[Harveysmum369]

Dean will prob finish about 5...I finish at dinnertime,so when I get in am going to do a last min tidy round when dean gets in we are having a takeaway and watching Elf xx

 

[Miss_Bump]

Before we had Evie we would meet up with our friends at our local pub (about 20 of us) and all get merry and stagger home

Last year, we were at MILs and it was so nice, DH still had a few drinks and when Evie was in bed we snuggled on the sofa watching silly shows on TV and opened a sneeky present.

Hope to do the same this year too

we go for a walk about 6-7 in the evening to see everyones christmas decorations on the outside of the houses then maybe have chips if the shops open or a takeaway and then we will sort all the presents under the tree and cosy up watching tv

OH normally takes the kids round to his mums for a while whilst I do a few bits and bobs, last minute wrapping ect, then we sit down and watch a Christmassy film when they get back..
We'll put out some mincepies, carrots and whatnot for Santa then they go to bed: )

Me and the other half then wait til the kids fall asleep, put everything out then go to bed aswell haha!

I might go to the green near the Church this year for a while for carol singing (with the kids obviously ). They do it every yr here but Iv never been.

then we will have family over here for a big yummy buffet made by me and games on the wii which is always a laugh!
then bath kids and put them in new jammies and slippers and snuggle up together
the kids will lay out milk and mince pie for santa and a carrot for rudolph
when they are tucked up set out all presents under the tree
thats if I have enough energy to do it all, will be ready to pop in the next 2-3 weeks

 

[Eve]

I am down the road from my parents and brother & SIL and grandparents so this year will be big family times! Probably food and visits Christmas eve, then come back and watch some Christmas movies and bed! I can't wait!

 

[Kate&Lucas]

Vix can I come to yours for Christmas Eve it sounds lovely

Our day is usually spent in the house, someone is normally in a mood, then we get a takeaway and open our new PJs and another present. Then me and my little sister stay up to talk and nose through all the presents.
Last year was so shit, I bought BIL a Santa costume because he said he'd dress up for Lucas' first Christmas, but he stumbled in drunk, ripped the costume by stuffing it too much, then got upset and had a row with my sister
My mum is making mince pies this year and hopefully I won't be living here so I'll just come round in the night with Lucas. And I'll be dressing up as Santa myself!

 

[vix1989]

course you can!!!

my day day before christmas eve and christmas eve, is like military.
everything has to be checked of the list and be done at exactly the right time.
OH gets really mad with me!! lol

 

[Laura2919]

Well this Christmas Eve is a Saturday, so I am off work so we will all be at mum and dads and have drinks and food, we dont eat meat on Christmas Eve so will have fish and lots of chocolate

Love it, cant wait

 

[Lauraxamy]

I'm getting excited with all these threads! Before LO we used to go off into town for drinks but last year OH finished work at dinner, we went on a walk and it was all snowy last year Came back, had a take-away and then wrapped LO's presents and put them all out when she went to bed.

 

[Tasha]

Usually it is me shopping at stupid o'clock (like 5am) for food, then get McDonald's for breakfast, then chill for a bit with Christmas films and dvd's, go back out get any last minute presents, come home and have a takeaway, give my children a bag of presents which include new pj's, slippers, book, christmas dvd, and sit watching a dvd after they got into their new pj's etc. They go to bed and we spend half the night wrapping presents

This year should be a bit different as we are staying at Butlins, so I will probably still go out early for food, and bring back breakfast. Then we go and do some fun things (dunno what will be going on), listen to christmas music with a takeaway, then wrap up warm for a stroll along the sea front, and send my Honey and Riley Rae a sky latern, then go back warm up with the bag of gifts and a dvd. Then bed, no late night wrapping as I am doing it all as we go

 

[lesleyann]

We will go to the inlaws proberly for dinner or lunch.. Then spend the rest of the day/evening just the 4 of us!

Its the plan so we dont go anywhere christmas day or have anyone round.

Will go to my parents boxing day

 

[lucy_x]

usually we get like a buffet meal, but this year i vote we get a chinese and watch films

 

[xSophieBx]

My dads a pub manager so me & LO will be staying with him & my mum at the pub.. So will have an evening with Lily upstairs and when she goes to bed, go downstairs and have a few sneaky drinks x

 

[Eve]

I am getting super excited too!! I bought a bunch of decorations the other day at a yard sale and I want to put them up!! I know it would make me a little crazy, so I am holding off until after Halloween but Mark and I both can't wait to put up the decorations... I always catch him Halloween night digging through stuff

I love the general feel of Christmas Eve. I am like a little kid! lol
