Those of you with children will know how the hours can drag by on Christmas Eve! So here’s some great ideas to transform it into a wonderful family evening where the minutes just fly by. New cosy PJs, dressing gowns or slippers all round are a great way to start.

If the floors are cold in the old moulin, mum’s feet will stay snug in cosy sheepskin slippers, carrying sleepy little ones off to bed. When Dad has to sneak the new bikes in from the woodshed, he’ll be glad of the warmth of a chunky knit.

All ready for bed, girls will adore a snug fleece robe while petrol-head boys can stay warm with a Top Gear robe. And what could be cuter for baby’s first Christmas than a pretty pramsuit if it turns nippy?

Distract them from asking that question by getting the little grey cells of the whole family working over a board game. Test nerves and skill with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire or see who really has will power when it comes to Don’t Laugh.
