    :D:D:D ^^^ can't stop laughing at that gif!

    By Valentine's EN would be in throes of a complete breakdown.

    EN you fabulous man you.

    Thanks so much for giving me daily Christmas spirit! I'm usually a severe Grinch but following this along has seriously got me in the groove this year. Amen.

    Also what the frick do people do in Xmas Eve? This is the hardest question.

    EN thank you for this wonderful game.

    I don't know what I'm going to do next Monday in work as I wait for my laptop to turn on :(

    We never had any traditions growing up, so have no idea of anything myself.

    I just said what I actually do on Christmas Eve even though it won't sheep.

    Question 24: What might you traditionally do on Christmas Eve?

    6pm deadline as always, good luck!

    26/34 answers in :)

    More importantly though, I'm two Mimosas in :p

    Me too. Honesty probably won’t pay off :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,516 ✭✭✭aaronjennings


    It's been said a lot, but for me this was the worst question of the whole month. I managed to think of eight things, none if which I'm confident of

    One last time - OK folks, time's up!

    A lot more answers than I'd anticipated here, we had...

    Photo-2019-12-24-02-57-21-PM.jpg

    There were two answers heading up the pack though, find out which in a moment (just in from visiting neighbours so a little disorganised, I'm not dragging this out deliberately!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,576 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    One last advent breakdown for your all :p
    This has been great fun EN, thank you for running it, you've done an amazing job...

    That said, you're an absolute prick for coming up with this question :D

    I've thought of loads, and all seem as unlikely as the next
    Last one :(

    thank fekk, can give my brain a rest.
    Mixed feelings about this question. It's the last so I'm sad becuase it all ends with this one. But, sliding down that table has been torturous so finally hitting where I land will be a relief.
    Flipping hell EN!!! I don't know, I assume people go to bed so that Santa stops by!?!
    Been racking my brain all day and honestly this is so so hard!
    In true Advent Sheep style you sign off with a bang...I don't know what I'm going to get worked up about in the mornings now once this is gone.
    ...shopping? Wrapping? Drinking? Baking? Collecting the turkey?
    Oh dear, was hoping for a strong finish but I'm gonna ace this one. :( Our family's Christmas Eve tradition is ordering a Chinese but I don't think that will sheep here.

    Last minute shopping? Christmas Eve mass? Put food out for Santa? Light Christmas candles? Ugh.....
    Probably go to mass, wrap presents, last minute shopping, or drink...
    There's a very obvious sheep for this one and anyone who doesn't give this answer has failed to understand the most important part of Christmas... Yippee-ki-yay Motherf**kers!!! My Xmas Eve Tradition is Watching Die Hard
    Tempted to just right out state 'Get smashed drunk and fall asleep under the Christmas tree'

    BUT THAT WAS ONLY ONE TIME!!
    Every year I say I should do this. Every year, I don’t :D

    Go to mass
    One last agonising decision. Do we go with hanging stockings, the ham sangwitch, the washing of the windows, midnight mass, wrapping santa presents, a Bailey's at bedtime, the neighbours party, dash to M & S for a reduced price fancy dessert??

    I'm nowhere near winning but still competitive til the end....

    Going to mass and going to the pub should be grouped together

    And as it's Christmas, two wooden spoons for Deja Boo :)
