Hey lovelies,
(updated post)
Loads of people have lots of traditions, some going back to their childhood. I don’t actually remember if we had any traditions as children but I have a few now, I’m not saying they’ll stay the same forever but right now, they work & I love them.
We don’t have many christmas eve traditions but the ones we do have we enjoy –
We tend to just do nothing all day, I’ll finish off wrapping any of Richards pressies while he’s still in bed.
The afternoon is spent with us just watching christmas TV.
In the late afternoon into the early evening, we’ll prepare the veg for christmas day lunch – peeled, cut & put in pans of water (apart from the parsnips ). Food we’ll eat on christmas eve is what we call a mixieblob – cheese & crackers, pickles, chutneys, boiled eggs (with pepper…do not forget to put pepper on your eggs – you’re welcome) usually while we watch a christmas film.
Christmas eve in 2014 I went to midnight mass & I’d like to do that this year with Richard. We’ll see??
We became Christians in 2018 & so we attend midnight communion on christmas eve evert year now.
We only have a couple of christmas morning traditions –
The 1st thing we do is get ready & attend our christmas day church service…yay for the birth of Jesus.
I used to get up 1st & after I had breakfast & a proper (ground) coffee, I would set the table…
…now I do that after church, we’ll open presents with a glass of something throughout the day, as dinner is cooking.
The rest of christmas day is spent like most households, eating, drinking & relaxing.
~ MERRY CHRISTMAS ~
Bye for now.
Love Sarah Sx
