“Here comes Christmas Eve! Something we all wait for, impatiently, for a year! And why not! It is the time when families meet, gifts are wrapped, kids have fun, parents become lenient, crucial family time is spent together, grand family dinners are hosted, parties galore, and all joints are full! 24th December, Christmas Eve, is so very special for all of us! And did I forget the holidays too start from this day!
Christmas is a grand occasion worldwide. This festival is a great equalizer. Family, friends, relatives all come together to make this festival grand and memorable. This feeling starts from Christmas Eve. Each and everyone from all around the world tries their best to get back home before Christmas Eve so that they spent some quality with each other on this occasion.
Everyone waits for this festival and many make yearlong preparations to make this day memorable and fruitful for their loved ones and for themselves.
Different people have different plans for this day. Many get ready for the midnight mass and offer their prayers to the almighty for prosperity and peace in their lives. Children are busy tracking Santa for their gifts and they hang the stockings. Friends come together and have parties and get together. Even some watch movies following with dinner get together. Some escape for long vacations to avoid the humdrum of daily life. Even some people organize groups who sing Christmas carols from door to door and even at public venues.
Here are some lists that one can do on a Christmas Eve:
1. Start the day by reading a Bible or visit the church to offer prayers.
2. Finish off the last minute shopping (some shopping can be kept for the last moment ……you never know you might come across some heavy discounts.)
3. Decorate the house and your dinner tables with utmost love (make best out of it…. since this day just comes once a year)
4. Do not forget to place a glass of milk and a plate of cookies for Santa he is coming all the way to fulfill your wishes (HO! HO!)
5. The stockings got to be ready or Santa won’t know where to put your gifts.
6. It is nice to drive around or have to walk around your city to see the decorations of lights. It is a great way to cheer for the festival.
7. There are many places a Christmas tree is brought to the house on Christmas Eve and then decorated. So not a bad idea to spend some quality time with your family set up the Christmas tree.
8. One must not forget to click photographs with their loved ones. This should continue till the next day so that one capture the moments forever and ever.
9. Last but not least enjoy the moments every bit of it and take ample rest.
