If you are young the 24th is normal to go out to pubs and discos and party with like friends. 25 th you would be at home with family to eat lots of turkey , drink s and fall asleep in front of the tv. 26th you could go to the pub and meet friends, a football game, or just have a walk in the area. It,s really about spending time with the family in that period, and of course if you are a kiddie and believe in father christmas then it,s a magic time in your life for a few years.

Xmas eve is the 24th, Xmas day is the 25th and Boxing day is the 26th.

A lot of people will tend to have a small celebration on Xmas eve, either by going out with friends, or having a small event at home… with families it tends to be a quieter occasion as it’s hard work getting small children off to bed when they’re so excited.

Xmas day will start off with opening of presents and at some point a large Xmas dinner will follow, this can be at any time during the day and is a matter of personal preference. A lot of family will usually attend this meal, those from further afield will tend to stay over/locally. The day might end with some family based games along with drinks.. Charades etc.

Boxing day has always been a bit of a do-what-you-like day for me… quite a few people will make a habbit of going to watch the football on that day, whilst others will stay at home and watch films on TV. It’s very much a chilled out day of rest and relaxation… food tends to be buffet style/leftovers.

xmas eve is the 24th – send the children to bed early ready for santa.

xmas day is the 25th – get up early, open presents, then have a big family xmas dinner

boxing day is the 26th – lounge around the house all day or maybe go visit some family and friends, eat leftover turkey!

This is the general way most people spend xmas but it varies from house to house as every family has their own traditions and ways of doing things!
