We used to go out and enjoy a few drinks but this year we'll be staying in with some munchies and probably watching a christmas film or two

i havent been out on xmas eve since i had my eldest 13 years ago.

i used to take her to our local church in liverpool for the childrens christmas service in the afternoon and they used to tell the kids the story of christmas, it was lovely. im not religious tbh but i think kids should know the true meaning of it.

anyway since i moved to coventry we just stay at home makes some cakes or something with the kids, get the veg ready for the xmas dinner and do some last minute wrapping, and then i sit down get the baileys and ice out and very a bit tipsy lol

We cook a joint of ham in the morning and have that cold with crusty bread and nibbles, then we go and see family!! Me and my dad always used to sit and watch A Christmas Carol together on christmas eve (the really old one in black and white) it was ace! We still try to now but sometimes it doesn't happen with work ect!!

We will go to mums house this year for a chinese with my auntie and uncle and have a few drinkies

Also get some of the pre-xmas day cooking/prep done and make some cookies or mince pies. I'll be working on Christmas Eve though.

Sometimes we go out for a drink but mostly just chill at home with films and nibbles! I always want to open a present at midnight but hubby never lets me!
