THERE IS RARELY a more special time of the year to be a parent than Christmas, though it does come with its usual drawbacks – getting adequate sleep being one of them.

Mere hours after Santa has visited to deposit presents underneath the tree, kids tend to emerge bright-eyed from their beds, somehow bursting with energy.

Was that your experience this year? Tell us in the comments.
