Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we will go out for dinner and when we come back Santa will have been here, my husband has to work Christmas Day so we will have Santa come on Christmas Eve so he can see the kids faces when they see there presents we will then open the family presents and then let the kids play with their new toys for awhile then go to bed and off to my moms on Christmas day.

our plans? well lots i guess but time is the essence we want to drive downtown together with the children just to see the sceneries full of lights and decorations..but if it will rain then we have to stay home..while at home we do some fun, activities like as family we play card games or do some karaoke we love to sing while waiting for the 12:00 oclock dinner and open our gifts..luckily all my children are still living with us and my mom too..

WSell Grandpa Bob I will be leaving here at 11am to head up the North to stay with my Kids for a few Days and I will return on the 1st of January back home The Kids are moving to different Places next year so it will be the last Time that I will enter the House that has been ours for 12 years My Daughter is moving to a Flat with a Friend and my Son and his Fiancee are moving to another House so I can say it will be a bit of a sad time knowing I will never enter the House again after this time

for christmas eve i shall be spending it with my gorgeous fiance. we shall be exchanging presents, baking and making the most of being together. we dont get to see each other on christmas day :( but we will be making the most of christmas eve. i miss him so much over christmas day...i think its partly because your supposed to be with the ones you love, plus its becuase its a long day. we normally get up at about 7-8 am, sometimes earlier. then its a late night as we go to my uncle howards for a family get together

Hi Grandpa Bob! We are leaving this Sunday to go out of town to our friends for Christmas. We won't be back until Dec 26th or 27th depending on the weather. That means I will be there for a few days before Christmas and not just Christmas Eve. Will be nice! Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear

Christmas eve we are visiting my boyfriends mom who is in the manor,maybe having a small supper at the sister-in-laws house(i think,no inventation so far though),other than that we will spend the evening together looking at "MY" new electric fireplace that my boyfriends picking up tomorrow!YIIPPPPEEE!!!I asked for this for 2 years and i finally got my christmas,birthday,mother-days and valentines day gift!Hahahaha!I get it for christmas,now i have the other holidays left,hehe!We let our daughter open up one gift christmas night,its been like this since i was tiny,get up early the next morning and open up all the rest. Peanutjar:)

Christmas Eve we'll probably let the kids open one small gift and chances are we'll just hang out and watch tv like usual..We don't go visiting and there's nobody local thats around really so its just another day/evening more than anything...After the kids are up in bed my husband and I will put all the gifts under the tree and load the stockings...Then he'll go to bed and I'll stay up and watch movies probably..

Christmas Eve is a big day here at my home. I cook the ham for Christmas dinner this night. I also make the pumpkin pies. I make the deviled eggs also. Christmas eve is a day of family cooking and great snaking. We eat fruit plates and veggie plates all day. Later is the evening I put out a cheese platter with meats as well. We settle down with the movies called Santa Claus with Tim Allen in them. There will be three movies this year to watch. Lots of cooking lots of sampling and lots of just plain family fun. My mom and dad will come to dinner and join my husband and daught and myself this year. My cousin has an open invitation but she normally comes over later in the evening. The reason I cook so much on Christmas eve is so that we can spend more time together on Christmas day as a family and not in seperate rooms in the house. I love Christmas because it is a time for the family to be one. Happy hollidays to all and to all a good night.

We always go to my mom's house on Christmas Eve. We have sandwiches and snacks and cookies and candy...well you get the picture. We eat alot of stuff. LOL It is the day we all celebrate with each other. We spend Christmas Day having a quiet day with our own families. (hugs)

We will be going to my parents house for Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve has always been a tradition in my family. We open our presents at night and then go to my Aunt's house to meet the rest of the family. We have a really neat supper with all the traditional foods my family loves for that night. There's cold shrimp for shrimp cocktail, raw beef sandwiches, a really awesome spread that my grandmother but now I make called shinkinsmear, salads, cheeses and sausages etc. Then at 10 p.m. we all go to Christmas services at our church. Afterwards the younger kids lay down and all of us play games like pictionary and Mad Gab. It's my favorite night of the whole year. In fact I have never in my 38 years opened gifts on Christmas morning.

We will be staying home for Christmas. I'm tired of traveling everywhere so if anyone wants to see us, they can come to our house for once.

Whatever happens AGB I hope you have a wonderful time! For the first time in more than 10 years since my partner and I have been together we are having a lovely quiet Christmas Day with just us and the kids for dinner! Normally we have to travel to his mothers and have dinner with her even though her daughter lives 5 minutes away it is the first time we have been able to persuade her to spend time with her Mum on christmas day and I always refused to leave her alone on Christmas Day - that just wasn't right! This year I am just not fit to travel and we are going to have a lovely lazy Christmas Day where the kids can play with their presents and my best friend will come up with her partner for a while and exchange presents then instead of before - fantastic! xxx

Christmas eve I spend watching movies....Christmas morning my son and his family come and we go to church...then come and open presents while lunch is finishing up in the oven. Then they leave early afternoon and I have the rest of the day to talk on the phone to my daughters who will be spending their christmas together in Arizona.

I have a large family gathering, but sometimes I feel like I'd rather go carolling. This is an extended family, so I'm not very close to them. And making small talk throughout the night can be quite tiring. but i guess it's also an obligation, so we'll see how it goes...

On Christmas Eve we will be going to my mom's house around lunchtime and eating with the family. Then around 6 pm we will go to my husband's grandmother's house to eat with his family. Then we'll probably come home and open gifts that we have bought for each other. Then on Christmas Day we will go to my grandmother's house for breakfast, then go to my father in law's house, and then on to my mother in law's house. So we will be busy those two days.

I will have to work Christmas Eve. When I get off we will exchange gifts at the sitters then go home. AT home my daughter and I will each open a gift and have hot chocolate while we watch "The Christmas Story' and laugh at little Ralphie's antics. Then off to bed so Santa can come. 'He' still leaves gifts even though we are older.

We dont do much on Christmas Eve for most Christmasses. This Christmas was worse, as my husband was depressed about what happened with his son two nights before, when he attempted to assualt me. The plan for Christmas was called off, that is, my family were told not to come by my hubby. He considered banning his son from coming, but we ended up having him anyway, after receiving a rude text message from him. We we due to pick them up at 3.00pm, then have christmas tea around 7.30pm. I will tell you later how it went. Did your son end up coming?

I will be baking a pie. I'm planning to spend most of the day relaxing. This year I am taking it easy and trying to stay stress free.

This holiday season it will just be my husband,step-daughter and myself. We can not afford to go home to Michigan this year. I think on Christmas eve we will go to Church and then look at the lights around town, Christmas day we will open gifts eat dinner and then maybe go swimming at the resort I work at.

Christmas Eve ,I with my friend go together dance and song . then,we are together paying
