Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi, this is my first time skiing, going with hubby and 2 kids aged 13 and 9, have got all the suits, thermals, goggles, gloves etc, what else do i need?
What does everyone wear at night time do they dress up on xmas night etc or is it just jeans. We are staying at the Rila and on xmas night they have a meal etc, please can someone help as i do not want to look out of place either too dressed up or not dressed enough. typical woman worrying about these things................
Do i need a helmet for my 9 year old, if so can you get them there as i can not find any here in wales. Someone has told me you only need to wear your thermals under your suit, is this right as i am trying to get everything sorted and i am not sure what to take..........
Thanks
