Everyone has
the own special little traditions on Christmas Eve, I thought as it is so close
to the 24th now that I would share my Christmas Eve routine.
The first thing
I will do on Christmas Eve is check that I have all my presents sorted for the
next day, I finish of any last wrapping and place all the presents into bags
ready to be carried down in the morning. I love to gift give, it’s one of my favourite
aspects of Christmas and I always get incredibly excited to give out the gifts
I have got for my loved ones.
Then it’s time
to wind down, I will either have a bath or a really long shower. If having a
bath, I will fill it with various bath bombs and bubble bath (often from Lush),
and get all my special body lotions, creams and face mask for the most perfect
pamper evening.
Once out of the
bath or shower, we will often get a little present for Christmas Eve. The
present is often a new set of pyjamas or a dressing gown for us to wear for the
evening and wake up in on Christmas day. This year I have also made my brother
and sister a Christmas Eve box full of little goodies, so I can’t wait to give
that to them to use on the evening.
When our pyjamas
are on it’s Christmas movie time, more often than not it is Elf! Elf is by far
the best Christmas movie and I refuse to have Christmas without watching it. I
also like to watch the Wizard of Oz, despite not being a Christmas movie, for some
reason we have seemed to watch it every year at Christmas.
Now despite
everyone in my house being told old for Father Christmas, we still put out a
plate of milk, carrots and chocolates (Father Christmas doesn’t like mince pies
in our house, aha) for his and the reindeer’s arrival. My brother and sister will
then go off to bed and more often than not I will sit up and help mum, to wrap up
any presents left that she needs to wrap. Again, despite being told old for Father
Christmas, on Christmas Eve I will still go to bed earlier than usual and wait
for the morning ahead.
It’s only a
small little routine, but it’s probably the evening routine of the whole year
that is the most important.
Hope you are all
having a wonderfully festive time,
Much Love,
