Christmas Eve time to create your own family traditions.

Christmas eve is one of the most magical of days, but in equal parts it can be rather stressful. Especially if you don’t make a plan.  So.. how about creating some new family traditions so everyone knows how the day will run, when you have little ones it’s a great way to keep things calm (er)….

Real family Christmases are not perfect and not everything is going to go to plan. So let’s start with the prep as this will help, plus being kind to you, and everyone will have fun…

Top tips:

Let’s hope the Christmas gifts are wrapped, its time to ensure they are hidden but not so well hidden they’re impossible to access QUIETLY...

The big toys are built? No, see if someone can take the kids out for a run around in the park for an hour or so… building in the early hours is not fun especially with eggnog on board.

So you have everything in hand, still see if you can get someone to take the kids out for a run about in the park or out and about, breathe and enjoy the peace.
