For most of us, the first half of Christmas Eve is usually spent running around town for last minute presents. After that is the pay-off, time to relax and get in the festive spirit.
In the evening, if you’re not down at your local, or at mass, then you’re probably going to be catching up on some quality TV.
Crack open that tin of roses, munch on a mince pie or have a glass of mulled wine.
