My Christmas eve this year will go something like this...
Up early and slope out to the hairdressers for a wash & blow (7am appointment!) Back home to wake 6 year old DD who will be delighted to see that the Christmas elves have left her a hamper filled with a Christmas book, new toothbrush, pj's, slippers, reindeer food and a sachet of snowman soup (white hot choc) with a candy cane and Christmas mug. I'll then bath her and wash her hair and get her dressed and we'll meet some family and friends at our local pub who are doing a Christmas eve festival with food, music, games etc. We'll get home around 6pm and watch Carol's from Kings (might have to record it if it's already been on) eat turkey and homemade pork and chestnut stuffing sandwiches, drink hot chocolate, sprinkle then reindeer dust, watch the snowman and then DD will go to bed. DP and I will put the presents out, have a bucks fizz, watch some festive telly and then i'll go to midnight mass.
Christmas day will look something like this...
I always get up first, I like half an hour to myself with the lights twinkling on the tree, a hazelnut latte and a box of ferrero rocher DD will come down the stairs around 7.30am/8am and the presents will all be opened. We'll have a light breakfast of pastries, fruit salad etc. I'll collect my Mum and Sister around 12pm and they are coming with us to our local for Christmas dinner. After dinner we'll visit family for a couple of hours and then PIL's are coming to us around 6.30pm for a buffet, drinks and board games. We might have a couple of friends and their kids dropping in too.
Boxing day will look something like this...
A bit of a lie in and then a full English breakfast. A lazy morning with chocolates/toys/Christmas telly and then around 4pm we're off to my Cousin's for a buffet and board games. Home for some booze and party food with DP and at that point i've probably gained a stone.
