Christmas and new year!

Our rituals at christmas, on christmas eve my daughter and I open one christmas pressie each then on christmas morning we laze about over breakfast and open our presents, have a nice slow day have the christmas dinner around 3pm, we always say after dinner, I will not eat another bite until tomorrow, 7pm we eat more last new year's eve we had no luck going out, year before daughter was sick. This year we have plans just hoping they come together. Is it too early to ask what you all are planning for this year.

Re: Christmas and new year!

We open our presents when we all get up on Christmas day
the kids all in their teens but like big kids the youngest is
14,I still manage to get lots of stocking fillers for them.

We have brunch around 11am, then settle in front of the Telly, Christmas dinner is at around 6 ish.

New year we gather as a family for a party, each of us take it in turn to host the party, this year its my brothers turn

Re: Christmas and new year!

I don't have any ritual now .

For one reason or another I have spent most of my Christmas Days in the homes of other people, now it is a joy just to remain in my own home preferably alone

I must say I do prefer to be at home, I always have, even when the kids were little, having to drag all the toys etc to in laws or friends because they didn't want to leave things behind

Re: Christmas and new year!

Living alone and with no family,SO, Christmas is very quiet. Sleep in, have breakfast, open my few presents and that's it. Other than a mostly traditional dinner (roast chicken instead of a turkey), that's it.
