🎄 Christmas Eve 🎄

edited November 2023 in The subforum of Christmas Past
Hi guys, only 1 more day until Christmas Eve 🎄 so I thought I would ask is anyone doing anything nice on Christmas Eve before the big day??. I'm probably going to watch some films and maybe have a read.

    Getting flowers to put on my stepmoms grave at Christmas and also some to put on my stepsisters boyfriends grave too

    Hi @Chloe234 that sounds like a lovely idea to do. I'm sorry to hear your loss. Flowers are a very nice to put on as it shows appreciation for our loved ones.

    I'm going to track Santa. Anyone joining me? I'll make a thread on here so other people can see Santa's journey too.

    @Dancer tracking Santa sounds fun! I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet, it will depend on how I feel. I usually spend time with my sisters on Christmas Eve

    I have always done that every Christmas, so I will definitely be doing it this year. I can't wait for the thread!!.

    @Dancer - in my house we've always done the tracking Santa thing with my siblings so I'm sure we'll do it again.

    @Amy22 - my plans sound very similar - nothing beats watching films on Christmas eve.

    @Chloe234 - what a beautiful gesture and I'm sorry for your loss - hope you have a nice christmas

    A good chill sounds like a great plan @Amy22. How might you chill?

    For me, it will be watching Christmas movies with my family whilst eating Plant Kitchen churros. I am thinking Nativity :)

    I’m having a good chill before going out for tea later. Not feeling any better today so I’m back in bed with PJs on. Is the only way to kill this to dull it with baileys? Because I’m rather tempted

    @independent_ Please could you do me a massive favour. I need to quickly go out to the shops (I'll be back as soon as possible) but I need someone to carry on updating the Santa Tracker thread. Please could you do it for me? You just need to put his next stop and the estimated time of arrival. It's on Google Santa Tracker.

    I can’t figure it out with my screen reader :( I found google Santa tracker but it’s being dumb on my phone, I’ll have look round it now to see if it shows me the info you need on the reader

    Is there anyone else online who could help? I’ve been using norad tracker, that works ok but it’s different to google

    So you just need to put Santa's next location and the estimated time of arrival, just like how I have been doing it.

    Enjoy your chill before going out for tea later @independent_. Sorry to hear you’re still not feeling any better today :/

    Bed with PJs on sounds good though! What a brilliant ‘excuse’ for some Baileys – it is the Christmas season after all so if you’re old enough then why not :p
