Our Christmas Eve Routine* - Bump and Beyond Blog

Happy Christmas everyone! It’s finally Christmas on Monday and we are so
so so so SO excited for the big day, but I think I love Christmas Eve
probably just as much as Christmas Day; so I thought I’d share our Christmas Eve routine.

It
starts off with Darcy waking me up at silly o’clock, we open the last
door of her advent calendar, then she get stuck into her Christmas Eve
box, It
includes a festive DVD, movie snacks, new PJs, a bath bomb and a plate
to put Santa’s treats on. Darcy has fallen in love with silver Light up Wooden Star, its battery operated as well.

We
spend the afternoon facetiming friends and family, and Darcy and her
Grandma have their annual Christmas Bake off. This year it was minced
pies, whilst I try to do my last Christmas shopping and wrap up all her
presents.

We
then settle down to our Christmas Eve buffet, because I’m going to be
completely honest, I don’t have the time or energy to be wanting to
cook, especially knowing the next day, I’ll be stuck in the kitchen for
half of the day.

Christmas
Eve, is not Christmas Eve without watching some Christmas movies, our
favourites are Elf and The Grinch. We snuggle down into freshly washed
festive theme duvet covers. This year it’s these reindeer brushed cotton set, they are so warm and cosy and goes well with my faux fur throw.
JD Williams have some lovely homeware bits at the moment. There’s
normally a bit of pouting as I won’t let Darcy have all the strawberry
crème chocolates, they are my favourite after all.

Darcy
then has a bath with the bathbomb from her Christmas eve box, I always
choose Luxury Pud from Lush as it has lavender in it and helps her fall
asleep easier, we leave Santa his treats next to the fire-place and
head to bed to read Santa Is Coming To Enfield then it’s finally
bed time and I can have a cheeky Ameretto and cranberry juice.
