Enlighten your Eve with your loved ones by doing simple happy things
From leaving cookies for Santa to embellishing Christmas trees at home with attractive ornaments such as socks, garlands, dot lights, floral picks, and ribbons. Christmas Eve always makes a magical night like no other.
Doing preparations before the ample red guy comes in the night to bless you with your desired or what you always wished for.
Every family has its custom tradition and way to celebrate Christmas and make everlasting memories. From cooking delicious meals to serving and hosting guests, receiving bottles of wines or chocolates as a gift.
I’ve gathered some great and unique ideas for you to make your Christmas Eve even splendid than before:
- Give your neighbors a cookie surprise for Christmas:
Christmas cookies are one of the yummiest things. Let’s celebrate this with it, give your neighbors and street friends a gift of cookies made with sweet and sugary love with delicious toppings of jelly, bounties, crushed Oreos, or sprinkles.
2. Create DIY Christmas cards:
Making DIY cards is so much fun with kids, and if you’re single, you can always make for your grandparents or loved ones, of course! And hand out to them on the lovely Eve.
Creating it with vibrant colors and using glitters on top would look best if you’re much creative and imaginative.
3. Write a letter to Santa:
Santa is always humble and wise and appreciates chocolates, milky cookies, and candies he gets, but he’ll appreciate much more on your personalized letter to him.
4. Taking the same pose picture every year:
Well, we love taking pictures now and then, but what if we take pictures every year of the same pose with the same background?
It can be a wonderful memory while you see yourself growing every year. Christmas Eve can leave you with a persistent and everlasting record of changing you and your family over the past years.
It can be a visualized presentation of watching your loved ones, and you grow.
5. Have a fish feast:
If you host guests every Christmas Eve, you should make dishes from fish while keeping the religious demeanor of fasting meat and fish!
Try some sautéed fish in salt or a steam fish, and you can even try sushi out for dinner; I know you’ll gonna love it. Consume it with a sour and sour sauce or a mayo one!
It can be fun for you and your guest family to enjoy dinner at your place with different cuisine choices instead of the regular one!
6. Visit old–age homes and Orphans:
It would be best if you visited these places on Christmas day. They are the one who needs you the most because they have no one to celebrate with them, then you should be the one!
Take some cookies, chocolates, or gifts for them and spend at least a few hours with them, talk to them and make them realize that they aren’t alone. Laugh with them and tell them some silly jokes to make their day, and you’re too.
7. Go to the street and city tour:
Going out with your friends and family on Christmas eve is one of the best things to do. See the lighting and decoration, which have been done in the streets, malls, houses, corners, and parks — watching people dancing on streets, meeting and greeting each other, selling cookies and candies on the corner of the road.
And realize how blessed you are to see this on Christmas Eve and celebrate this with your friends and family, and spread the love!
8. Play the white elephant gift game:
Some people adore opening gifts on this Eve, while other host a gathering party and organize Santa Appearance to distribute gifts.
The white elephant gift game combines this both, i.e., each guest brings a gift (Unnamed), and it can be kept along with other’s gift, selected and opened each and it’ll be theirs.
