PsychocAndy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Same as last year, in my house with the in laws visiting. Hopefully this year I'll be able to attend rather than shitting the bed with the flu and opening my presents, 2 days later to find only toffees left in my Quality Street and 5 After Eights in a box, And worst of all no turkey sandwiches because"I didn't think you would want any so gave all the leftover meat to the dug".

IronJambo Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Got my parents and the in laws coming down to us in the smoke as I'm working 24th and 27th.

Floyd Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Since me and the wife have finally went our separate ways me and the bairn are going to my mums. My new flat is too wee for everyone which suits me just fine. Result! Dinner made for you and no bullshit from your ex either. I had Little Miss Floyd at mine on Christmas Day last year so she is at her mums this year and mine on Boxing Day so will do Christmas dinner then. Christmas Day will involve me doing visits to the family in the morning, then a Chinese banquet for one (as the Manzil is shut ) some DVD box sets and a ridiculous amount of booze. Can't wait!!!!

Brilliant. You can ram your cold weather and shan Xmas jumpers up your arse. Xmas this year at my mum and dads as per. 5 min walk back round to mine. Last one before I get the **** out of here and move to Perth WA. Last turkey for a few years. My mum better be on top of her game this year or she's banned from skyping the kids for 6 months.

Try and include Byron Bay. One of my favourite places in the world. I did 3 days of surfing lessons there and on the last day I was only a few metres away from a pod of dolphins. Unreal. Also if you're venturing further north I would strongly recommend magnetic island. You can snorkel off the beaches at the back of the island in waste deep water and see 90% of the fish you'll see out on the reef. Stunning.

jambo1980 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Toronto for Christmas. New York City for New Year. Oh and Toronto for me, too, with my wife's family and friends. They're all Swiss so celebrate it on the 24th. Shouldn't make much of a difference but it still doesn't really feel like Christmas to me. Christmas day usually consists of a walk in the park and a trip to the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Will be spending it with the wife in our villa in Kelowna. Probably have some turkey, some wine and enjoy my free month of Netflix over the holiday period. To be honest the holiday has never been the same since our kids grew up, and now the grandkids are grown up. And to be honest the wife and I have grown old and cannae really be bothered with the whole fandango. Roll on the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Mrs Knightley is threatening to involve her M-i-L in the proceedings. If she goes, I'm staying here and will probably call in the services of an escort agency. Failing that, it'll be a happy family time at Knightey Abbey with music, food, telly shows and larks. Pretty unplanned; none of your turkey nonsense; I reckon a nice pink rack of lamb this year or maybe some swordfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Christmas in the Canaries is fantastic. Beer on the beach & warm enough to go in the sea. Oh yes. We visited Lanzarote for Christmas a few years back and it was superb. Swimming in the sea on Christmas day, daytime temperatures a very nice 25C or so - cooler evenings but then again it was mid winter. This is our first visit to Tenerife - hope it lives up to expectations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
