"Leaving the country is our traditional thing. Mum's off tomorrow (I've got to get her to the airport from 4am - yuck!) - I fly on Saturday. "
Where are you off? Anywhere exciting? |

"Omg we have soooo many 
A Christmas Eve tea party, family around  then new Christmas jamas and slippers and dressing gowns  then watch the snowman, then tell the little people Christmas tales( made up as I go along) then pics in front of the tree( which is sweet to look back on how they have grown each year) then shout up the chimney to Santa about how good they've been( no 1 little person still does this even though he's all grown up) then cover the garden in food for rudolf and his mates, then put the carrot, milk and mince pie on the hearth, and up to bed for the small ones, then a takeaway and a glass of baileys and repeats of the royale family Christmas specials we do this the same every year Eeeek love christmas Mrs blue eyes
Aw lovely
I used to do this but all mine are grown up now. I do love Christmas still though  "
. You should get them all staying over and get them to do it again, it would be such a giggle, my sisters are twins of 24 and her eldest is 26, she gets them home for Christmas Eve, partners also, and they get there Christmas onesies on and still put mince pies for Santa and watch Christmas movies I hope I can get mine to do the same when they are older |

Since my mum passed in 2010
I've lost the Christmas spirit
Make an effort for the grankids
But only real thing is
Christmas starts as soon as the coco cola advert appears |

This year is my first Christmas without my kids so I'm completely without tradition for a solo one, I can't say that I'm looking forward to it to be honest |

I alwayd volunteer but this year is the first I won't be able to. My other traditions are watching The Royal Institution Christmas lectures, eating my weight in clementines and listening to the carols. Oh and a visit to Booths to purchase amazing food and justifying it because it's Christmas. |

My hubby doesn't see his child on Christmas day. Apparently it's family time according to her mum !!! I'm sure he's family but hey ho he makes the best of it. |

Every year since she was born I buy my daughter a special Christmas bauble to put on the tree .
As a family Christmas Eve we put the NORAD Santa tracker up on the PC so we can see his travels. We also have a huge hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows while watching a family film .
When daughter was younger we did the leaving santas special key outside along with special reindeer food and a carrot . Then Christmas morning we'd have to check if it had been eaten before going in to the frount room to see if Santa left presents.
Love it!!! |

For the last couple of years the ISS pass has doubled as seeing Santa racing across the sky.
I don't think it is visible this year though so I'm going to have to do some thinking |

I remember standing outside trying to spot it 2 years ago but failed. We had no idea what to look for and where to look lol |

There is an app that gives you a rough idea of where it will appear and the route across the sky.
Just looks like a very fast moving star. First time I saw it was a bit emotional. Quite an amazing thing really |
