Every Christmas Eve I have a few duties to attend to! After Mike & I got our excited girls to bed and got our Christmas Eve haul unloaded, I still needed to finish my final Christmas preparations! It's a tradition for me to watch It's A Wonderful Life while I work. Mike always falls asleep but for me I HAVE to finish the movie before I can go to bed! Unfortunately, this tradition kept me up till 1:30 am and now it's a tradition I will have probably have to reconsider. I was NOT expecting my girls to wake up 2 1/2 hours later! Yes, that's right! Maddy & Mikayla were awake at 4 am!
"SANTA CAME!" They cried! I tried my best to get them back to sleep but it wasn't happening. I managed to hold them off till sunrise but neither me, Maddy or Mikayla got much sleep! Mike of course slept like a rock all night.
Our tree when I went to bed... before Santa came!
Next year 'when' my girls get up at 4 am I'll be more rested and better prepared! I say 'when' because I expect this to happen again next year. Gone are the days of my girls sleeping until 7 or 8 am on Christmas! From what I'm told I can expect these early Christmas awakenings until my girls are teenagers. :)

My name is Mike Schuth from Wabasha, Minnesota. I have been doing a Schuth family history about our family in Minnesota and Lengerich, Emsland, Germany. I was just curious to know if you have any information about the Schuths in your past family history. Thanks, Mike
Hi Mike! I am married to a Mike Schuth. I'm only a Schuth by marriage. Unfortunately, I don't know anything much. Except that their origins are in Germany. Mike's Grandfather Edward died many many years ago. Good luck with your search!
