Curious to know what everyone's up to!
I'm off to the local pub with one of my friends as her DH is looking after the kids, so she's got a night off and we can finally catch up!

We were going out to see some Christmas lights at a local attraction but it’s really not nice out there tonight plus I’m feeling quite tired so we’re having a cosy night in. I still have a couple of presents to wrap. Chicken Tagine with couscous for tea. Probably watch a festive film. I’m working tomorrow afternoon so DH & I might do all the veg prep in the morning & I have the last of my cards to deliver. Tomorrow night is possibly KFC for tea (we traditionally have Maccies but I’ve gone off it a bit) & DH & I will watch Love Actually as we do every Christmas Eve.

We're going to watch the Christmas carol service on the town square this evening

Tomorrow were spending the day with my dad

It's our first Christmas without mum 😔

DollopOfFun · 23/12/2024 17:30

Buffet, cheeseboard and games tonight with the adult kids (plus sons GF).

Tomorrow day time will be final present drop offs/swaps with family and friends, then a steady afternoon and evening of Xmas dinner prep, films and telly.

Youngest is 17 now, and I'm not hosting loads of people this time so it all feels very chilled this year 🍸

mitogoshigg · 23/12/2024 17:40

Dinner and tv. Today and tomorrow are work days

Moier · 23/12/2024 17:48

DH has gone to the pub for a while (he's been on pills you can't drink with until yesterday), and I'm making Chinese barbecue ribs, which smell great. We'll have those later (only the 2 of us here). Tomorrow I'll finally get around to wrapping his presents, and then in the evening we're planning a paté and cheese board, to be followed by caramel popcorn as we watch Die Hard with a few drinks.

Why?! Why on earth are you curious to know what random strangers up & down the UK, are up to?!?! How bizarre

MrsTulip · 23/12/2024 17:57

Tonight -finish DS wrapping (only 4 things) and clean the kitchen after evening meal. Tomorrow is mega busy as I'm an ordinand.

unlimiteddilutingjuice · 23/12/2024 18:00

Tonight: Finish my cup of tea. Put away the food shop. Make tea for the kids. Then Xmas films and hot choc.

Tomorrow: Nice little lie in. Take the kids to the Irn Bru carnival (It's a big mad indoor fairground), come home, crack open the Christmas buffet snacks. More films.

Not bizarre at all. Don't comment if you don't like the post

CandyCane457 · 23/12/2024 18:06

My boyfriend and I arrived at my parents last night. He WFH today so mum and I went out for a festive hot choc, and tonight boyfriend and I are going round to a friends house to have pizza and a catch up with them. Tomorrow, boyfriend and I are going to make a gingerbread house and watch a Christmas horror film with my mum and dad 🥰

Tarkan · 23/12/2024 18:10

Just about to head to the supermarket so I can prep some things tonight. I'm not cooking dinner on Christmas Day but just making some favourites to have as snacks.

So I'll be making Arbroath Smokie pate, meringue for a pavlova and a celeriac and apple remoulade.

Tomorrow we'll be going to see my parents and celebrating my cousin's birthday.

GoGoNow · 23/12/2024 18:10

Time with family
Tidying up!
A good walk
A glass of wine 😁

Minihero · 23/12/2024 18:11

I'm cooking an actual meal for the first time in over a week as I've been ill. Feel so much better today.
Tomorrow we are going to the west end to see a show, have lunch then have a look at the Christmas lights. Home for a board game then Xmas Eve traditions with DC.

Minihero · 23/12/2024 18:12

@Moier I've heard that's a really good read.

@VegTrug are you ok?

StressedQueen · 23/12/2024 18:17

We've all just had dinner and we are set on making a hot chocolate competition and then having a massive bowl of ice cream each to set off today.

Tomorrow, we are literally just bingeing Christmas movies with junk food the entire day and playing a bunch of board games as well as baking Christmas snowmen cookies.

MyBigFatGreekSalad · 23/12/2024 18:36

@VegTrug why are you on an online forum filled with strangers who you don't know?... how very odd 😜

ProudCoralBear · 23/12/2024 19:11

Relaxing with party food and Christmas films tonight, everyone is tired after a night out last night. Tomorrow baking cookies for Santa and then off to the panto. I love reading what everyone else is doing.

FiveWhatByFiveWhat · 23/12/2024 19:18

Tonight it's pizzas with telly and we're just reading and playing with ds. We might watch father ted Christmas after he's gone to sleep. With some quality street!

Tomorrow it's a takeaway tea and a walk around to look at lights, prep some sides, collect/drop off gifts, lat everything out ready for the big morning.

I'm so sorry Flowers

Hudders3 · 23/12/2024 19:23

Finished the food shop before 8am, nails done before 10, hair done before 2, dogs were walked and dinner was had and just polished off an espresso martini followed by a Baileys in front of home alone!
Tomorrow a little lay in, lay the table for Christmas Eve dinner and prep a few bits for Christmas Day food.
Merry Christmas all

Skethylita · 23/12/2024 19:25

We made mince pies, played a few rounds of a new (classic) board game, then ended up video gaming. I also deep cleaned the bathrooms and did a general clean of the house. Some washing is still drying outside, that will be ready by tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning we'll be up early and out to do an activity which will be very quiet at this time of year, eldest is then off to work after lunch, so more board games, maybe hot chocolate and a film. At some point during that day I'll prep the red cabbage, which needs to be done a day in advance, and bake the fruit cake, for which the plums have been soaking in brandy for 2 days.

oobedobe · 23/12/2024 19:27

having a quiet night here after being out for DH birthday both sat and sun evenings.

Our plans for the next day or two, baking; choc log, trifle prep, sugar cookies.

Making gingerbread houses (actually M&Ms choc houses!).

Kids and DH have some wrapping to do. I might need one more dash to the shops tomorrow morning, then some house cleaning.

thegirlwithapearl · 23/12/2024 19:33

Tonight- currently putting washing away and listening to a lovely Christmas sermon on Spotify.
Going to have a mince pie and some sausage rolls for tea and watch Love Actually.
Tomorrow we're going to my mum's for dinner, then crib service at 6, then we drive around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights. Home to watch the Santa tracker on Sky, DC to bed, get the presents under the tree and go to bed!

UpUpUpU · 23/12/2024 19:36

I am in bed as finished nights this morning and haven’t slept today.

Tomorrow we have the horses to do and I’m cooking a Christmas dinner. We are at family Christmas Day and won’t be having a roast.
