Alcohol

HopeAndChristmasStories · 23/12/2014 14:40

Having Christmas in our own home, just the two of us, for the first time :)

mrsfarquhar · 23/12/2014 14:49

Much as i love the run up to Christmas, and am full of Christmas joy and all that, I am looking forward to it being over! No more presents to buy, just things to play with, no more suddenly remembering someone who hasn't got a card (loads and loads of those) and knowing there's bugger all chance of me finding time to fix that now. No more constant bloody tidying in an attempt to have a house worthy of Christmas. No more shopping for food everyday because we've been too busy to think about normal mealtimes until 5 minutes before they are due. I can stop fretting about the last 2 gifts which haven't arrived as it will be TOO LATE, i will have said my apologies and that's that.

I love Christmas but am glad when its done for another year and i can start looking forward to it again.

mrsfarquhar · 23/12/2014 14:49

sorry that was a bit long, feeling very frazzled today!

EdithWeston · 23/12/2014 14:53

When even the teens, in pyjamas, snuggle up with me on the sofa to watch Doctor Who.

chanie44 · 23/12/2014 14:55

I'm most looking forward to ds reaction to the presents - he's 4 and this is the first year he really understands.

WUME · 23/12/2014 14:55

Seeing dc open their presents.

Esp if I can get hold of a camera for dd1 tomorrow - that will be a big surprise for her and dh who hasn't heard about this particular twitch Wink Grin

Oh and dd1 and dd2s reaction when they wake up to find Father Christmas has out new Frozen duvet covers on their bed and taken the Christmas ones away.

Can you imagine being a 4yo and waking up to a Frozen duvet Shock Shock Shock Shock - she may explode Grin Grin Grin Grin

Letthemtalk · 23/12/2014 14:57

When everyone goes home, kids are in bed and dp and I snuggle on the sofa.

That and dinner

CaisleanDraiochta · 23/12/2014 14:58

It being over! [grinch] seriously though I much prefer christmas eve/boxing day when its just me and the DC on our own. i don't enjoy prolonged periods of socialising and hate gift giving between adults. I know I'm in the minority there though so I put on an act and get on with it. I'm always relieve when its over so i can finally relax and enjoy christmas.

I do like being woken up by excited DC in the morning as they climb into my bed with full stockings, as long as its not too early! Also I quite like the dinner. Couldn't eat much last year due to illness so looking forward to that too.

annabanana19 · 23/12/2014 15:00

WUME · 23/12/2014 15:06

Shock Poor dh's aunt Sad

coffeeslave · 23/12/2014 15:06

I don't enjoy Xmas day (with family) at all. I look forward to Boxing Day with my partner, and then volunteering at Crisis in the boring bit before NYE.

MindReader · 23/12/2014 15:12

The Children opening their presents (esp if they've made it to a decent time of the morning before waking - ie after 6am)

Going to Church for the morning service (ditto the 6pm one the night before)

Carols from Kings.

Eating the meal

Watching Downtown and CTM and Dr Who if I can manage all 3

annabanana19 · 23/12/2014 15:13

WUME - do you know her?

No, you don't so you have no idea. None whatsoever.

You have a nice Christmas with people you like.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 23/12/2014 15:13

Midnight Mass (well that ends on Christmas day)

knowing that I dont have to work - it will just be us with no expectations. That will be bliss.

Snuggling down with my family watching tv and playing games in front of the fire

Reading the new Stephen King book (if dh hasnt bought it for me then kindle delivers in just moments)

MindReader · 23/12/2014 15:14

"The Children" = my kids, (sounded a bit formal there, I don't run a Children's home, honest!).

itsbetterthanabox · 23/12/2014 15:18

Presents! And yummy food. And chilling out, not working and drinking hot chocolate. I hate Boxing Day though. It's so boring and depressing after Xmas.

itsbetterthanabox · 23/12/2014 15:19

Xmas special doctor who!!!!

TheWordFactory · 23/12/2014 15:25

I like Xmas day a lot.

Though I moan about waking up to a houseful of people, it is so jolly. I know that despite my annoyance at being filmed, I am very lucky to have so many people who want to join us.

I love cooking the lunch and love eating it more. And I love a day spent laughing and talking, providing good things for my guests.

I will go to bed a happy camper.
