One of the best parts of Xmas
Anyway – traditions can be so much fun
Especially when you have children.
You get to muck about and play with magic and fairy lights and glitter…
Here’s one:
The Xmas Express
(shamelessly inspired by The Polar Express)
Get ready for some serious SQUEALING!!!
Ok, so we are on the final week countdown so this is how it goes….
Childrens Bedtime (now it’s dark at 4:15) is going to be half an hour earlier.
When the children finish protesting and finally get into bed
THEY FIND A GOLDEN TICKET!
The Golden ticket is for the “Christmas Express” (i.e. the family car)
Be good to tinselify the car. but then we are shamelessly camp.
Out of bed and all pile into the car which you have ready with hot chocolate and popcorn.
(any of the chain coffee shops will probably give you some spare cups with lids… but don’t tell them we said that)
And off for a Xmas treat in dressing gowns.
(The children – you are probably best in normal clothes in case you have to talk to a grown up at any point!)
Maybe:
- Off to find the trashiest Xmas light displays
(you can Google your best local displays)
- Any outdoor ice rinks for a quick skate – yes even in jammies and dressing gowns
- Visit to an evening Santa’s Grotto
- Grandmas house for a Christmas Story
- A little carol singing to pre-warned neighbours
- Christmas cinema if its not too late
- Evening Xmas service
- Costa for some babyccinos
A little treat for a few minutes (or a couple of hours
if you don’t have to get up early)
for the final run up Christmas
And some delicious Christmassy lay-ins.
And….
let’s step up the exercise a little – see if you can get this done 2 or 3 times this week)
We have cheekily chopped out Level 1 from
our
4 Level Gorgeous Abs DVD
for you to tone your tummy ready to hit the Christmas parties.
It’s not in HD like the DVD, but definitely good enough to get your tummy aching.
Happy Ticket Hiding…and Planking
Lots of Love
