What do you do on Christmas Eve?

[nat965]

I'm wondering what people do on Christmas Eve. Do you stay up late and open presents bought from friends/family and sleep in on Christmas Day, or open presents on Christmas Day and go to bed as normal on Christmas Eve?

On Christmas Eve I have a meal and open my presents

[Spuds]

wear a white hood and cloak

[Deak]

I tend to go to the pub and stay there until about 9ish... come home watch a christmassy film with some snacks & other goodies.

I then go to bed around the same time as i normally would and then wake up about 8am and then i have to wake my mum up and I'm not allowed in the room until we have a cuppa tea... then i get to open my prezzies which santy claus left me :D

Ever since I was little I went to Christingle with my mum, my auntie, my nana and my cousins. We didn't go last year though and tbh I don't think we'll end up going again this year.

This year I'll probably just go and visit some of the family.

Christmas Eve...well if we're at home we'll watch a film (more often than not "The Polar Express"...the amount of times I've wanted to snap that disc...lol) and then my dad will go on the computer on some website that supposedly "tracks" Santa and where he is...and updates every few minutes. Then my mum makes me go to bed when he's in central Europe >;l

If we're away we go skiing, then if we have guests we'll stay up and then go to bed 11ish.

But not allowed up before 7 even though me & my brothers (did) wake up at like 5-6ish LOL.

I've never opened my main presents before Christmas day. If it's from a relative who has come down a week before to see us for Christmas, or friends we never see then we might be allowed but never my presents from my Parents/Brothers or Santa...I don't see why anyone would.

[=Lizzy]

I watch some films with my family or we go out somewhere

[Jordan]

I just do usual, but i track santa using a site wooo

[buttons]

i go to mass with my grandparents & visit everyone in my family
i always open presents i get from friends that night as well but gotta keep all family stuff till next day

[Jamesy]

Order the traditional chinese takeaway for tea. Apart from that it's just a normal day really :).

You all got it so good, I got work at 10 pm xmas eve till 4am xmas morning

[Mathew]

Christmas Eve largely consists getting delivery's out in the morning for the family business, then finishing for about 4pm. As tradition, my family has ALWAYS gone to my Great-Grandad's house where he'd put a nice spread on each year, but since he passed away a few years ago, my great-Auntie and Uncle have taken it over :)

[FlyingJesus]

Go out and get warmly smashed with a few friends then stumble back around 2 or 3 giving loud season's greetings to anyone we pass, usually to be reciprocated in a similarly festive manner

[Meanies]

i do what i'd do on any other night
then help my mum sort the presents into whos is whos then watch tv a bit more then go bed whenever

[wixard]

i wake up i shower i get dressed i attend some family event then at 6 we watch santa claus on the news n then i go to the pub with friends n then come home n peek at my presents then go bed

[Special]

[nat965]

We go to a church service in the morning, then do normal things. Then when night falls, go look around town at the lights. then when we come home and open presents, then go to bed like normal

[Zak]

[Chris]

NEVER dis Polar Express again. It's my favourite film and I have a obsession with it. ^_^

Anyway, I spend xmas eve just watching xmas films and getting ready for the next day. I normally go to bed fairly early on xmas eve though because other wise I'll be too tired for xmas.

[Alkaz]

We normally tidy the house and make sure everything is prepared for Christmas and all of that stuff. Then we sit down and have beans on toast and then we shoot off for about 6 hours visiting family and dropping of presents then we come home and watch some kind of film.

[dirrty]

not much rly. the older i get, the more of a grinch i turn into.

[IceNineKills]

I work over christmas, just another day for me.

[Recursion]

[Phil]

[Gibs960]

[Technologic]

Go out for a meal normally

[Chippiewill]

I stay up til midnight, open my stocking, log onto hxf to say merry Christmas and start eating my rowntrees fruit pastels.

[Sharon]

Same as any other day :L wake up at 12pm watch TV till 5 and go on the computer till 11 :L

[Arch]

Usually go to a family members house or stay at my own and have family over, wait till midnight and then everyone opens their gifts

[Swastika]

Go to the barbers during the day, chill all day really, have a few beers on the night, go to bed.
Just like a normal day except its alot more Christmasy, can't wait if im honest!

[K-Dogga]

I do nothing on Christmas Eve, Just wait for Christmas! :dance:

[Catzsy]

For some reason we have to have cheese and biscuits and a glass of advocaat at 9pm. :S
A couple of presents are opened as well. Probably be either watching TV or on here except for the 9pm ritual.

[Dean]

[Circadia]

Go to sleep? I don't see any of my relatives (apart from people who live with me) Over christmas because they all live in kent and my nan goes down there for christmas. The last time everyone was together was before I was born so yeah a long long time ago!

[Narnat,]

Go out with friends to the carnival or with my family or go and watch something in the theatre. And I open my presents at like 1am.
