GK I was in hospital on Christmas Eve many years ago, having just had DD1 the day before, and the nurses walked through the corridors in their cloaks carrying lanterns and singing carols. Lovely!
Have a lovely time with your DGC! 
My son was born on Christmas Eve 38 years ago this year. I was in the final stretch of my labour when a young nurse came in and asked whether I would mind if a choir stood outside the door and sang - at that stage I didn't care who did what, when and where 
so they stood just at the door and sang "Unto Us a Son is Born".
He arrived at about 8:30 p.m. my labour having started properly at about 7 p.m.!
He and his wife and 5 month old baby (our first grandchild) will all be with us on Christmas Eve for birthday celebrations.
A week tonight if I've forgotten anything it will have to stay forgotten and we'll do without. I doubt we'll get away from work before 4.
Yes Nonu for us we will be with our 2 young GSs, my DS and DinL at the Children's Xmas Service in their village. I am looking forward to the children getting over excited and still believing in Father Christmas.
However not everyone is as fortunate as us, they could be on their own, or far from their GCs or unwell. So I am going to be grateful for what I have got whilst I have got it.
Sorry if I am putting a dampener on things but many people are lonely and sad at this time of year. Let's hope they log onto GN and I have no doubt they will get a friendly response from us Gransnetters.
Happy Christmas.
A week tonight, twill be wonderful. All the family round !!
