Really looking forward to this year apart from going to the outlaws for Xmas Dinner for the 15th year in a row. ZZZZZZZZ..

With me being free till then I'd imagine it will be a mix of being lazy and the odd visit to the pub.

Fulham is a write off for me. We go up the outlaws for Xmas dinner, my parents xmas night so then we have our own "Xmas Day" in our own house on boxing day.

I wouldnt mind so much but we started going to the outlaws when her father left her mother 15 years ago but shes been remarried 6 years its not like shes going to be lonely!!! Does my head in, especially now weve got 2 kids.

Plus both my brother in laws and my teenage nephew are into computing and gaming and not really sporty at all. We dont have much in common. I usually feck off in the conservatory for a snooze after dinner.

Mainly running the children around to various sports christmas parties up till next weekend, 3 netball Christmas parties, 1 rugby and 2 swimming club ones

then all that ends for Christmas and i can relax a little

Got a all weekend swimming Gala this weekend ( wanted to do some shopping, but been dumped with the Gala, hey ho, if i didnt do it, 27 children from our club would get scratched and not be able to swim )

Going out one of the week nights the week before Christmas with the family, as i work for myself, i get no christmas do, so they take me out, it stops me moaning about it all the time :hehe:, most prob Chiquto's

Home For Christmas day, then down the sis-in-laws for Boxing day ( after watching star wars in the morning for the 2nd time )
My mum is down my brothers this christmas, so she will most prob come up the 27th ( though just had some bad news about my brother, so she might come on Christmas eve ?? ? )
Panto on NYE morning, then friends coming up from Cornwall to stay with us for NYE and then a few days

this was a turning point for us, when My oldest was 2 we were up my mums for Christmas day, took all the gifts up, all went well, tree looked great, surrounded by gifts, then Boxing day it came to loading up the car, i couldnt get it all in, so had to leave some and drive up in a few days, i thought sod that, so now my mum comes down to me or my brother, mainly me, she spent 8 years on the bounce here, its no drama, though as she gets older my patience does wear thin, she will fall asleep in the evening, Snore loudly ( that winds me up ) then wake up as we are of to bed, and announce, Oh i will stay down a little, i am not tired ( no sht, you have slept all evening ) then clatter around for 2 hours downstairs, bless her

Family Christmas Day. Got 3 solid hours kip penciled in for after dinner. I not doing the washing up this year missed my kip doing it last year. It's gonna be good.

Still no fakin XMAS smilies :shrug:

Christmas work do for the kids next Wednesday followed by the work p*ss up on Thursday night.
Fly back to UK on Friday, no time to catch the Hull game (Bah humbug), family and friends to see.
Back to Switzerland.
Struggle through the final week of work before starting 10 days off from the 22nd.
Entertain my mother and step-dad for Christmas.
Then head up the mountains during Christmas week.

Worst thing is my brother in law is a ST holder as well, but he’s already caved

NY Bluebirds piss-up on Monday
Hosting a party on the 16th
Work party on the 20th
Family party on the 24th
Giant annual family get together on the 26th

I also have to pop in for an hour on Boxing Day to sort out the Welsh Grand National programme, and Ffos Las have racing on the 2nd January so I will be in on NYD sorting the programme for that too.

The downside of living 5 minutes away from the office :angry:

Cant grumble too much though I break up on the 22nd and apart from those 2 days popping in for an hour im off until Thursday 4th.

I negotiated 2 extra days off for coming in an hour at a time on the 26th and NYD.

There's no contest is there.

Sport all day, the one local puts decent grub in hot meat etc, bands and little events with djs on depending on what you like. Cracking.

Stephen"s day usual, follow the matches, 5 match accumulator then a good few pints

My aged mother lives on her own in a tower block, and she would love to come to our house on Christmas day. She's allergic to cats, so we usually buy a kitten around the 15th of December to keep her at bay. We put it in a sack and throw it in the river once the festivities are over.

Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world...yeah, right.Attachment 1990

I hate Christmas , it's a pain in the arse

Different if you have kids

I will be staying in watching DVDs

According to Sir Isaac Newton, two xmas puddings exert an attractive gravitational force towards each other which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force between a pair of 2lb puddings is thus a quarter of that between a pair of 4lb puddings, but diminishes as they are moved further apart on the table.

The more you stay indoors the less opportunities there are for festive frolics. A self-imposed fondle-free Yuletide is perhaps wise though as magistrates will take a dim view of further indiscretions.

New Years Day is my favourite.
New year begins. Hair of the dog first and a nice brunch, out for a walk, head for the pub on the way back - see absolutely everybody, pub quiz, live music, drink steadily all afternoon but not over the top, staying merry. Home or round to friends for some supper and night cap and more fun.

Potentially a great day (and usually is) that has no pressure to 'get it right' or run around entertaining, nor conform to expectations etc.

I wont be working on the 2nd ;)

Last Christmas my wife bought our four year old grandson a jigsaw to keep him occupied while we went to the pub. However, when we returned we found that he had managed to plug it in and cut several of his fingers off.

Good times.
