moment of impact

Christmas.
Its the night of Christmas eve, my siblings have fallen asleep to "A Muppet's Christmas Carol". I lay perfectly awake, counting down to the morning. Just waiting to see my brothers face when he opens up the present I got for him. It feels as if I had been awake for eons, but I check the time and realize only 3 minutes has past since I last checked. Then when you least expect it, you're out for the night. Finally I awake, looking at my surroundings, I notice I am not the only conscious child in the room. My brother is sitting patiently, hoping we will soon awake. Once everyone has awoken, mom and dad come downstairs and that is when we know Christmas has started.
