Sneak Around Your House on Christmas Eve

How to sneak all around your house Christmas Eve. Read this and you can look at the presents before anyone is awake!

Steps

 * 1)   Make a map of your house. Add stuff like what creaks. This way, you can make sure you make minimal sound while creeping around. This step is important.
 * 2)   Try to get an hour or two of sleep at least! I know it's exciting but being awake on Christmas is important. Set an alarm for about 3-4am. Your parents will probably be well asleep by then. If they are light sleepers step one is even more important and make sure they can't hear your alarm, but it is loud enough for you to hear it.
 * 3)   Stay awake for about half an hour after your alarm goes off. This will make sure that the alarm did definitely not lighten your parent's sleep and if it did, the half an hour can settle them again. Its all about taking every step to make it as safe as possible. To stay awake, you might want to watch a Christmas film, the excitement will overwhelm the tiredness. You could read a book, or even play a game with some old toys! No one's watching! Make it Christmas related so you are very excited.
 * 4)   When you get up, creep around your room, and practice. Then get a mirror and your map. BE CAREFUL!.
 * 5)   Watch out for creaks and everything you labelled! Make sure to check corners with the mirror.
 * 6)   To have a look at presents that aren't your main ones,open only the bottom and make sure when you place it down you can't see what you opened. The present can slide through and back in!
 * 7)  Return upstairs and keep yourself occupied. Remember you can start planning whenever you want! Even 20 days till the big day! Its fun, right? You can make sure to practice a few times. Run through your 'journey'.

Tips

 * Don't talk or whisper- people might hear you.

 * You could tiptoe down stairs or by peoples rooms.
 * Wear socks if you are on a wood floor so you are quiet.
 * Map out places where you can possibly hide so if you hear your parents coming you can quickly go into the hiding spot
