Looking forward to christmas this year as my oldest son is 3 so will understand what's going on this year. My youngest is 1 so will have no clue - but i'm sure will enjoy playing with all the wrapping paper and boxes! Will probably be just the four of us here for Christmas dinner, then possibly visit parents/inlaws or have them visit us. Haven't decided yet, but looking forward to it. I agree that it's so more magical/exciting with kids and lots of fun and noise! Joanne

Other half is working days Christmas day & Boxing day so I will be up at 5.30 am both days with him , the kids are all grown up now . Christmas dinner will not be till 7pm when he gets home . But we will have a big dinner together on Christmas Eve and go see the family that day . But as everyone has said Christmas is better when there are youngsters about, The preperation for Christams can be more exciting than the day now we have no littlies at home Jan

The 1st christmas after my husband died I took the family to a hotel so we were all together and I told all of my 8 children I would spend the next 8 christmas's with them each in turn. Soon it will be the turn of the grandchildren if I last that long LOL. We always had all the family together either christmas day or boxing day,you can imagin cooking for 36 people.
