Happy Christmas Eve! I hope you are all ready for the big day? We are having our Christmas dinner today as Becky is working tomorrow and wouldn't be able to enjoy it to the fullest! It seems strange but it means I will be able to fully enjoy tomorrow, eating leftovers, opening presents and just relaxing.
Anyway here are some fun and festive Christmas Eve this or that questions!
Christmas Eve: Stay up late or go to bed early?
I want to go to bed early but will probably stay up late enjoying the build up to Christmas! There is no rush to get up in the morning as I don't have the dinner to cook.
Hot cocoa or drinking mulled wine?
Hot cocoa! Mulled wine is nice but that is more of a drink to drink when your outside.
Christmas Eve movie: Home Alone or Elf?
Ohhh!! Tough choice! I think Home Alone and only because I watched Elf last Christmas Eve and I have already watched it a few weeks ago.
Opening one gift on Christmas Eve or waiting until Christmas Day?
As much as I would like to open one on Christmas Eve I always wait until Christmas day and make my family wait too. We always get new pj's and a new mug on Christmas eve so the treats are still there.
Real tree or artificial tree?
I would love a real one but I can't be bothered with the cleaning up so it's an artificial one for us. I love my decorations on our tree, it's all Harry Potter themed!
Wrapping paper or gift bags?
As much as I hate wrapping presents, I couldn't do just gift bags. There's something special about ripping wrapping paper off a present. Oh and picking it all up too when the presents have been opened. lol
Snowy or Sunny Christmas?
I would love to wake up to a white Christmas but ideally by the afternoon the snow will have gone and the sun would be shining.
Mistletoe or Christmas lights?
Christmas lights. Mistletoe is just boring. The lights are pretty and make me happy. Although if Roman Reigns or Robbie Williams was under the mistletoe, that might be different. hehehe
Matching Christmas PJs or ugly Christmas sweater?
My family and I always have matching Christmas pj's. This year saw my girls saw the Power Ranger onesies in Primark but I said no! We went with something else.
Christmas pudding or mince pies?
Today, mince pies! Tomorrow Christmas pudding!
Silent night by the fire or festive night out?
A bit of both. We always go out to join in with the carols around the town's Christmas tree, call into the pub on the way home and then spend the rest of the evening getting excited for Christmas day!
Stockings on the fireplace or hanging at the end of the bed?
As a child mine was always at the end of my bed, I learned as I got older that it was a sure fire way of keeping my brother and I busy while my parents got a little extra bit of sleep. I have always done the same for my girls and for the same reason.
Candy canes or chocolate?
Chocolate, always chocolate! Although I do like a candy cane dipped in my hot chocolate, it gives it a minty taste.
A Christmas movie marathon or playing board games?
Board games, even if it is Monopoly with my cheating family! By Christmas Eve we've usually watched all of our favourite Christmas movies.
Having everything wrapped or wrapping on Christmas Eve?
I always say I will have everything wrapped well before Christmas but there's always something which needs wrapping. This year I have been wrapping as I've been buying things so there's not much left to do!
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas day!
Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYou sound really on top of it this year. We were traveling so I had to be more organized than usual. Still there is one gift I'll be wrapping tonite, but overall just relaxing. We watched Home Alone last night and honestly that movie never gets old. We all agree it might be the funniest fifteen minutes in any film ever when his plan gets put into action. Have a very merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI have never bought matching pjs, I just couldn't imagine my lot wearing them, they'd kill me if I tried, lol. I have missed all the carols and lights turning on this year, and even the Christmas market, but tbh I really don't mind. I'd rather stay home and warm. I don't like candy canes, it's chocolate for me. Happy Christmas to you all xx
ReplyDeleteGreat answers! I love the Harry Potter decorations, I do like a themed tree. Have a lovely Christmas x
ReplyDeleteWe always try to go to bed early too but end up staying up late since we almost always have a family gathering Christmas eve... which means we almost always have a gift or two to open as well. These were fun to read!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun post! We always stay up late on Christmas Eve because we do Christmas at my parents' house that night, but thankfully, Santa Claus comes to our house really late so we have time to get the kids in the bed. ; o)
