How do you spend your Christmas Eve?
 

.

Last minute preparation

Hopefully we will all be sat watching the snow falling, with a little drink (Diet Coke) for me, my daughter will be home for actual Xmas day this year, first time in years.
Probably sat upstairs last minute wrapping of presents and stockings.:joker:

the same as i do every year, down the pub

back teeth floating, counting down the hours to my 12 midday half pint of sherry

Usually clean all day, have a nice bath, put on new PJs and have a bloody drink!

BUT this year I'm working all day until half 9 so probably bath, PJs and collapse exhausted.

At midnight mass because I’m a good Christian girlie

Usually just preparing for Christmas day, this year will probably spend it at one of the Christmas markets to get into the Christmas spirit

I eat a Mac don olds

Usually watch some Christmas TV in the afternoon (The Snowman or something), have a non-Turkey roast, then watch either Elf/Home Alone 2 (depending on which we've already watched a previous weekend), before heading to the pub for a couple of hours where it's literally like a high school reunion, everywhere you turn it's someone you haven't seen since last Christmas/in years :joker:

This reminded me I'll probably watch Home Alone 2 as well :love:

The usual Christmas stuff with the family.

Deliver Christmas presents which takes me like 3 hours
eat food and watch movies afterwards (i watched horror films last year)

Much prefer Christmas Eve to the actual day tbh.

The build-up is the best part about the holiday.

I love Christmas Eve too...all the prep done and just sit back and enjoy with a takeaway and a Christmas drink..or two..or three..:laugh:

Last minute wrapping.

Probably going to be working

Aww, Marc's spending Christmas Eve with Indian Kim Woodburn. :love:

What does this mean?

I assume she'll be back in whilst you're on duty. :hee:

Who?

DON'T YOU MAKE ME OUT TO BE A FOOL!!! :fist:

Too late for that. :)

New PJ's, a Christmas movie, maybe a glass of wine, fire, family etc

All my friends and family insist on going out for a meal and celebrating my birthday every year on Christmas eve which is nice but its a pain trying to find somewhere everyone wants to go, its like a 15 year tradition now. I hate the thought of eating anything similar to a Christmas dinner a day before the real thing. We usually all come back after, stick some movies on, drink whatever alcohol we have, play games etc.

You should make them all go wherever you want, if they don't like it they can stay at home :idc:

I agree with Stacey, Drew, it's your birthday make them go where you want to go :fist:

When the kids were young we always took them to the cinema and then for a meal and to visit the living nativity (in a farm near us), now they are older and we don't have to work around santa, I will do a few bits in the kitchen if we are at home, put some Christmas music on, watch a movie,sometime I go to midnight mass, depends, we are not always at home and spent one Christmas Eve in New York :love: and have spent it in Ireland with my Mum or at a hotel, it varies we don't have a set routine now.

Thats what my friend says to me every year but i'm so indecisive and hate being the one who has the final say on something :laugh:

I'll choose for you, somewhere vegetarian :pipe:

If it's somewhere that does Pizza i'm down with this idea..

Pizza Hut do pizza

if you like pizza choose an Italian, no one can argue about going to an Italian surely

Yeah, they'll have something that everyone would eat

They don’t exist in my little old town

There’s a nice Italian restaurant nearby, I’m obsessed with it and it’s always my first choice, I’d go every year if I could but they’re a tough crowd to please.

im starving for pizza now tbh

:fist: :fist: no one cares about your hunger problems

:worry:

i just don't care about food for myself either :joker: :joker:

Probably watch a few TV programmes and a film or two.

Chill and relax into the evening, then Christmas carols on the telly. :)

No booze. I don't drink. :)
