Micah @rincewind.run · 25/12/2025OH, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE STOCKING THAT MAKES A NOISE, said Death. OTHERWISE, WHAT IS 4:30 A.M. FOR? - Terry Pratchett, Hogfather good night and good luck to every other parent with small children out there 171265161
DJ Uncle Fishbits @unclefishbits.bsky.social · 25/12/2025It's interesting to love him in more ways than one. Interestingly, Terry is the only man in human history to have talked about posterior cortical atrophy, something he shared with my mom, something I am constantly dealing with. I loved him before but I love him now. 050
Deborah @deborah-c.bsky.social · 25/12/2025My “small” children are now 28 and 29 and elsewhere, but a medium sized dog woke me at 6am. Will that do? (Alas, not through Hogswatch excitement…) 030
Kath @cattea.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Fave memory of my youngest about 16 years ago: waking at about 4am with him kneeling on my chest, staring intently at my face. As I blearily opened my eyes I was greeted with an intense whisper: “is it time yet???” 050
Lunchmoney_Al @lunchmoney.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Half 5 my boy woke up and started on the stocking. Nothing noisy to be found, but there was a bath bomb which prompted him to have a bath before breakfast 😁 050
Kimberly #MaskUp Ratliff, MSc @kimberlyratliff.bsky.social · 25/12/2025We watched the 2-part BBC Hogfather tonight, our Christmas tradition. Death has so many good quotes in the Discworld books, and a bunch of them made it into this production. Happy holidays! 0120
Chris Kluwe, adjudicated poaster @chriswarcraft.bsky.social · 25/12/2025I appreciate every part of this, but also pTerry *clearly* was not part of a Mexican Catholic family 0270

Faqa @faqa.bsky.social · 25/12/2025The real question is, will you be having THIS exchange on Hogswatch morning 0350
🍁Laura🍂 @littleedie.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Also cat moms whose children’s stockings have giant, clangy bells on them that JANGLE CLANGLE CLANGLE with every step cat moms take into the living room to try to hang the now stuffed stockings back up without waking the babies, so they’ll think Sandy Claws, filled their stockings when they wake up. 080
Heather Wallace @burntcopper.eurosky.social · 25/12/2025Told this morning the distant cousins did indeed get up at 4:30am this morning. 020
Dame Vincent @damevincent.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Oh man, the earliest my brother and I did as kids was 3am once. We were told to go back to our rooms and stay until at least 6 or they'd tell Santa to take our presents back. In retrospect, the fact to that mom and dad didn't kill us for it meant they really did love us 020
Jono @jonocarpenter.bsky.social · 25/12/2025When you have just picked up the wrapping paper two hours after the preschooler goes to bed and suddenly hear "Mum, what are you doing?" 0111
5.7 trad dad @tricam-tyrant.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Mr. No Nap still awake at 10pm on Christmas Eve 4 year old mini me had me truly questioning in my heart of hearts if human nature is "good" 040
Rosa @rosaluxlux.bsky.social · 25/12/2025The year my stepfather's gift was a giant pack of batteries and help restoring every noisy toy in the house to full functionality. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 151
ViennEase @viennease.bsky.social · 25/12/2025You're Austrian now, too, so get the whole thing over with on Christmas Eve, have crazy excited kids that play until late, and go to sleep after ten, and wake up at 9 on the 25th 160
