On boxing day DP makes lamb kebab wraps with all the trimmings (pickled cabbage, chillies ect) using the left over lamb from Xmas Dinner.

DD always decorates the tree to Xmas music and her homemade decorations from nursery age upwards are always used and at the front of the tree.

Watch the Grinch with hot chocolate on Xmas eve in our (matching 😲💀) Xmas PJs.

Christmas day at home. Me DH and our DC. Walk with wider family in the morning, followed by tea and cakes at SiL's house. Then back home to cook dinner. Presents are opened after dinner.

Presents for children from Father Christmas and parents arrive by magic overnight at the foot of your bed. The sack is a spare pillow case. You may open one before 7am but the others have to wait until you can take your pillow case into mum and dad.

Presents from anyone else or for adults go under the Christmas tree and are opened after lunch.

Drink lots? Ours are all bog standard down to the boring turkey but I still have parents alive and mum definitely calls the shots
