So how is everybody going to be spending Christmas?

I have to work for a few hours on Christmas Day but I have Christmas Eve and Boxing Day off so I'm happy! Christmas for me will be staying home with the immediate family watching TV in front of the fire.

Same as every year :
Saturday before, go to my sister's house of a soup dinner & open presents.
Christmas Day, open gifts at home with the parents & cook until it's time for the Christmas dinner at my uncle's house for all the family on my mom's side.

I wish I could say I will be drinking this year but I wont be... cant very well be drunk at work! (Or drive!) Christmas Day we lay in, then all have our roast at lunchtime. After lunch we get subjected to the Queen's Speech then mid-afternoon we all sit down and open the presents. This is usually followed by some boring, very long film during which the only people who want to see it anyway (the elderly among us!) fall asleep and snore throughout. Evening time we have just a few sandwiches and crisps, and watch all the soaps and whatever other festive shows are on before heading home/to bed.

Boxing Day is quite similar... lay in, big meal at lunch (usually salad, chips, rice etc) then relaxing in front of the fire with the TV on for the rest of the day.

What about the rest of u then...?!

I'll be with my family, so there will definitely be drinking. *grin* Nothing crazy planned, just spending the holiday with various friends and family, opening gifts, eating, annoying each other, etc.
