I am so coming to yours for Xmas

no usually the classic christmas tradition of giving piggyback rides on the dinner table

..leave the back door on the latch because I'll be there as well...

:laugh2:

Bit after the food where I can relax and be on my own for a bit :laugh:

Is there room for a little one?:grin2:

In all honesty - Simply seeing all my loved ones together, safe and well and happy.

My favourite part of Christmas day, is watching The Snowman after dinner with the tub of Quality Street on my knee!

Also i enjoy Christmas tea which is cheese and biscuits with grapes and a nice glass of red wine:flutter:

My favourite part is seeing the look on my little boys face when he comes down to see if Father Christmas has been - if I could bottle that feeling I would be set forever (plus it makes up for the fact that he has been an over-excited nightmare for the past 3 weeks and makes it all worth it :laugh:)

..always Ruby..:love:..(I say that and I've just invited myself without asking as well..)...

..and this..my guys/my world/my Christmas..:lovedup:..


...you wouldn't swap any of those over excited nightmare moments for anything Annie..:lovedup:...

Awww i remember when my 2 were like that, they're now 14, but they still get excited when they see their pressies.

It's great to see them when they're little and they get a toy they really wanted, watching their little faces light up:flutter:

Mine will be stopping up til midnight in the hope that we all can then get a goodnights sleep, the problem is that it's me that's up at 4 in the morning waiting for everyone to wake up......i guess i've never really grown up:laugh:

Buying presents for myself after receiving money.

The bit just after midnight, when Christmas Eve becomes Christmas Day and everyone else is sleeping. 'Tis the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature is stirring, not even a mouse'.

I loved that poem as a child, but I can't remember the rest of it. Anyone out there who knows the whole thing?

Happy Christmas to all of you. :)

Yes, come on over. Ben, I won't be allowing you to leave till January, you know the rules...

Probably the Christmas dinner piled high, and then slumping on the sofa for a nap, only to be woken at 6pm for the Christmas pudding with custard. :D

Dinnertime. When I'm at my parents that is...I hate it when its me who has to cook it all and that :laugh:

I also rather enjoy our family tradition of a poker game once everyone is too stuffed to move.

I wonder where my gambling addiction came from... :laugh:
