Just wondering what traditions or new ideas you all have for this Christmas day ?    I usually get dive-bombed in bed about half five in the morning by Sophie and Tom, and their respective santa sacks!  We always sit in my bed and open their presents, lots of ooohhs and ahhhhhs, how did santa know ( Sophie gives me lots of winks, she's in on the secret now !) then go down to crack open the Bucks Fizz and I toast the day!    Then comes the start of trying to open packaging, sore fingers, lost scissors and much building, for most of the morning!  We usually spend the day in our pj's too, wearing santa hats and silly slippers, and grazing when we feel like it.                                                                                                                                                                               

Hi Nutkin,hope your feeling better.I always go for a ride christmas day [if the weathers good] no cops about so a good time for speed testing! If I get pulled and breathalised-thats OK cuz I dont drink.                                                                                                                                                                             

Christmas is gonna be completely different for me this year.

Thats a real b***er DC!  Hope you are having some celebrations on another day with family and friends?   Im spending Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Boxing day at my Aunt and Uncles...with my lovely girls...my Aunt and I will be hitting the bottle whilst they open their pressies, so dinner is always such a breeze...its the only day of the year I really drink (cos the rest of the time Im just a taxi!!)I am not worried what time the dinner goes on the table, we are always relaxed about the whole thing...have lots of silly games and LOADS of laughs...I just love to see the girls faces when they open their pressies...they are already wondering how Santa will know that we are staying there!! We often go for a walk sometime...this year Im there next year theyll be at mine probably...   WHATEVER ANYONE IS DOING, PLEASE TRY AND HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!

Spending it with two very special people in my life.. my ex in laws who I love like they were my very own parents and who love me dearly. I am a very lucky lady.                                                                                                                                                                             

You are very, very lucky, my mate Jeni is friends like that with hers                                                                                                                                                                              

I'll be merry by 1pm because its the only time of year that I drink sherry.  Me and Mum usually open the bottle while getting the veg prepared and then it dosen't seem such a slog to prepare.  I've got my best friend and her mum and my mum with the dog and budgie tagging along. (Must make sure I put the right bird in the oven though! )  All in my little flat.  Should be snug!!                                                                                                                                                                               

Microwave meal and then drink myself into insensibility. So the same as every other day really.

I don't do xmas.
