Are you still in Christmas mode? What are you up to today?

Everyone else is asleep and I am watching Emma Willis deliver some babies, whilst cuddling my dogs.

Very much still in Christmas mode and thinking of what chocolates I have left.

Also considering ordering this dressing gown in pink, as I just keep coming back to it.

Probably need to leave the house for bread and milk but might just send someone else.

Managed to tidy the kitchen and do some washing too. Go me!

kind of Christmas mode in that I’m still eating celebrations for breakfast and Pringles in between meals and in fact meals are non existent and we are just eating as we go. But I’m on day 7 of working all week and tired so don’t feel as Christmassy and do feel a bit sad that I’ve had to work over it all and by the time I finish it kind of is all over… my week off will be spent tidying and putting away Christmas. Joy!
Plans today- work til 5 then takeaway with family we didn’t manage to see Xmas day.

Currently having an Irish coffee while everyone else still sleeps.
Have tidied the kitchen and done a fridge inventory and we're good for another few days at least.
Thought about going out and doing something today but I suspect I won't. Browsed treadmills on Amazon!
This is my favourite time of year, the slow non guilt days between Christmas and New Year.
Buy the dressing gown OP, these are the no guilt days so would be a shame to waste them.

Sort of, in that we have a lot of food and boxed wine to finish off and eating trifle for breakfast! Going to wander into town today and browse the sales but don't really want to spend anything, just need to get out of the house.

Quiet Christmas, just the two of us. DH has to go into the nearest town for an appointment later. I'll hitch a lift and see if Boots are selling off their gifts sets.

CarrierbagsAndPJs · 27/12/2025 10:50

We are off shopping with the kids christmas money.

WhatNoRaisins · 27/12/2025 10:51

Eating leftovers and doing some Christmas baking. I like to save the baking with kids stuff for this time as it's too much trying to combine it with preparing Christmas dinner.

DappledThings · 27/12/2025 10:52

Absolutely, it's only the third of 12 days. Currently cuddling chicken pox ridden child on sofa while DH tidies. Might do a jigsaw later. Decorations going nowhere for another 9 days.

SoUncertain · 27/12/2025 10:52

We went swimming and now DD is playing with Christmas presents. I'm trying to get the house vaguely livable again 😅 Will definitely have a chill most of the day and enjoy presents and family though, so mainly Christmas mode. I have work on Mon and Tues but very few people about so that will be quite laid back too 🎅

ChristmasLightsLover · 27/12/2025 10:52

I’m decluttering. DH is apprehensive.

tinyspiny · 27/12/2025 10:53

Absolutely still in Christmas mode here but I am going out shopping with my sister in a minute .

Thunderdcc · 27/12/2025 10:54

We hosted Christmas day and Boxing day, today is a day off, then we have 9 people here again tomorrow. So today we need to finish washing up 😅

We are going to go for a walk. We haven't left the house for two days and the kids are that weird mix of tired but can't actually get to sleep at night.

Pineapplewaves · 27/12/2025 10:55

Oldest DS and I have decided that Christmas is now over and now it’s just a wait until Wednesday to see in the new year. I don’t feel Christmassy anymore. Youngest DC has requested another buffet/picky lunch so I’ll see what I can put together with the leftovers. I have enough turkey left for one more round of Turkey sandwiches. Think it will be another afternoon in front of the TV watching movies. I’m enjoying having a rest after all the running about from last week.

Blarn · 27/12/2025 10:57

I have shingles and have jusy finished asecond course of antibiotics for a uti so now food is actually staying in my stomach I plan on sitting down in front of something Christmasy on TV and eating a lot of blue cheese.

lincoln75 · 27/12/2025 11:23

I'm off to the pub!

rainsbows · 27/12/2025 11:25

Today is Xmas no 2 with my parents and Monday is Xmas no 3 with dh’s parents. Decs are staying up for another week.

BuffaloCauliflower · 27/12/2025 11:28

Still in Christmas mode here, will be until the 2nd. But chill out reset pyjama day today, kids playing with their new bits and watching TV, me reading a book, DH wants to tidy (it does look like a bomb’s gone off in a toy department in here) and I’ll happily let him but won’t be helping 😂 picky bits and cheese will come back out later

youalright · 27/12/2025 11:30

First day off from family festivities but still definitely christmassy still lots of food and just a relaxing day of Christmas telly

GrannyClanger · 27/12/2025 11:32

Have driven 200 miles this morning to stay with my parents, so we’re having second Christmas today. Still very much in Christmas mode, especially as my dad was working Christmas Day and my parents haven’t had their Christmas dinner yet!

Clockyclockz · 27/12/2025 11:33

Most definitely!

Had a lie in, just ate pastries for breakfast. Off to the park with the dc now & then home for turkey sandwiches. Panto with wider family group tonight.

Topsy44 · 27/12/2025 11:35

Teen DD is in her room, cat is snoozing in a sunny patch under the Xmas tree and I have put Paddington on to half watch while I am scrolling.

I had my 88 year old DMum over Xmas and while I do love her dearly, crikey she was hard work and so this is the first day I feel truly relaxed’

LadyGaGasPokerFace · 27/12/2025 11:37

We’re off out to go watch Wicked in the cinema and then go for dinner as it’s a train journey. Might squeeze some shopping in too.

HansHolbein · 27/12/2025 11:38

We hosted Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We were at MIL’s yesterday. I am still in bed!

Will go downstairs soon and have a cup of tea. Will put our bed linen in the wash. Then do another load of washing. Iron some stuff. Sort out some presents. More tea. I might fast today - I am sick of food.

pizzaHeart · 27/12/2025 11:47

Im sort of half way - started day a bit earlier today - 8.30 am. DD and DH joined me at 9.30. We are out at the moment for a short walk which count as Christmassy.
We still do Christmassy type of activities, eat Christmassy food and watch more tv than usual but I want to move start of the day. add more being outside and no alcohol.
added : and I did my first ironing and washing today since 24th 🙂

Zippedydodah · 27/12/2025 11:48

Hello everyone, we had a very quiet Christmas and this weekend will be the same.
Lots of dog walks, nice food, log fires and doing whatever we want.

shellyleppard · 27/12/2025 11:48

In that post limbo Christmas phase....no idea what day it is!!! Currently trying to freeze the leftovers and panicking at how much food is still about!?
