Christmas Eve – Related Words and Tasks

What do we do on a Christmas Eve in our family

My name is Susan and husband’s name is David. We have 2 children called Fin and Millie. Fin is 7 and Millie is 4. On Christmas Eve, the children go to bed at 8 pm. They do not want to go to bed because they are excited about Santa coming with presents. They wake up very early and at about 6 am. We get up and go downstairs. The children open their presents and play with their new toys. They are very happy. We have breakfast – usually toast and jam and a cup of tea. After breakfast, the children watch TV and play with their toys. I put the turkey in the oven because it has to cook  for a long time.

At 11 am, my mom and dad come to visit. We open more presents and then have a cup of tea and some Christmas cake. Then I start to make the Christmas dinner. At 2 pm, we have Christmas dinner, we ate turkey, potatoes, little sausages, Brussel sprouts and cranberry sauce. Then we have Christmas pudding. We pull Christmas crackers and wear the paper hats on our heads. After dinner, we are all very tired. We watch TV and play games, fin and Millie go to bed at 7.30 pm and my husband and I go bed at 9.30 pm. It is a very busy day but we love it.
