00:00 your traditional Christmas Day routine if you have one?
00:03 Ooh, I don't have a traditional routine but I think lazy morning definitely, get up quite late.
00:11 Chocolate for breakfast, obviously. And then normally we make a Christmas dinner but this year we're actually going to a pub and having it cooked for us.
00:21 So it's a bit different this year but I'm really looking forward to it.
00:24 Yeah, yeah. And what about the evenings?
00:26 Again, just probably watching Christmas films with me, my husband, the dog, that's it.
00:31 Traditional, probably wake up around about 8 o'clock. No young children so it's as if there's banging at the bedroom door saying Santa Claus has been.
00:43 So down at about 8 o'clock, open some presents, then start preparing for Christmas lunch.
00:56 So there's about seven of us, eight of us at the moment so it's a pretty busy lunch.
01:03 So yeah, it's basically just preparing everything, getting everything in place.
01:10 Yeah, yeah. And what about in the after dinner, into the evening?
01:13 After dinner it's usually card games or something like that. It's as if we sit down and watch anything special on TV.
01:24 So it's just usually a bit of family time together. So yeah, it's nice.
01:29 What is your traditional Christmas Day routine if you have one?
01:34 I wouldn't say I'm a very traditional person. I tend to just, I guess it's a bit boring, I just spend it with friends, family, the people I'm closest to. People that make me happy.
01:46 Yeah, that's what the day's all about I suppose, isn't it?
01:49 Absolutely, yeah.
