I think it's Xmas eve or Xmas day. It goes up to 6th of January. I love that one! I've got free Kylie Minogue A Christmas Gift - ep - Aphrodite, Can't beat the feeling and Santa Baby songs, Snow Patrol, etc... I can't remember, I will try and look at my selection
Oh and the Coca Cola advert with the Xmas jingle and the cola lorry. "The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming..."

Love this thread Hayles

Christmas is my favorite time of year. Everyone just seems so much happier.

The tree and decorations go up the 1st December, which takes a good whole day to erect and get everything just nice. I have a Christmas village that spreads across our piano, that my girls think is just so corny. Hubby will put up fairy lights outside. Christmas Eve we will go for a drive and see all the Christmas displays that people set up in their yards. Some are just so magical. We celebrate with both our extended families. Usually we take turns each year, but we've had it at our place nine times in the last 15 years. It's always at our place Christmas night though. But we have big areas so everyone fits easily and then there's the pool because it's normally very hot. We start the day with Bing Crosby singing White Christmas, that's a must for me, just love his voice and he just makes it more Christmas somehow. The girls open their stockings first thing. I started doing stockings when the girls were very little filled with lots of little gifts. They insist we keep this tradition going as they love the little surprises they get. Of course Santa still puts them at the end of their beds. We then gather around the xmas tree and open our gifts. Breakfast is usually light as for the rest of the day all we do is eat and drink. Lunch - roast turkey, roasted vegetables also bar-b-qued steaks and chicken, fresh crabs and king prawns and 3 to 4 salads usually. Then the desserts, christmas cake, baked passionfruit cheesecake, pavlova (that's a must for my hubby) and trifle served with fresh fruit of melons, mangoes, stone fruit, strawberries and lychees. by then we are totally stuffed and loll around like slugs for the rest of the afternoon. Come around 5, boyfriends, cousins and friends will begin to arrive and we start all over again. It's been known to turn into an impromptu party and one year ended at 5 the next morning.

Boxing day is usually spent cleaning up, but everyone pitches in throughout Christmas day. Like I said, just love Christmas, but it's a lot of work.

Wow! Your Xmas sounds just like ours except ours is smaller. Everyone has their own family now so it's just 6 or 7 of us on Xmas day. We go to sister-in-laws with a little prezzie to open Xmas eve. This was for the kids and as teenagers they still love this. We have mulled wine, Xmas pies etc... Crackers and cheese. Some years we go to church but usually we go to Christingle at the local town church first Sunday of December. I've usually made the pies, cake and anything else needed by then. Xmas decorations go up end of November. We put up a fake Xmas tree but then a real one goes in closer to Xmas due to needle fall. Hubby puts up indoor decorations and outdoor lights. We are in charge of the tree. We have huge green swags of greenery with big red bows in between. It looks like a Xmas grotto. We have two china Xmas nativity scenes as well. One on the mantel and one in the front window.

Ooh! This makes me so warm and cosy! I love Xmas. It's my favourite time of the year! Please let me know what you do for Xmas everyone!
