i havent been out on xmas eve since i had my eldest 13 years ago.

i used to take her to our local church in liverpool for the childrens christmas service in the afternoon and they used to tell the kids the story of christmas, it was lovely. im not religious tbh but i think kids should know the true meaning of it.

anyway since i moved to coventry we just stay at home makes some cakes or something with the kids, get the veg ready for the xmas dinner and do some last minute wrapping, and then i sit down get the baileys and ice out and very a bit tipsy lol

We cook a joint of ham in the morning and have that cold with crusty bread and nibbles, then we go and see family!! Me and my dad always used to sit and watch A Christmas Carol together on christmas eve (the really old one in black and white) it was ace! We still try to now but sometimes it doesn't happen with work ect!!

Sometimes we go out for a drink but mostly just chill at home with films and nibbles! I always want to open a present at midnight but hubby never lets me!

I work on Christmas Eve so I can get Boxing Day off. But I do a morning shift for 4/5 hours, go out with my friends for lunch and swap Secret Santa pressies then I go home and just finish wrapping etc then off to bed early.

In the morning I get all tidied up, make soup and prep veg for the next day. Then we watch a Christmassy film with some munchies. In the evening I go to the children's mass with my mum and sister, it's lovely seeing the kids all dressed up as shepherds and angels. After that I pick OH and BIL up and we all go to my mum's for chips and a couple of drinks. Then it's home to bed before midnight or Santa won't come!

We've always done Christmas Eve at my dad's parents' house. The family all have dinner together and do our gift exchange after we eat. I went with my grandparents to Midnight Mass a couple of times and would love to start doing so again someday, but I have no idea what Christmas is going to be like for the next few years while the military moves us around. Adventures, I guess!
