How do you spend Christmas Eve?

Going to mass and then eating cookies

In my family, Christmas Eve is all about relaxation. Spend it just chilling out, and we usually have a Chinese takeaway. Followed by some mince pies, watching Christmas TV. Love it!

I so understand that OM. I went through that a few years ago when we moved to Australia ....

Prior to that, Christmas Eve gathering at our house had become a tradition over many years and it took a bit of getting used to the fact that that era was gone and no more .... but circumstances change !!

The past few Christmas Eves I've spent it watching the Carols by Candle Light program on TV and wrapping last minute presents

Here in Sweden we celebrate Christmas on 24.th. usually we go up quite early to go visiting the cemeteries where our parents are, we light candles and put hyacinths on the graves. In the afternoon, we start by watching Donald Duck and his friends wish Merry Christmas. A program that includes clips from several of Disney favorites, and anything from a new film from the past year. After that, we sit down to eat Christmas dinner, in the evening, then Santa Claus will visit with presents. The evening then go in peacefulness signs we hang out and have it cozy. On Christmas Day, then it's just peace and quiet maybe a long walk if the weather allows.
