    I have done all the cleaning this morning, just having a break before I start cooking as we always have a huge buffet to die for on Christmas Eve.

    Been to Tesco's this morning to get the last bits. Got the OH and kids to come with me to help carry stuff home.I hate having to get a taxi back as it's only a 10 minute walk away. House work has now been done.
    Chilling at the moment.
    Then it's off to Mass at 9pm we go. Back home about 10. Marshmallows and hot chocolate for the kids, leave out Santa's milk (he's not allowed alcohol :rolleyes:) and Rudolph's carrot.
    Kids off to bed then me and OH will have some Bailey's.

    Going to Sainsbury's to see if they have any reduced fruit, finishing off my Jurassic Christmas decorations, finishing off my furry draught excluder, going to see some friends and doing the questions for my crimbo day quiz. Wild. We always used to go to the seaside. :(

    Haven't bothered with decorations this year.

    Had a big fry up for brekkie then a walk in the snow to help digest it :). Now watching xmas tv and drinking the first of many ciders. Tonight will read 'twas the night before christmas' with the kids as usual before tucking them up and settling down to a glass or two of Baileys while watching Love Actually.

    I have so far worked from 5am-2:30pm, then cleaned my bedroom and am shortly going to sit down and watch the first two Home Alone movies back to back. I will then be ready for Christmas.

    We have a visitor now and we might pop down to Lidl after for a spot of food, assuming it's not too crazy. Rest of the evening will hopefully be like any other evening.

    walked the dog a couple of times. Nipped upstairs to see the neighbours and take their presents round. now i'm on the sofa in my pj's with the dog and cat snoring away next to me and I'm watching Up in the Air with George Clooney. Probably have an early night. I have way too much food in the fridge but I'm not at all hungry.
