I don't know how Sam did it. He had the patience to wait until about 7:00 before getting me up on Christmas morning. Even then he was subtle about it. He woke me with his "whistling" while he was walking from his room to the bathroom...back and forth several times. I suspect a lot of credit goes to Jake who does such a good job of distracting Sam and keeping him busy.

| The Stocking on Christmas Eve |
When I was Sam's age, my sisters and I would meet in my brother's room and wait for some "decent" hour to wake my parents. I don't know what hour that was exactly, but I do know that it was pitch black outside...and it stayed pitch black for another couple of hours.
Our method of waking our parents didn't involve gentle whistling, it involved yelling while running into their dark room and jumping on them in their bed. It wasn't as subtle as the whistling, but I don't think subtly would have worked at that hour.
