It doesn’t matter how old we are, we all get giddy on Christmas Eve and wonder what Santa is going to bring us.
Yes, yes, he delivers to the children, but what about the grown ups who are still children inside? He comes to them too you know.
As Buddy the Elf would say, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.”
In other words, the more you believe in the magic of Christmas, the better the magical feeling it brings.
If you’re reading, Santa, then I’m not too fussy. As long as I’ve got some good books to read, a few dvd boxsets to watch (because, let’s face it, Christmas Day telly is dismal nowadays what with no Only Fools and Horses Christmas Specials on anymore, and films that have been on before!), then I’m happy.
Getting to see all my friends and family over Christmas is also a priority (albeit a sappy one), but when we all live all over the UK it’s hard to all get together over Christmas on the same day.
So here’s to a good night out with friends over Christmas with a few glasses of the Christmas spirit, and some family get togethers too.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I love getting together at christmas, we are all a bit spread out so we try and so lots of christmases! Cant wait
It’s great when everyone gets together, isn’t it? Any excuse for a get together, that’s what I always say!
sorry to burst your bubble but no we dont all get excited on Christmas Eve.I find it a very hard time and wish the whole world would go away and leave me alone.
I’ve just been to read your blog post, and can completely understand why you feel that way. To me, Christmas Eve has always been a time to be excited and full of anticipation, so to read from another point of view has been eye opening.
As you said though, Christmas can always be made a magical time – it doesn’t take presents to make a good Christmas, as fond childhood memories can be made from simple things such as baking, tree decorating, or just good old fashioned traditions.
That’s what’s important.
