I am going to share with you how my
family prepare and celebrate Christmas.
BEFORE
CHRISTMAS
Before, we obviously make sure that all
our Christmas shopping has been done and presents have been sent to family
members we don’t see at Christmas. Twelve to fourteen days before Christmas, we
put up our tree and other decorations and send out Christmas cards. On
Christmas Eve we make sure the house is clean and tidy and my parents make sure
we have everything we need, such as, food/snacks and drinks. And my Dad
prepares all of the vegetables. We then go to bed whenever we want and try to
sleep!
CHRISTMAS
DAY
On Christmas morning we usually wake up
early (not on purpose, lack of sleep) and then make a hot drink. The four of us
then go upstairs to our living room and open presents. My Sister and I usually
eat chocolate for breakfast and we all have a glass of bucks fizz. My parents
then start cooking Christmas dinner. My Nanna and Pops come around mid-morning
to afternoon with more presents and to open their presents from us. We usually
sit down to our turkey and vegetable dinner between three and four o’ clock. We
then have desert and after we watch the television. When my grandparents have
gone home, we all get ready for bed and sit and watch the Christmas specials of
TV shows we watch. We then go to bed whenever we want.
AFTER
CHRISTMAS
The day after Christmas on the 26th
is called Boxing Day in the UK and this is when the Christmas sales start. We
get up a little earlier, so we can get ready and go sale shopping. Then in the
mid-afternoon we go around to my grandparents’ house and have a buffet. We then
watch some more TV and sometimes fall asleep. Later on in the evening we go
home and get ready for bed and watch more TV.
My family traditions do slightly come
across as being boring, but we like to spend it together and relax before going
back to work!
What are your Christmas
traditions?
