and what will you be doing..me i will have one drink before going to midnight mass at portsmouth cathedralxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx((((:

Watching christmas tv, helping put presents out, then off to bed for about 4 hours.

put presents out,few ours sleep then off to work :(

I finish up any cleaning/washing needed during the day. Then I make sure the kids have had baths and have one myself. I always buy new pyjamas to wear. After that I relax with a good book (or tv programme/film if there's one on) a glass of wine and some chocolate. Bliss.

worry did i get ! have i got!

ade your working.what a bummerxxxxxx)))):

Will be at work until about 1pm. When I get home (hubby having done the last minute shoppping) will prepare all the veg, tidy the house, get a takeaway for dinner. Then sit down and have a drink while watching something on the tele or playing some good old fashioned board games. Then another drink or two before going to bed about 11 or 12ish and reading a book.

Since my in-laws are Spanish, they celebrate Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day. We get over there about 4ish, have a few drinks and then sit down to a sumptious meal (F-I-L is a chef) with about 3 different meats, fresh salad and prawns, loads of cheeses and tons of sweets. The tradition is to open pressies at midnight, but the children never last that long. We usually leave about 1am, drive home (usually me!!) and carry the kids up to bed. We would have already left out Santa's mince pie and carrots for the reindeer, so we 'dispose' of them, and them have a few drinks on our own and watch a late film. We usually get to bed about 3 and get woken up at 6. Hey ho!! But we love it!! Suzy

santa must be full up by the time he gets to yours then if you have to dispose of his treats suzy

This year barring any last minute hitches, we will be in Madeira. So it will be a Carol concert at 5pm, possibly midnight mass at 10pm if we do both I would hope we go and have a meal in between. Not much drinking, although will depend on who is driving. Ros

I like to snuggle up indoors and watch a christmassy movie :O) Then I am usually up until the small hours still wrapping my pressies - ever disorganised a tradition I have yet to break lol

When I lived in the UK my daughter and I would always go to the panto and then meet up with mine and hubbys parents, plus other members of the family back at our house, have food,drink and put the world to rights (well, hubby and b.i.l). maybe open 1 pressie for my little pest before she went to bed. Now living in spain, snuggle up,watch tv and get ready for every man and his dog to join us for a champagne get together on xmas day!!! Annie xx

Have a tug of war (Christmas Heave). Happy days

Finish work around 3 and then run around like a blue axxxd fly.

Make sure all pressies are wrapped ....check all is ready for next day. Grab a drink and wait for hubby to get in from work.xxx

hubby, daughter and I relax until about 7:00 p.m. then put together 'wife saver' breakfast, put it in the fridge until morning, shower, snuggle into my new warm PJ's then watch 'The Grinch' then it's 'A Christmas Carol' of course the original (black & white) with Allistar Sims. Put pressies under tree, fill stockings then off to bed. Deb

come xmas eve morning the party starts around 11am. It's my birthday and always cook a buffet and start xmas dinner, then the family and friends pile in later in the afternoon, we celebrate all night long until 12am. pop off to bed for 40 winks then the kid's wake us up. start all over again. oh! the joys of xmas.. lynnxx

Go to church with my family, the childrens service, then midnight mass. put prezzies under the tree, have a quick tipple then off to bed! x

Food preparation. Then I take the boys out to walk round the village near us to see all the Christmas lights and we end up near a river where the ducks look magical and ghostly in the dark. Get home and put them to bed and then stay up watching tv and doing their stockings. But this year, my mum is coming to spend Xmas with us so it may be very different. nell

Hang up my sock which has no toe. Len
