What can we do Christmas Eve day time activity to do with DSC 17, 15 and our DS 6!

[clottedcream]

usually have them for most of the day so we can exchange presents. Used to come to ours for the day but as they are getting older DSC get bored and seems to end in a bit of a let down.

Thought about picking them up, taking them for lunch exchanging presents etc... but again abit boring. Thought about bowling but again have done this and they are not really bothered.

Want to do something perhaps a little different out of the house - activity thye are 17 and 15 ours is 6 so a bit of a huge gap.

Any suggestions please!

Any open air icerinks nearby? Or indoor either come to that. Cinema? Laser quest?

Theatre? we went to see War Horse in the west end last xmas eve, it was fab.
Ice skating is a great.
christmas market
long walk in the countryside to a lovely pub

ice skating is an option never thought of that, looked at doing panto or cinema but will cost well over £100 for tickets without a meal!

cinema depends whats on for all age groups

Don't expect 15 and 17 year old to get excited doing anything with a parent!

ha yes I agree no point them spending the day at ours it was horrendous last year - bored kids are naughty kids!

I might do the ice skating then pizza etc afterwards

Maybe let them take a friend along? Expensive but might gee 'em up a bit!

wouldnt get them all in the car and its only one of the times we get together with them and our DS they ar "too busy".

Outdoor ice skating is my option I think

Sounds good

no outdoor rink - cant face the indoor one way too big.

Am really stuck now anymore ideas anyone?
