Do you do housework on Christmas Day?

[Kibble29]

Prepared to accept that I’m a weirdo, but I’ll definitely do a washing (and hang it up to dry) and hoover. Once the day is done and the kid’s in bed, I’ll maybe do the ironing if there’s any sitting.

Am I a lunatic for doing housework that day? Do you do any?

Yeah, you're the weirdo.

No fricking way!

Absolutely not except washing up

Bare minimum, other than clearing up after dinner, loading dishwasher and turning on the robot hoover after dinner. While I'm sitting down with wine

No way!
but hoovering and laundry are not daily tasks in our house. We hoover once a week and do laundry on maybe two days a week depending on the weather for hanging out.

None

Ironing? On Christmas Day?
Haven't you got anything better to do? Genuinely.

I’ll be doing a deep clean this weekend so I’ll only need to make the beds, wipe around the bathroom and kitchen as we use it and make sure any dishes are done and rubbish is all tidied.

No, it’s a day off! Apart from cooking and clearing up from meals.

I'm guessing that's a question to me?
Because they get cleaned every other day. Is that ok with you?

No! Just the obvious stuff like the dishes. Don't do this, you'll pass this habit onto your kids

As I mentioned, I’d consider doing that when my kid is in bed that night. I can easily do it while watching something on TV or whatever, so it’s no hassle at all.

Obviously, the kitchen is kept immaculate, dishes are done and the table cleared/sitting room kept/left tidy. But no housework will be done, but I don't do housework anyway.

That’s an interesting point. Hmm, maybe you’re right.

Slightly different here as we are having Xmas day on Boxing Day here but my DD will probably spend a good hour sorting her room. She really loves a good potter finding a new home for all her new things etc. We love a super chill Xmas! I will do tidying and cleaning up after myself only from lunch time on Xmas eve until probs 27th

no I wouldn't apart from clean the kitchen after food. Why would you?

Food prep, clearing away after meals and tidying away gift wrappings.
That's it.
Ditto Boxing Day.
Christmas is for spending time with family, not making them feel uncomfortable by doing housework around them.

Will tidy up after the meal and put the dishwasher on, keep on top of mess in the living room. But no to laundry.

I'll tidy up the mess of the day but ironing on Christmas Day - is t that a bit...sad?

Make the bed. Wash up make sure kitchen is tidy ready to mess it up again Boxing Day.

The dishwasher gets loaded and unloaded, kitchen wipes down after cooking, rubbish gets taken out, robot hoover does his bit after we go to bed. Nothing more.

I’ll tidy up, put the recycling out, break down the boxes, clean down the kitchen and run the hoover around.

You can make life a lot more enjoyable if you just don't iron at all.

Definitely no washing and ironing - why would you not just get it all done before Christmas? I personally wouldn't do any housework at all but I suppose if people make a mess and you want to whizz the hoover round, why not.

Fuck no! How sad is that.

Clear up after food (DH cooks the dinner) and run the dishwasher. That's it.

It's Christmas! Time to chill, watch tv, eat chocolate and spend time with loved ones.
