Stew Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Bah Humbugs look away now - this is a MOAN free post! Ok, all things Christmas in here please, lets get ready for the big day together! First thing for me, I'm working on Christmas day, doing a 12 hour dayshift in the office... alone! That won't spoil things though, I'll take a bottle of Shloer in with me make a cheese and pickle sandwich for lunch! What gets you in the mood for Christmas and what plans you got for the big day? I'm looking forward to watching Elf soon! Quote
stanski Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 This Christmas is creeping up fast for me and Lucy - to be honest not really thinking about it just January and baby Zed's arrival! (Tarmac is in the same boat I guess?) Starting Christmas shopping this week (bit late for me this year) but determined to be organised (although not as well as you Stew since your all set ) Getting the tree in a weeks time and Costco food supplies too Looking forward to it and as usual not focusing on the commercial side or I will get fed up but if I see yet another perfume ad for J'Dore or whatever its called!!

Husky Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Stew is that bottle of "shloer" just that or will it have "additions" ;) Always have a very family based christmas and we have kept it just the same as when we were kids. We all take our xmas stockings down to breakfast and open them, taking turns. Then after that we all head upstairs to the tree where theres normally LOADS or pressies me and my brother pick a side each and start dishing them out, we are very civilised and take turns so we can see what we each get then they all get organised, a piccy taken for the album and then we do what we want for the rest of the day. usually get a game of scrabble in somewhere though then have xmas dinner later.

mbs Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Quite Christmas Day with some good wine preparing for the invasion by my six grandchildren all aged under 10 on Boxing Day Quote
martinmac Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I am off for Christmas this year The day starts with the usual pressies around the tree then down to the village square for carols with the brass band. There is then time for a quick pint in the local before coming back to get the food ready. Venison, Grouse and Beef. Quote
