What do You do on the 24th?

As we were eating dinner tonight, Brent asked, "What should we do on Christmas eve day?"

Umm, what should we do? Everything is done, we're just ready and waiting. We've watched just about every Christmas movie we own and we've read most of our Christmas books/stories. All of the baking and candy making is complete and the goodies have been delivered. All the gifts are wrapped and sitting patiently under the tree. Since we won't be traveling or going visiting this Christmas, we have all day to do whatever we want. We just have to decided what that want will be. We have big plans from about 4:00 on, but the schedule is clear prior to that time. So, what are your Christmas eve day traditions, assuming you're staying at home? Do tell!

I just have to say I am impressed that you have it all done!! I still have baking to do and some more presants to wrap!! We are still getting gifts in the mail from family too!!

It has been years since we have had a christmas with family so we do alot of fun things. I usually make the kids clean the house till it shines!! We play board games, When we lived in snow I took them to the hills and went sledding. We also did a secret santa one year adopting a needy family, That was really fun!! We go and meet our neighbors and deliver goodies. You could go caroling at your local nursing home:) Or go see someone who is housebound and doesn't have family around. If I lived in Utah I alway loved Temple square! I would totally do that on Christmas eve too! Although its probably crowded.
Good luck, Post what you end up doing!!

I've always had to work Christmas Eve day (well at least until noon) and then it's basically just getting ready. I have to babysit the morning of Christmas Eve this year...so we pretty much don't do much of anything during the day. Make Santa's cookies but other than that it's more the evening too. It's a good day to relax and just enjoy Christmas excitement because you know the next day will be a little more crazy!

What about making some cookies especially for santa. We always decorated sugar cookies for santa on christmas eve day but because we have 2 kids with work schedules now, we did that on the weekend. We always go to the Dartmouth live christmas nativity pageant on christmas eve and then we burn off time on the way home by driving around neighborhoods and admiring lights and decorations. The kids always liked that. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Miss you.

I'm having the same dilema.. which is a rare thing for me.Although I know most of mine will be cooking the big dinner.. ( I do mine on christmas eve. and then eat left overs on christmas. I have a strict NO cooking policy on christmas)

We will probably do another spotless clean, board games and a christmas movie.. maybe make a few treats just for us. who know.. maybe nothing.. if you find something fun to do during the day SHARE!

I still think it's awesome you're all the way done. And hope you guys have very merry and enjoyable christmas.<3
