I have got my Xbox 360 premium package ready for my Christmas present off the missus.

The question is what exactly will i need to be able to get my live account up and running on Christmas Day?
I dont want to be sat thinking if only the shops were open i could buy this or that and be able to use on the day.I will buy ready in advance.

Thanks for your help anybody in advance.
