Christmas Eve is upon us again and now the preparations have to be made for Father Christmas’ visit. The whole of our close is lit up with displays of twinkling stars in the windows and Father Christmas on his sleigh.

In our house Christmas Eve is meticulously planned for the important visitor. My two young children aged 2 and 4 arrange the dinner table for him to have his picnic at. He is left out a glass and a bottle of brandy to warm himself up with and a box of mince pies to eat. This year we have made an extra special arrangement as he now has the choice of cranberry muffins, chocolate cornflake cakes and top hats (marshmallows in chocolate in little paper cases) My son Luke loves cooking so he has made them especially for Father Christmas. Never forget the reindeers as they work really hard, so we are leaving them out a bunch of carrots to nibble on and a bowl of water for them if they are thirsty. Usually once the table is laid out for him they are happy to go to bed.

Last year Father Christmas left their Christmas presents in their bedroom for them to open when they wake up in the morning. This however was not a success as they woke up at 2.00am and proceeded to open the presents. Luckily with all the noise they were making I managed to salvage some for later in the morning. So this year I have asked Father Christmas if he could leave them in the living room near the Christmas tree.

The plan this year is when the children wake up in the morning they will rush to wake us up and we will all head downstairs together and they will notice that Father Christmas has left his snowy footprints on the carpet. This is done by standing in a little flour, don’t worry its not too messy.

The picnic table will have the half-eaten mince pies and the carrot tops left over and a couple of bites taken out of the carrot for further effect.

Well that’s our Christmas Eve planned, I hope you all have a Happy C
hristmas.
