The Christmas trap is a series of noise makers and booby traps to ensnare children sneaking out to the Christmas Tree early Christmas morning. And more importantly! allowing the parents to sleep in justa littel bit longer! It started out as a simple device for parents to get more sleep in the morning by preventing the kids from getting to the Christmas Tree! However over the years it has turned into a real life 007 experience for your children!
The rules are simple. If your kids actually manage to get through the trap and to the Christmas Tree without waking you up then they may open their presents! However! if they set off the trap and wake you up, your kids are required to wait until you have slept in, showered, dressed and eaten before they can open their gifts! It is amazing how cruel just a few hours delay will be for a 7 year old!
In our home the Christmas Trap is an epic battle between good and ... the parents. How many times have you listened to your kids beg to open their gifts even 1 hour sooner? The Christmas Trap offers the perfect compromise! Let them try if they will! and good luck to them! Usually even if the kids DO manage to get through the trap it will take them several hours to do it! Just think every hour it takes to get through the trap is another hour you can sleep in!
