Looking back now we did have some good fun the majority of the day. I was just being very grumpy last night.
Bit I am still all for taking down the Christmas stuff today. |

My eldest moaned that my Xmas dinner was so nice and why can’t I cook like that all the time ! I was dreading the day but it turned out ok , I go to my mums and cook there . We actually all ended up with tears of laughter as we were trying to play guess that tune on a kazoo - who knew kazoo playing was so hard !

Exactly .
Christmas is as complicated or chilled as you want it to be . We too had a lovely day, lots of good food , good company, some nice presents and rounded off with Call the Midwife and Mary Poppins returns . Even when my son was small I’ve always done the big roast/nice presents approach and boggled at the stressing that goes on. |

We’ve had a lovely day. 15 family members at my brothers house. Total lovely chaos. Presents everywhere. Lots of food. Silly quiz on YouTube. Just a perfect day.
Last time I had to cook at my house I just ordered the lot from Morrison’s and put it in the oven. It doesn’t need to be an overly complicated meal. I just love having everyone together. |

You’ve hit the nail on the head right there , what we learnt over the years is it’s far too much for children these days . They get completely overwhelmed by it all , the build up the excitement . They get overtired by the constant activities at school in the run up and then bam thrown into a room with a pile of presents where they just don’t know what to look at first . They don’t actually look at what they’ve got until days after.
Scale it back as you say , play some quiet games with them and they will relax more . A colouring book and pencils work a treat while you are cooking or a dvd as a present . Kids want time with families and really don’t need loads of pressies ( look at the box present list from floridatilly , that little face sums up Christmas for me ) . Don’t beat yourself up either , we’ve all been there but you learn the hard way. I’ve lost count how many presents ended up on eBay that never got played with. I hope you Have a lovely Boxing Day with your girls and take it easy x

No and yes. No because we had such a lovely day yesterday - nieces and nephews were great fun, food was good, no drama and everyone liked their presents. Yes because today is pre-travel day! Off to Orlando tomorrow
