6 hours of Christmas me time-what would you do/watch/eat?

I have tomorrow off. I want a chilled day at home and to make it a proper Christmassy, indulgent day. I will drop Dd and be home for 9 and out to get her at 3. I never have this and after tomorrow will be hectic again and no time alone until January

My plan is back home, straight into pjs, on the sofa, duvet on…christmas films and Christmas treats pig out.

What would you do/watch/eat?

I’d watch The Holiday and Love Actually and eat a box of Christmas chocolates

With only six hours that sounds absolutely perfect to me. Definitely do not do what I would in all likelihood end up doing and that's three tip runs and a ton of house stuff.

If you drink coffee I'd pick up a nice coffee on the way home.

Films: the holiday / love actually / family stone

TV shows: motherland

Food: sweet treat with coffee, deliveroo some of your fave restaurant food or takeaway food

3pm will come tooooo quickly!!!!

I have Monday 22nd booked off work whilst the two kids go to nursery and I plan to go exactly this!!
pjs on, warm fluffy blanket on the sofa, I’ll be watching my favourite Christmas movie (Santa Claus - a 1980s film) with Brie and crackers, some chocolate truffles and maybe even a Buck’s Fizz as I don’t need to pick the girls up 🤩
Then I will go and enjoy a hot bubble bath and maybe put on the holiday.

I can’t wait!! Enjoy your day

This may well be how I'll spend tomorrow (although ill as opposed to booked time off just for myself and mine finish at 2pm!)

I would watch Holidate and eat cinnamon knots washed down with jugs of tea.

following for ideas ! I quit my job and yesterday was last day. Today I got hair and nails done and I have tomorrow and Friday with dc at school so I’m planning to do some Christmassy things too as then it’s 2 weeks with SEN dc and it’s exhausting so planning to recharge before the chaos .

I'd add Last Christmas to the films above

I like some of Lidl's Christmas special foods, also warmed minced pies, & brandy cream
