And So This Is Xmas...

AlexC

2 days to go and I’ve just finished putting the tree up. Music blasting. Crawling about the living room floor cursing the lack of available four bars. Anyway - as a person what joined this ‘ere forum earlier in the year I will take this opportunity to wish all you pleasant pluckers a happy Christmas and hope you have a good one.
Let’s see how long this thread can last without - bah humbug! / a debate on the merits of Christmas time (or whatever you choose to call it / a moan about how much this is going to cost us!
Cheers, people. Have a drink on me.

Thanks @AlexC have a good one!

I'm well into the Christmas spirit today, got 10 days off the treadmill and looking forward to spending some time playing guitar, listening to music and watching telly. I'm slightly sloshed and probably will be for most of Christmas.

Merry Christmas Alex.

First time in 7 years I get Christmas Eve off (because we don't open the shop on a Sunday) so I'm taking the kids to winter wonderland and then cinema tomorrow. May have an alcoholic drink later.

Merry Christmas to you all.

OK.

It's now past 9pm on 23rd December.

We have opened a bottle of fizzy stuff.

It's fair to say that Christmas has now started.  Previously, wishes of "Happy Christmas" were returned with "and a Happy December to you too".  But it's Christmas Eve in a few hours, so let Christmas begin.

Apart from all those people who work in retail and have to deal with the panicking public for a few more hours yet.

Got my son, daughter and her boyfriend staying with us this year, plus my stone deaf ancient mother. Oh well, 3 out of 4 ain’t bad. Daughter brought her new Nintendo Switch with her and we had a hilarious time last night playing milk the cow, fake draw etc. Really good fun. 

Merry Xmas you lot.

My Christmas Day is today, my teenage son is arriving soon and spends the day with me then back to his mothers tomorrow morning. It’s great for him, he gets 2 roast dinners and two lots of presents to open. For me I’m working 25th-29th.

Am cooking with the kids this morning for the boxing day buffet, my son has made a chocolate cake and decimated the kitchen!  my daughter is making a victoria sponge, I cooked a smoked gammon yesterday and have glazed it with jack daniels, mustard powder cloves and syrup with some orange zest.  Just about to start on the coronation chicken and italian meats platter.  Can't get any figs anywhere though - first world problems and all that.

Hope everyone has a good one!

We started to do similar for my oldest son, he'd come up Christmas day night to presents off relatives but get the ones off us on boxing Day so I got a "Christmas eve" with him. My step daughter who lives with me got the same, and even though I've not seen him now since he was 10 years old, the tradition continues.
