Get Through Christmas Eve Day/Night

Does Christmas Eve ever feel longer, more boring, and more miserable than every other day leading up to Christmas? If so, simply follow these steps to have a fast, fun, Christmas Eve to get to the real holiday. This article has 3 parts of Christmas Eve to keep you busy - morning, daytime, and nighttime. Follow this schedule and have a successful Christmas Eve!

Morning

 * 1) On Christmas Eve morning, you'll probably be wishing that it is one day from now. Don't worry, that's normal, especially if you are getting something really special that you already know about for Christmas. In the morning, I suggest watching the news related to Christmas or a Christmas movie, or even Christmas YouTube videos. Other similar articles are saying to try to ignore Christmas and be a Scrooge, but it is the season! Instead, embrace Christmas. You only have one more day to prepare.
 * 2) Eat a good, big breakfast. Some examples are pancakes, eggs, toast, fruit, or even hot chocolate. Stay in your pajamas and relax as you get into the Christmas spirit and eat some delicious food.
 * 3) Once you've relaxed, clean your house, unless it's spotless already. Don't forget about where your Christmas tree is, because you need to clean that area really well.
 * 4) For getting ready, I reccomend skipping showering and doing that at night, since that is when you are the most anxious. Just put on some comfy clothes and do your hair cute, and go do something.

The Day

 * 1) In advance, I recommend planning something fun for the day with a friend or your family. Maybe go ice skating, or last minute gift shopping at the mall. Or maybe you just want to stay home - in this case, continue cleaning while jamming out to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You", bake some cookies for Santa, or make/wrap those last minute presents.
 * 2) Do something Christmassy, but don't sit there staring at a countdown watching the hours. Instead, try to embrace the Christmas spirit, and if it helps you, remind yourself that every second you do something Christmas is getting closer.

Nighttime

 * 1) For some people, night is the hardest, but for some, it's the most fun and festive of all. Have a nice meal with your family, finish wrapping (of course!) and if you're into this kind of stuff (girls only), have a spa night. Even if you don't want to go all out with face masks and mani-pedis, at least take a shower to be clean for Santa.
 * 2) Get into bed early (don't want to scare off Santa!), and read a Christmas book about Christmas Eve or watch part of a movie. Most people want to not be excited, therefore they can't sleep, but I think it's possible to be excited and anxious while sleeping.

Tips

 * Don't bother your parents with complaining.

Warnings

 * Don't peek at your presents if you can't fall asleep for hours, your parents will get mad and you probably won't be as happy and excited in the morning.
