For Christmas this year, my brothers and I decided to not buy each other presents, but rather spend the money on a gift bag for the homeless, with necessities like toothpaste and hand sanitizer.

Relax and spend with family
For christmas this year I am first spending the morning with my dad, then my sister is coming over and taking me over to see my mum, then we all (except dad) are going over to my nans house to spend christmas day the same way we always do:
The whole family will get together and we will have a traditional christmas dinner. Then we will all talk and stuff and help with cleaning while the stuff from dinner gets cleared up. Then we usually have a family quiz. Then we have this tradition called the ‘postbox’. Everyone puts all their presents for everyone inside the postbox then my grandad plays santa and gives the presents out to everyone. Usually someone films it and it’s a very special time for everyone. Afterwards we will often play a game of some sort that someone has recieved for christmas. Afterwards we will have a buffet dinner then people will start to leave so we thank everyone again for everything and go home to bed.
Spoiling the ones I love the most and most probably getting spoiled right back
To celebrate Christmas this year, I have delicately wrapped each present for my family, already placed them under tree which I have decorated with novelty baubles this year – so everybody can become inspired before the big day
I’ll be mostly celebrating chocolate, but of course there is a little bit of time left to celebrate being with my lovey man this Christmas
I will have a house full of family aged between 90 and 10 months. I will cook a feast, we will laugh lots, play games and have a wonderful time. My grandson’s first christmas so it is extra special.
Hopefully relaxing after cooking for 20 people x
We will enjoy eating a fantastic Christmas lunch, followed by a snooze on the sofa!
I’m celebrating by having family to stay because they have to leave their rented house by 24th December but their new home isn’t ready yet. So I’m going to have a brilliant Christmas because I have family really close for the whole of the festive period – brilliant!
