Merry Christmas Eve all!!
My excitement got the best of me and I couldn't sleep until like 3 am but woke up at around 6. Feeling full of energy preparing the appetizers for today and watching a Charlie Brown movie. My happiness meter is on EXTREME!

Ordered five bottles of craft beer for my bro-in-law from O’Brien’s online offie. Had it sent to my parent’s house and only got home today. Thought the box seemed a bit light... only two of them are in there! I’m totally broke and it’s too late to rectify this now. Present to him looks so stingy.
Over my strop. Will buy some nice beers for bro-in-law in the local town today and get a refund for the missing items after Christmas. He shouldn’t suffer because of the fook up!

Evening elves. Gutted to see it's not been a great day for you Loughc. Hope it's improved by now and if not I hope you're surrounded by people you love.
We've had a lovely day here. After church we took our in laws out for a special lunch - it's dad in law's birthday - which was a real treat. I had prawn cocktail, lamb shank and raspberry bavarois.
Home to make turkey, ham, stuffing (we're not hosting - we just wanted some for sandwiches!), cucumber pickles and chocolate brownies. We're going to my husband's sister tomorrow and bringing cheese, prosecco, brownies and a range of home made pickles and chutneys.
Now we're sitting under a blanket in front of the fire. When the fullness from lunch wears off we'll be tucking into some amazing sandwiches with tea and King cheese and onion crisps.
Much love and Christmas blessings to all of you. 0 -

Currently cleaning the house from top to bottom....can't wait to be finished!!! We've both been pretty unwell lately so the housework was neglected for a while!
Am wondering if any of you have used a slow cooker for a ham before? I'm worried I'll ruin it but on the other hand it could be amazing. I'd literally just be putting ham in, no brown sugar or glaze etc. Any one here tried it before?
This could be way too late but I've cooked bacon joints in the cooker and they've come out melt-in-the-mouth delicious! Well worth trying it, especially if it saves you tomorrow. Use a timer socket so you can let it cook while you sleep and not have to worry about switching it off
Kids asleep, presents organised and ready to go under the tree, digging into the Caffreys Snowballs (they never disappoint!), glass of baileys, watching Miracle on 34th Street on E4+1. Happy Christmas everyone!0 -

I was hoping to get some this year but could only see them for €10 (and I wasn't paying that), thinking that maybe I'm not missing out!freshpopcorn wrote: »We just opened out box of Lemons Seasons Greetings. Very disappointing, No iced caramels, fruit jellies, hard fruit bars, coconut macaroons!
I got a box of Kimberley Elite yesterday in Dunnes for €10. Expensive but a treat for me, we never get them, only at Xmas so don't mind too much paying the €10 for them.
Going to throw on a movie soon, trying to find a comedy, though. Have seen plenty of Xmas movies so want to find one we haven't watched this year
LoughC delighted to hear your day is better and you're enjoying your evening
Hope everyone here is enjoying their evening/night 0 -

Thanks a million! Going to put it on nice and early tomorrow so it'll be ready for dinner time, about 6.30pm. Have a smaller smoked ham that I'll do on the hob. Can't wait for Christmas dinner now
We've just polished off a tin of Cadbury's biscuits and we're currently watching the batman lego movie.0 -

After a busy few days it’s been great to just be at home today with the family relaxing watching Christmas movies... Frozen may have snuck in there too.
Hope everyone enjoys the last hour before Christmas and enjoys the big day tomorrow! I wish you all a fantastic day, good/great presents and very delicious Christmas dinners. 0 -
