r/christmas

I just have to express my absolute LOVE for Christmas, everything from tree decorating, the cheesy hallmark Christmas movies, the AMAZING songs!! I love the build up I love the day I love opening presents, I love being with more family, I LOVE the food, I love Christmas shopping, I love walking around towns seeing all of the Christmas lights!!

This is how Christmas Day goes for us and tell me how it goes for you!!

I wake up and like a lil kid (I’m a teen) I instantly look at my stocking and take it in to open with my parents!! We all snuggle up and I open them up, usually chocolate oranges, chocolate and more chocolate!! Sometime some other small stuff too!! Then when my nan wakes up I put everything back into my stocking to unpack it again but with my nana!!

Then me and dad make scrambled egg with smoked salmon (ITS AMAZING!!!!!!) and my absolute fav breakfast we save for special occasions!!!!!!

Then it’s the bigggg reveal of under the tree my parents open up the door and we all walk in!! We kinda change up how we do preasants sometimes we do one perosn at a time and sometimes we do a few for one perosn then a few for the next then the next etc till everyone is out of presents and sometimes we just grab and open🤣🤣I always leave a few for later in so I can look forward to a presant all day!!!!!!

Then cause we are are at my nans for every Christmas since I was born (exept Covid for obious reasons) so we go for a walk on the beach with the 3 doggos!!

When we get back we all have a proper look at our preasants eg get batteries, set stuff up and just look at em!! I open the rest of my prezzies throughout the day!!!!!!

Then dinner is the classic (for us) Turkey, pigs in blankets, gravy (ofc), like 8 different vegetables such as carrots, brocalli, cabbidge etc and for pudding we have the classic Christmas pudding, but we also buy a chocolate yaul log and chocolate pine cones which are just DIVINE!!

We then spend the rest of the evening watching tv because earlier in in the week the schedule gets passed around and we all circle what we want to watch (it’s alway strictly, any tv show Christmas specials last few years we have watch Gavin and Stacy, Wallace and Gromit and BBC ghosts Christmas specials!!!!!!)

Then bed!!!!!!

How does your day go?? What’s your favourite part of Christmas??????

And what’s do u really want (I want tickets to go se Shoot From The Hip!!!!!!) but TAHT may have to be a birthday presents instead depending on when they have shows near us!!!!!!

Can say I love reading the rhetoric that says its like inherently terrible to put up christmas before thanksgiving while putting up my christmas tree mid-october every year?

In my defense it takes at least 5 days to get all the trees set up and decorated and fluffed because I go slow and then until about Nov 1st or a little earlier to get the rest of the knickkacks planned out.

Hope I am not the only one lol

It’s almost the season! Which alcohol is the correct alcohol to add to your Eggnog for the proper amount of holiday cheer? And why?

Which Spirit is Best?
• Brandy / Cognac
• Rum
• Bourbon or Whiskey
• Combination (if so, what’s your combo?)

Happy holidays!!

I know it's only October, but I want to get into the vibes. Listen to music decorate my room a couple of stores have already put up Christmas stuff

Hi!! Does anyone have good recommendations for an advent calendar? I’m thinking of getting the Amazon beauty one https://link.amazon/B09Pn1WZ0 but I’m looking for another that isn’t beauty based.

I want to do the viral look thats been around, of the white fairy lights that spiral around the tree, but i want coloured lights on the tree too! (Think the classic 80s/90s colours)

Do you think coloured lights as the base, with white spiral would look good? Or should i just do white twinkles and the spiral?

I love whimsical christmas vibes, tartan, nostalgic, etc!
