How do you spend Christmas Eve??

[Early Kids]

We just relax, the kids stay up late and everyone just chills out.

[Ngala]

We celebrate Christmas Eve with my family at my parents house as mum kept the Christmas Eve tradition up when coming over from Poland. I love it cause it means that on Christmas Day we can go to DH's family or see friends and not need to rush from one place to another!!

[*Ash*]

We usually spend it wrapping presents, but this year we are going to celebrate a 'European' themed Christmas Eve with our Danish friend, and her friends and family....
Then we will come home and wrap presents

[Mum2Romone]

Don't traditionally have anything for our family yet but this year i intend to make biscuits for Santa with DS and set up a table for Santa , reindeers etc. We will do carols if in can find some and I'll be putting out pressure after DS is in bed....

And go for either a walk or a drive to see Christmas lights !!!,

We are going to Country Carols at Cruden Farm...our boys first Christmas so it has to be super special..then we will prolly watch the end of the TV Carols whilst setting up his playground and putting his trike together...sooooo excited!!

Working from 5am to 1pm this year. Ah well, I guess it was Shel working last year! Normally the day is as per normal, nothing exciting happens. We do a big toy clean up in preperation of the spoiling (I mean Christmas Day... ), and pile up toys we'd like to get rid of that are too young for Jazz or whatever other reason, them take them to MIL on Christmas Day (she volunteers in a Red Cross Shop). That's about it.

When we were kids our tree never went up to Christmas Eve. It was a nice tradition but now I do decorating a tree early December and keeping it up a bit longer now I can make that choice hehe

[Enchanted]

We have dinner, then watch some Xmas Carols then head off to look at Xmas lights!! We love it!!

Ps. Nice to see you back here Ngala!

Now there's a good idea! I have all the Dr Who Christmas Specials on dvd, I might have to watch them for the zillionth time.

With the exception of last year, we always go to a late night mass, this year it will be a family service on Xmas eve. Christmas day I usually cook a roast this year MIL is doing that so this year Xmas morning we do our family chrissy then head behind to MIL's to have lunch. I am looking forward to not having to do all the preparations this year ...slack aren't I

[Astrolady]

I have the carols on the background while I am preparing the table ready for lunch the next day and doing any final touches to cleaning etc. I have my presents well wrapped before Christmas, as I don't trust my kids to NOT to get up at least once after they've gone to bed that night LOL.
