Plans for xmas?

What's everyone's plans for xmas?

I always prefer xmas eve to xmas day, which is tomorrow . As a kid we always used to do so much. We used to go off to visit family member's graves in the morning. Then other family members would come up in the afternoon to see us and in the evening we would head to church.

Now as my family here haven't been too well and i'm older, things will be a bit more quiet. On xmas eve we will probably will watch xmas films until the evening, then I will open my selection of xmas beers and stay up until after the midnight church service on tv.

Then xmas day will be quiet. I get up and we all open presents. Later I will help cook xmas dinner and we sit watching xmas tv for the rest of the day

I was hoping to spend Christmas day with my Son and his family but sadly they want to be on their own.  My little bro and his wife are coming to me instead so I'll be sweating over the Christmas dinner for a good few hours and then hopefully a game of poker, some good wine and nibbles.  I have tons to do before all the above can happen though!

Sorry to hear that Blueday. The rest of it sounds quite nice for you though .


I think i'm not feeling as xmassy as usual this year partly due to the weather. Other years I can always remember the wintry weather. Normally we would have a cold frost on the ground, frosted up windows, plenty of fog, even some snow. I remember outside you could see your own breath.

This year in the UK though we are having none of that. It's storms galore, no frost, no snow, nothing. At the moment it's pouring down with rain and is dark and windy outside.

My plan was to have a quiet Christmas at home but it seems I have to visit the in-laws, not exactly what I was wishing for... Anyway, I'll keep cool and it will be over before too long

Quiet evening for me, no visitors, just the closest family.

For Me Christmas is all about spending quality time with family.....I will go for a short vacation with my family and enjoy Christmas completely being with them...Thanks for the share and merry Christmas in Advance

Christmas eve will be spent at my house this year. The windy city is a blustery MINUS 20 below zero with the windchill. So baby its cold outside!

Planning on have a smorgasbord of food, appetizers and lots of cocktails, got to keep warm some how right! And for Christmas day going to friends house for dinner.

Christmas Eve has always been big at our house. I remember as a kid I couldn't wait to go to bed so the next morning would come quicker! We do gifts christmas morning and a late din din. Family friends, food, and gifts what more could one as for!
