Sorry to dissapoint Spoony, but when I cropped her piccie to fit her avatar, I cut her top (albeit strapless) out of the piccie. I promise I didn't do this to make her look naked ;D Ali Title: Re: Christmas is Coming............. Post by: AwesomeAli on November 18, 2005, 02:27:31 AM Quote So what do you do for Christmas? Every year, up until this year, I have spent christmas day with my closest family. Mum, dad, brother, sister, their partners and kids, grandparents, aunts and uncles and their kids. Usually 16+ peeps for din dins. But this year, I thought: SOD IT, IM GOING TO VEGAS!! So, two weeks ago I booked it and Neil and I are staying at The Wynn Hotel and Casino for 14 glorious days over the festive period. I CAN'T BLOODY WAIT ;karabiner; Ali Title: Re: Christmas is Coming............. Post by: Trace on November 18, 2005, 07:22:58 AM My two eventually wake up, open their pressies, wreck the house for an hour or two. Their Dad picks them up to take them to his mum's, and I saunter across the road to my mates house, eat a massive dinner, give my apologies, walk home and fall asleep on the couch till 8pm-ish when the kid's come home with even more
Only problem is that this year ex-outlaw has decided she isn't cooking Xmas Dinner, and now my Ex is panicking what he's going to do!!! I AM NOT doing it! lol Title: Re: Christmas is Coming............. Post by: charmaine on November 18, 2005, 08:27:43 AM Definately not in the noddy Snoopy :)
Title: Re: Christmas is Coming............. Post by: Rod Paradise on November 18, 2005, 09:57:14 AM I'm spending Christmas with my parents & my wee sister.
I'll be the mug cooking the Xmas dinnner (which I'll start preparing on the 23rd) Starter hot smoked salmon Deboned Turkey, with sage, onion & sausage stuffing Roast tatties (roasted in goose fat) Cheese & chive mash Roast Parsnips Carrots cooked in orange juice (this really makes a difference to carrots, well worth a try) & in the chef - 1 bottle Cairn'o'Mohr bramble & oak leaf wine :D Sis can do the sweet. All washed down at the end with a large Old methusalem 15 year old Cuban dark rum. 8) And that's me accumulated enough brownie points that I can live it large when I go home till the summer & I do the folks a gourmet barbeque.

A few years back I was working as a contractor in a 24/7/365 manned NMC down outside Warrington. All other guys were from the surrounding area, so I ended up doing 8am to 10pm - alone in the NMC - frozen chicken dinner for Xmas meal. Had to call the boozer to ensure I got in (doors shut at 10) - got there and the landlady had saved me a Xmas dinner from her familly do :D. Ended up in a party in the pub till 5:00am :D.

Title: Re: Christmas is Coming............. Post by: Graham C on November 18, 2005, 04:02:35 PM Christmas is a bit of a chore for me at the moment. My missus normally goes to her Aunties who has her side of the family there. I normally go to my folks house who normally have just my Grandparents there. When my Grandfather passed away a couple of years ago, Christmas became a bit boring with just the 4 of us (my folks, Nan and me) but I feel bad leaving them going to my aunties-in-laws so I had to do dinner round my parents then go to the other christmas around 6pm which ment no booze for me till then.
This year we're at my parents then we're all off to her aunties - again no booze for me till late on :( Cant wait till next year though, our daugher will appreciate it then, she's not that fussed at the moment, maybe she will be by xmas but probably not (she's only 15 months) Title: Re: Christmas is Coming.............

Title: Re: Christmas is Coming............. Post by: suzanne on November 18, 2005, 09:19:41 PM My Christmas will be a bit better than last year I hope. Left everything to the last minute as usual, so I was still wrapping presents into the wee small hours. Didn't hear the kids getting up at the crack of dawn and was woken up by my son saying santa had left him the wrong PS2 game :(
Christmas Day is usually very quiet in my house, just me, the kids and the soaps. Boxing Day is when the family all get together for Christmas Dinner, we tried this out a couple of years ago and it works a treat. The kids can play with their new toys rather than being dragged out whinging and they get MORE pressies on Boxing day. This year I will try and be more organized and have pressies wrapped BEFORE Christmas Eve HAHAHA Now where is that Argos book.... |
