As this is my first Christmas actually blogging I wanted to write a Christmas style blog post where I talk about my Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for me as a thing that I can look back on in a few years and look how much of a good Christmas I had.
This wonβt be the normal type of Christmas post you see around because, to be honest, there are a few reasons why. One reason being Iβm aware of other people around me who are less fortunate than me and if I put pictures of what I got for Christmas it sort of seems like Iβm bragging so Iβm not going too.
Plus there is a lot of families around that wonβt be having a very good Christmas because of personal circumstances Eg. Deaths, memories. I hope you understand my reasoning for how Iβm going to write this blog post.
Christmas Eve –
Weβre that type of family that like things a little bit more quiet and family orientated instead of going out drinking or partying. Family is the most important thing for us. We saw my grandparents on Christmas Eve morning for a few hours to exchange presents which were lovely to see. Most of the day then we spent relaxing at home and getting ready for Christmas Day by preparing the vegetables and stuff which I helped do for example cutting and peeling carrots, sprouts and potatoes π₯
At around 5:30 ish we decided that we were going to go to the cinema which we decided on earlier on in the week, we went to see βLast holidayβ. It was a great film quite funny actually and a great cast in but towards the end it was really sad I donβt want to spoil it for you if you want to see it. Itβs definitely worth the watch !!
That was my Christmas Eve like I said quiet and relaxing !!
Christmas Day –
Christmas morning –
On Christmas Day we had a slow start today and a bit of chill one, Me and my sister had a relaxing morning Iβm bed till about 9 while my mom and dad went out dog walking. When my parents got back we all sat in the lounge and opened our presents and exchanged them, I received some lovely presents from parents and grandparents which Iβm very grateful for as I didnβt particularly ask for anything this year to be honest none of us did.
Opening our presents always takes a few hours which I quite like, we had some crumpets while opening them which has become a bit of tradition for us !! Then I went to get ready for the day very relaxed look as I was just in the house no makeup π.
Christmas dinner –
Then we had our Christmas dinner around 1:30 which was gorgeous I forgot to take a picture though π€¦π»ββοΈ We had Turkey, mash, sprouts, carrots, peas, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, gravy, parsnips, red cabbage and Yorkshire puddings I think I might have forgotten something.
After our Christmas dinner, we spent the afternoon and evening together watching Christmas films and normal films which were lovely and had a nap π¬ We watched Miracle on 34th street, Uncle buck and Home alone 3 π
That was my Christmas Day !!
I hope you all enjoyed reading about my Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Iβve been thinking about writing this post all Christmas πI hope you all had a lovely Christmas Eve and Christmas Day too π

Until next time π
Had a pretty laid back Christmas this year. Ended up meeting my friend for a couple of drinks with my partner Christmas Eve, then spent Christmas Day and Boxing Day in our PJs.
Neither of us are a fan of turkey, we did try to get goose which use to be the traditional Christmas dinner meat until the Americanisation, but we couldn’t find one this year. We ended up having beef wellington instead, which really nice.

It sounds like you had a lovely Christmas! My Christmas has changed now since having my daughter so it is very much focused around her but I love it! It has bought the magic back. We saw Santa Christmas Eve, she opened her Christmas Eve box and we watched Christmas films before setting up everything for Santa.
Glad you had a nice Christmas!

This sounds like a lovely Christmas time! We’re quite similar with our celebrations – nothing too big, and really just spending time with family. We went over to my Mum and Dad’s to cook them Christmas dinner which was lovely – I love being able to take charge of the food!
