Normally/ in previous years, Christmas begins for my girlfriend and I on Christmas Eve when we spend as much of the day as possible (due to work etc) with my parents, have a lovely buffet dinner finished off with a baked alaska.
Normally play a few fun games and have a good laugh maybe open a pressie or two then head home.
Then Christmas Day we spend the day at home just the two of us, get up usual sort of time and have a lovely breakfast of smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and croissants.
Then we start the food going (all veg etc prepped the day before so it's nice and simple).
Then presents and chocolate etc.
Lunch as and when it's ready.
More pressies then tv/films, food and drink till bed time.
The Boxing Day we get up as normal, head round to her parent's house along with her sister and nieces and nephew, have another full christmass dinner. Then it's more presents (mainly for the kids sadly) followed by more food and drink.
So a good three day extravaganza!!!
This year will probably be a bit different as we now have a little boy who will be 11 1/2 months come christmas, so it will be a bit more chaotic but hopefully lots of fun.
