Usually go out in local town on Christmas eve late afternoon for a big session with family and close friends, end up having a curry in the evening. Then few more drinks with pals. Then on Christmas day usually get woken up about fucking 7ish by my youngest brothers, by 12ish I'll be at the local pub again with my dad and uncle, then get home for dinner and chill and relax for the rest of the day with the family! Love it.
Normally love Christmas day. We wake up at around 8 and open the presents. Have a quick breakfast and then head to the pub for a couple. Come home for dinner then crash out.
This will be the first year without my Nan so everyone is dreading Christmas. Going out for dinner instead of having it in the house.
Usually kids up at the crack o dawn then building bloody toys and finding batteries for a couple of hours (for the kids not the good lady) - love it though... Best thing about Xmas is the fact you can crack open a bottle at 10AM in front of the family and nobody bats an eyelid :-)
Managed to swerve her mum and dads as we're seeing them boxing day so we have the day to ourselves. Up, shower, eat, prezzies, eat, booze, eat, sleep. Talk of a bike ride but that seems fanciful
Not looking forward to Christmas Day to be honest having recently split from the Mrs,so won't get to see all the excitement of my 9 year old opening her presents. Going to call in the morning to see her and then go to see my other daughters and then off to my sisters in Cheltenham for dinner and a few drinks.
Full on BBQ here in Oz. 12kilo lamb on the spit, king prawns, scallops, the works. Been here for 12 years now and it never really seems like christmas for me tbh. Mind you i do have 3 sons under 5 years old, so christmas is fun for other reasons.
Up at sparrowfart with the nippers, presents, snap, mother-in-law, sister-in-law & nipper arrive, more presents, drink, parents arrive, more presents, more drinking, I'm copping forthe cooking this year due to the missus being heavily pregnant, more drinking, clean up, crap tele & more drinking, wii sesh with the bairns, more drinking..pass out..
Get home 23rd, all my shopping is done, a couple of pressies to wrap. Spend Xmas Eve with my daughter, take her to see Santa etc, she's 8 and up to now still believes. She will be with me Xmas Eve night, and will no doubt wake me at silly o'clock Xmas Day morning. Watch her open all her presents then play games with her. Get the Xmas Day atire on and take her round to my ex's parents where I will spend the rest of the day. Out with a few mates Xmas Day night and of to the football (Utd v Wigan) Boxing Day as football and out on the lash on Boxing Day is tradition ain't it.
Wake up, open presents with my mom and sister, usual stuff, have a big breakfast, infact i may cook one this year.....Then go and see the mrs and she'll drop me at my nan and grandads for my dinner there or the pub if its earlier than dinner time....Then the usual, sit around eating and drinking youself silly.......Love christmas.
First Time In 2 Years The Wife's Not Had To Work Xmas Day.. So Up & Open The Pressies.. Mid Morming Visit The Parents.. Off Out 11.30 For A Few Beers With The Lads While The Wife's Slaving Away.. Head Home For Xmas Dinner.. Then A Quiet Afternoon In Front Of The TV With The Cat..
Working till 11 Christmas eve, hopefully get a early finish so can have a few before last orders, up early with my little brothers. Then round my grandmas with all our new stuff, then to the pub for a few then home for dinner. Top day!
