Christmas Eve should be an easy one.. all you have to do is say "Santa won't come until you're asleep...." they actually want to go to bed (doesn't mean they'll sleep though!!!)

you can do the leaving carrots out for Rudolph, and cookies and milk / whisky for Santa, and hanging up the stockings......

I'm going to miss it this year... working night shift..... ah well........ but I'll be home to see mine open their presents in the morning.....

good luck
