  • I'm working till 4pm so will be name by 5pm and it will be bath, Pjs on and tea.
    Then we'll watch a film and my brother will put out Santa's biscuit, drink and a carrot. He'll go to bed and we'll wait ages for him to go to sleep, by which point I'll most likely be asleep, and the pressies will then go under the tree.

    It's so exciting!!!

    At hospital for an appt with my gynaecologist... nice eh...
  • Working until lunchtime, home for games and tv then pj's baths more tv, before the little ones get all ready for Santa!
  • It's my first Christmas with my bf and the first I have properly moved out for (was a student all the other times so was back in plenty of time for everything!).

    At my parents it was always last minute cleaning/chores/baking/prep/wrapping/film watching.

    This year bf will be working until midday so I will get up early with him, have a leisurely breakfast then will make myself pop out with the pooch to give him a good walk and myself a stretch. I also need to curl my hair and get nibbles ready for that night! Once bf gets home the manic afternoon begins, first we are going to his grandparents for an hour or two to exchange gifts etc as they have stopped doing Christmas ( :( ) then I'm off to the Christingle service at his families church with his mum, then I have to get back to finish prepping the nibbles/mini buffet, do my make up for our night out with his parents, change into my swish new dress, shoes etc. Have a couple of glasses at home and some nibbles then out to the top pub in our little town to dance, sing and generally jolly the night away before a few hours rest before another crazily busy day for Christmas itself!
