What typically happens on Christmas Eve?

by Aurora9

Hi everyone,

I'm developing a product for Christmas eve on 'Wacky Christmas games' that everyone can play but since I've never personally celebrated Christmas before/experienced it -- I'm having trouble writing the sales letter!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what a typical Christmas eve looks like, the kind of activities families do on that day etc?

I'd like to know how people enjoy it and what they get bored with or if the excitement fizzles out pretty fast?

I'd specifically love to know what people get bored or tired with or find too predictable on Christmas eve...

Thanks a lot!
Lakshmi

    it will depend on the country you are looking for. The way Christmas Eve is celebrated in the UK is totally different to Germany. You need to define what market you are looking at.

      In our house:

      Advance preparations for the Christmas dinner. Laying the table for the Christmas dinner. Cleaning the house ready for visitors. In the evening we put the presents round the tree. Last minute shopping locally. Visitors arriving. We eat simple food on Christmas eve ready for the big meal the next day.

      That's it really. For us it is usually a fairly quiet day - just getting ready for the day ahead.

    I (like most people) get blind drunk by about half past one and having a hangover the next day.... Good times.

    Seriously though most adults will not have time during the day to play on the internet and every child is too excited and bouncing off of the walls.

    It is probably wildly different depending on who you ask. Some time ago my answer would be different than today. Several years back my family, including my two daughters, stopped celebrating christmas completely.

      For us, Christmas Eve is when our extended family gets together to exchange gifts. We have about a dozen young kids running around and a whole bunch of adults, too.

      Trying to keep the kids busy while we eat and wait for opening gifts is quite a challenge!

      Having games we could play to keep the kids entertained would be fantastic.

      My xmas eve usually involves running about last minute, buying presents and just getting them wrapped in time to go out and have a few drinks with friends!

      No computers on xmas eve in my house!

      I feel it would be completely different for people with children, i imagine they would have everything done in advance and have plenty of time for surfing the net

        That's funny.

        Imagine your hectic eve. Now multiply that by 20. For each kid.

    Hi Lakshmi,

    Are these games specifically for small get togethers, or could it be for any Christmas celebration?

    The reason I ask is that here at home, we have 2 adults and 1 child. But, we are also having a big (about 75 people) family Christmas party on December 6th. Will your games work for both occassions?

    Every family is different, some open gifts on Christmas Eve, some on christmas morning, still others when the larger family gets together.

    Just a few things to think about.

    Sounds like fun!

    All the best,
    Michael

    As mentioned above, you need to define your market. While northern hemisphere Christmas stuff is full of cold, snow etc., we in the southern hemisphere are enjoying summer and thinking of things such as the beach, pool, outdoor games and the like.

    However, wherever you are in the world, parents are preparing Christmas presents and children can't wait to awaken to their new presents.

        For my family, Christmas eve is filled with excited anticipation. We have traditions we follow - church, traditional dinner, open 1 present, then try to make the rest of the evening go by quickly knowing that Santa comes after we're asleep. Okay, my kids are teenagers, but they like traditions.

        One thing we do is watch the Norad Santa radar on the computer so we know where he is at all times.

    You go long with the Crown Royal, fall into the tree a couple of times then mysteriously wake up beside the dog who's spent all night tearing all of the presents apart while you were passed out.

    Then on Christmas Day, search for an eBook that will help repair the marriage.

    Good times

    It also depends on the family. Some have traditions that night (things like special dinner, opening gifts, church services), some treat it like any other night and do things the next day.

    Another key point is that some people celebrate Christmas for religious reasons, some for secular reasons (Santa, gifts, parties, etc.) and some do a mix of both.
