Just wondering. I usually spend mine travelling, except last year I worked for the first time ever. I have not spent Christmas with my family since I was 15 (so 13 years ago).

Often go up to my Granny's house in Northumberland, staying at home this year though and it's going to be a nightmare, got both my grandmother's visiting as well as my Uncle & Auntie and my two young cousins, might just have to get drunk

Used to spend it with all the family at my aunt's house but since we moved out of London I just spend it at home now with my household and some family who live nearby really. I just play with/eat/watch my presents and help cook and stuff, just relax and enjoy the day.

I usually just stay at home, not doing anything Christmassy, this year I will be spending Christmas in my sister's house in London, so it will be a change. :hugesmile:

start with a champagne breakfast, (glass of champagne and a chippolata sandwich), go to pub and have a pre dinner aperitif with the old man his bird and my sister, come home have my dinner, it's likely to be a prawn cocktail starter, turkey dinner with all the trimming's, and christmas pudding with lashing's of brandy sauce. with a bottle of wine, followed by an irish coffeee, a large cognac and a cigar. then settle down in front of the box with the after eight mint's and the rest of my cognac, i'm pretty sure there's gonna be a royle family christmas special this year, so that will be the christmas day telly highlight.

Usually witrh family I hate but now it's just me and my folks (wish my sister, my nieces and nephew could come around too but her/my mum fell out)

I just get extraordinarily drunk.

I usually spend it with my Dad's side of the family with all my aunts/uncles/cousins (that usually adds up to about 15 of us, I have a big family). I've never really spent it with my Mum's side, but that's probably because she lives abroad and she doesn't speak to most of her siblings, so I usually spend New Year with my Mum and Brother (my parents are divorced so I can't spend both holidays with them every year).

This year though, I'm gonna spend the holidays with my Mum in Dublin. It's a long story, but some crap happened in my family and now she doesn't want to come over to Britain like she usually does, and I can't really leave her alone at Christmas so yeah. :idc:
