We have jigsaw puzzles that I have collected since 1991 I have bought one a year since my first child was born all festive scenes
We start on the first December and have one on the go until 1st January my eldest son who is now 17 picks the first one to do.
Me and the children decorate the tree together.
I make sausage rolls and chestnut stuffing with my daughter on Christmas eve, as my mum done with me and to mums recipe.
I really enjoy just me hubby and the children having Christmas day alone, so we can play games and just not have to worry about rushing anywhere or waiting on others.
We see family and friends just not on Christmas day.
Every year during the week before Chrimbo we all climb in the car and tour the local areas for an hour or so looking at the decorated houses. I dont know if thats a traditional type thing but its what we do and we all look forward to it.
We always go to my parents for Xmas and used to be my Nans for Boxing Day but sadly she died 5 years ago, so we go to my Uncles now.
My kids always do a bit of a variety show (no adult input allowed) and it's so fun!
I have a new festive day tradition.

My time is far better spent at my workplace

Pyjamas!!
Our Christmas has been fairly messed about with over the last few years, and the kids often end up sleeping elsewhere on Christmas Eve now (not my choice, just necessity for one reason and another). So Christmas morning generally sees me getting up at about 7am, getting dressed and driving round picking them up to bring them back to my house. We then all get changed into pyjamas, and then and onlythen, do we open the pressies biggrin
This year I also have my bestest mate and my sister staying with me, and they're bringing Christmas jammies with them to wear for Christmas morning too :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
