We've Smile

Whisky2014 · 07/12/2017 21:58

Staying in jammies, eating leftovers and watching classy films Hopefully. I'm hosting 14 for Xmas day so will need a rest!

Bearwithverylittlebrain · 07/12/2017 22:00

I'm working a 12 hour shift ☹️

LostSight · 07/12/2017 22:01

Ridiculous sandwiches filled with everything leftover from Christmas dinner. MIL was horrified when she witnessed this appalling travesty, so I know it’s the right thing to do.

MuddlingThroughLife · 07/12/2017 22:01

Ok and chill day. Cold turkey and chips for dinner. Chocolate. Crap tv. Looking at new stuff. Bliss.

Fluffyears · 07/12/2017 22:02

Trying to prise MIL out of our house so we can have some time together before OH goes back to work on 27th. It’s my first Christmas week off in 15 years Xmas Grin

jelliebelly · 07/12/2017 22:04

Eating buffet style leftovers and turkey sandwiches. Staying in pyjamas watching movies, play board games and kids toys. Walk to park at some point. I love Boxing Day

speakout · 07/12/2017 22:04

Tidy the house then relax.

PumpkinPie2016 · 07/12/2017 22:07

Unsure at the moment! I am still waiting to see if my dad is working on boxing day - if not then hopefully he and my mum and sister will be able to come round.

If he is then might still ask my mum in the afternoon as I won't see her Christmas eve or day because she is working - I'll see my dad Christmas eve.

If all else fails - a chilled out day with DH and DS - maybe a nice walk and playing with DS New toys with him.

Cleanermaidcook · 07/12/2017 22:07

Bit of a lie in. We go to a friend's house party on Christmas day in the evening so its a late night. Nice lie in and the kids get to play with their presents. Chilled day.

Katz · 07/12/2017 22:07

It’s my 40th birthday so more presents and cake and then packing for a celebratory trip to Boston

Justabadwife · 07/12/2017 22:08

In the morning dd can play with her toys, then we will have lunch out somewhere and then go to DH grans (an hour's drive away) for a few hours to see his aunty uncles, cousins etc.
Then we will come home, eat rubbish, play games and drink. 😁😁

Crumbs1 · 07/12/2017 22:08

Walk the dog.
Prepare house
Cook canapes.
People come about 6pm for Boxing Day drinks.

PeppaPigBaconButty · 07/12/2017 22:11

This year is my DN first xmas. She lives in the same house as me 50% the week with her daddy (DB). Her mum will have her xmas eve and xmas morning and us xmas afternoon and Boxing Day. So we're gonna hold off her opening presents till boxing morning and that day will be all about her ☺️

PinkHeart5914 · 07/12/2017 22:11

We’ve made no plans, as I am due baby 3 on the 28th and my last 2 were born early so made no plans just in case

QueenofLouisiana · 07/12/2017 22:13

Sit on a beach. Watch DS body board. Read a book.

We can’t wait.

BonnieF · 07/12/2017 22:15

Racing at Kempton park during the day, the home for a leftovers buffet. DP will be glued to the TV later as the Ashes test match will be on.

Sallystyle · 07/12/2017 22:16

I am working Xmas eve night shift so will sleep quite a bit of Xmas day.

Boxing day I have my family here. We will have leftovers, jacket potatoes, salad, cheese board, breads etc. I can't wait for Boxing Day, Xmas day I will just be a tired mess and I can't imagine I will get much sleep Xmas eve before I go in.

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 07/12/2017 22:16

Walk in the peaks with DC and our friends.
Rest of the day playing board games, playing games and eating left overs.

NetballHoop · 07/12/2017 22:17

Long dog walk with all the DCs then home for snacky bits for lunch.
Thre we'll play the Christmas board game (we get given a new one each year by Santa)

In the evening we'll watch a Christmas film.

ShizzleYoDrizzle · 07/12/2017 22:18

Leftovers, wine, and some lady like burping whilst nodding off in front of the Sound of Music.

LadyLoveYourWhat · 07/12/2017 22:19

We live in Devon, so if it's sunny we go for a wander on the beach (there are quite a few Boxing Day morning swims at various places, but I'm definitely not up for that). If it's not nice enough for the beach I'll try and get a run in. And just chilling, nibbling, drinking, watching Christmas telly.

LyannaStarktheWolfMaid · 07/12/2017 22:20

Pub. Friends back to ours for cheese and wine. Usually ends up a messy affair!
