This is my own story in question in order to tell here. I start by opening presents two nights earlier. The next morning we eat a quick festive breakfast and take a timed walk as well. Then later on Xmas eve in the afternoon we finish opening the rest too. Best wishes.

It is fun. After that we have a early dinner of a few mince pies, hot fresh tomato soup and homemade hamburgers with cups of white wine. On Xmas morning we eat half of the roast chicken and stuffing at breakfast. For lunch and dinner there is mainly leftover soup, stuffing, fresh fruit and chicken with white wine. We play card and board games. We catch up on a festive film. And we sing carols. Then we write poems.

I don’t make a traditional meal anymore these days. On Boxing Day after a early lunch at ten we go to the sales for two hours. Then we have a nap and shower. By half past four we will have also eaten a hearty dinner. It consists of any wrapped up leftovers. Usually this is the last of the roast chicken, tomato soup, hamburgers and fresh fruit. Again wine is served.

Comment on How to Make S’mores (UK Recipe!) by Marija Kuncaitis https://almosttheweekend.com/how-to-make-smores-uk/#comment-20460 https://almosttheweekend.com/?p=1327#comment-20460 You should probably provide the recipe for making Graham Crackers. It is a different flavour (and texture) to digestives. Brits won’t truly understand the delight that is a s’more unless they try an authentic one. Digestives just don’t cut it.

Comment on How To Relax at the Weekend When You Have Kids by Peter - Nail It https://almosttheweekend.com/how-to-relax-at-the-weekend-when-you-have-kids/#comment-20030 https://almosttheweekend.com/?p=1255#comment-20030 Thank you for sharing this. As a mom, I always have a hard time being alone, having a space, and treating myself, but I learned that we all need to care for ourselves. If we tend to drain physically, mentally, and emotionally, our kids will suffer too, so self-care is essential.

Comment on The Easy Way To Spring Clean Your Home In A Weekend by Happy Hiller https://almosttheweekend.com/spring-clean-your-home-in-a-weekend/#comment-19792 https://almosttheweekend.com/?p=1060#comment-19792 Such a great article! As for vents—don’t forget to vacuum inside the return vents, not just the covers. A lot of dust settles right at the opening, and it often gets overlooked. I use the hose attachment on my vacuum after removing the grille, and it really helps the air flow better and keeps the new filter from clogging up too quickly.
