Well its hardly a tradition, but it's what tends to happen on Christmas Eve.
Mr Boo bogs off out with pressies for relatives we usually havent had time to dish out beforehand and he's out for hours. I in the meeantime run round like a mad woman (oh ok, a madder woman) cleaning, eventually throwing a hyper child into bed threatening that "Santa wont come if you don't go to sleep NOWWW". Then I open a bottle of booze, and as I'm not normally a drinker, I'm usually passed out snoring on the sofa when Mr Boo eventually comes home.
sounds idylic doesn't it?

haha Peri, its sad but true- it really is like that on Xmas Eve in our house :-(
Ideally what i's like is for the house to be gleaming, we're all getting pleasently merry on egg nog and eating something festive whilst grinning inanely at each other, then we'd all get get wrapped up and go to a Midnight Mass at a lovely village church- oh and did I tell you it would also be snowing?
PS
I did once go to a midnight mass at our local church, it was horrific and not an experience i want to repeat, Mr Boo still hasn't forgiven me- but that's another story.

well this Christmas Eve when things start going pear shaped just run to a local bridge and with the help of God an angel will throw themselves into the water and then will show you that you really do have a wonderful life. Think of me and this on Christmas Eve!!!!! At least you dont have to put up with my mothers stuffing - but thats another story !!
My mother has recently resurrected the traditional family carol concert.
I have explained to her that I shall need copious amounts of alcohol on tap if she expects me to sing or play anything. Thankfully, she has organised it for a week night, so I can plead "work commitments" to only stay for an hour.
It will be difficult though. A number of the people who attend rather fancy themselves as choir material. I always used to end up nearly horizontal with laughter.
