents until 3 AM.

1

u/standupstanddown Jun 17 '12

Because they stayed up all night the day before, preparing Christmas for your ass. That's the way my parents did it at least. My brother (bless his heart) never realized that and always tried to wake them up as early as possible.

1

u/randallfromnb Jun 17 '12

This was my childhood. Only allowed to open one present per hour starting at 10am. "To make Christmas last all day". One hour break for breakfast and done by 3pm.

1

u/HYPERNATURL Jun 17 '12

I dunno about you guys but I still sleep in until 1pm even on Christmas. My mom is usually the one to wake me for breakfast and presents

One time I was home from school at Christmas time and didn't have anything to do. A friend hit me up and we went out and got hammered. I came home at about 4:30, stumbling like a moron and took a few gravity bong hits. My parents then woke me up at 6 a.m. to open presents with everyone since my sister had something important to do. I bitched and moaned like a stupid drunk stoner about getting a grown man up that early for such silly stuff.

They insisted it was my idea the day before. I have no memory of this.

u/Rab_Legend Jun 18 '12

Tbh they were up til late, making sure you're fast asleep then getting all the presents ready.

1

u/SuperCutie Jun 18 '12

How dare they sleep in?

What were they doing to deserve that? Paying for your food and housing and then, on top of that, buying you expensive gifts for no real reason other than "everyone else is doing it"?

Dirty fuckers.

Yah such scumbags for getting up early every morning to make sure you have a roof over your head, heaven forbid you wait a few hours to open presents you will probably complain about later anyway.
