Christmas Eve-eve. What’s left to do?

[folkmore]

For me
pick up a click and collect parcel from Asda.
make up Christmas Eve PJ and treats bags
wrap 2/3 presents
christmas dinner

Nothing
Sitting with a baileys watching a nightmare before Christmas

Currently rushing to Argos to collect a present I forgot. Hoovering the sofa. Mentally stock checking the fridge.

Wrapping
Tidying up
Santa biscuits
Emergency potato run!

Nothing except to have a leisurely bath soon. I’ll sleep in tomorrow morning and then we’re off out to meet friends for a late lunch.

Probably in better shape than most years, but for me tonight:

• Wrap last third of presents
• input Sainsbury’s order for delivery tomorrow (all household items/non perishable so nothing critical
• make sausage rolls

Tomorrow:

• Collect Turkey
• deal with said delivery
• peel veggies and leave in shed on Xmas eve in giant pans of water
• make Yorkshires
• make stuffing

• Wrap DH's presents
• Wrap stocking gifts
• Actually remember to write people's sodding cards this year instead of carefully selecting them and then leaving them in a bag in a cupboard under the stairs 🙄

Pick up some ice and a baguette tomorrow

Dig out the stockings

some food prep

Remember to get everything out of the freezer

Wrap a couple of presents

clean the silver

lots of food prep tomorrow

Christmas eve eve is one of my favourite days!

Me and my brother went to Asda at 5am and it was very chilled. Grabbed a McDonald's breakfast after. So we both got our "big shops" sorted nice and early. DH was working today so ds (5) helped tidy up and hoover in between playing. I took him to the library and cafe too.

Tomorrow we're baking a chocolate cake and I'll prep a couple of sides for the big day. DH will drop off and collect presents. We'll get a few last minute bits from the local shop. Have a Chinese and lay out the gifts once D's is asleep.

But it's mostly just Christmas telly, nice food, trips to the park.

Bliss!

Eat another cheese board.
Vow to stop.
Eat another tomorrow and then continue to do so until NYD.

Thanks for the reminder about cards!!

Xmas baking for me- finishing the Xmas cake (which is chocolate sponge), baking some chocolate chip cookies and making some biscoff fudge. Dd is helping (eating)

Lol, yes, I need to get on the cheeseboard!

I've got some of the kids' gifts to wrap.

Also, I need to buy a brocoli as the 15p one I got from Tesco 3 days ago is now mouldy.

Plus a good house clean before the in laws arrive on the 25th.

Make biscuits
Wrap stocking gifts (just in tissue paper)
Pack

I'm going to do The Big Food Shop in an hour or so, after I've eaten. I was at work up until Friday, away all weekend and my parents are both injured/ill 😣 so I've spent today helping them. I am therefore a bit behind and trying not to panic!

Collect two parcels- dd’s main presents from the post office

Fill stockings.
Buy washing up liquid- we’ve run out!

Wrap DS last minute twitch present which arrived today

Eat cheese
Drink wine
Repeat!

Bit of wrapping (I actually don't mind wrapping)

Quick whizz round with the hoover - already hoovered thoroughly so just a last minute go round.

That's about it really.

My parents are popping in to drop presents off mid afternoon but not loads to do for that as we are seeing them properly boxing day.

So mostly, chilling out, play with ds and watch something festive.

Get the “nice” crockery and serving dishes out, and make sure the glasses and cutlery are all polished and nice.

tidy up

dash to supermarket for some bits and pieces

I’m all done! Early night tonight I’m knackered! Tomorrow I need to pick up
some milk and will check the veg - I’m worried about the 8p veg and seeing a pp has a mouldy broccoli I’ll be checking everything even more carefully!

merry Christmas everyone!!

Present wrapping only -I always do it Xmas Eve

For the first time ever… Nothing. I got it all done early this year.

Wrap a few more presents,
make stuffing, last bit of laundry and a final half day of work tomorrow then done!

Just me, DH and the DC for Christmas Eve and Day and I am so looking forward to it😊

Change all the bedding tomorrow, tidy the kids bedrooms & run the vacuum cleaner round the whole house & just a bit of a general tidy / wipe down. Before trying to tire the children out for bedtime.

I have one present to wrap, Yule log to fill and my nails to do this evening and then I'm all done and ready
