Thought this might be interesting for everyone - (having said that it will probably get no replies!!:Erm:)

What are your plans for Christmas Day?

As for moi, at the moment I'm doing bugger all! No invites :bigcry: no Christmas dinners :bigcry: no boozy does :bigcry: I'll probably end up playing Cafe World and Farmville on F******k all day.

Seriously though - what are you doing?

Myrna & I are spending Christmas Day with my son, Alastair ... known [unsurprisingly!] to everyone as Ally ... and his partner Amanda (Mandy) :holiday08: who live on the other side of town.

Ally is the *motor bike enthusiast I mentioned at one point, Al ... though, given your recent "mishap", probably the least said about *that, the better! :cwm24:

Anyway, mate, in the light of all that's been happening in your lives, lately :bigcry: it somehow seems inappropriate to say "Merry Christmas"; instead, we would like to take this opportunity of wishing you and Hanna all the VERY BEST for 2010.

As for me, me and my husband will go to london for a few days next week as he promised me that he will bring me to madame thaussauds and other tourist destinations in london. I just been here for about a month so it would be nice to see what london looks like. Hope i'll meet some filipinas out there...:Hellooo::BouncyHappy::)

[Tonet]

I will be working on the 25th untill 2:30 pm. We will have x'mas dinner when i come home with parents-in-law and brother-in-law's family.

Me and janice (scottishfiance) will go to church on the night of the 24th though...

It should be good

Philip and I are wishing everyone a HAPPY HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!! Despite all the trial you are going through, give yourself a treat and try to be happy this season..xxxxxx

madame thaussauds

Don't forget the 'Chamber of Horrors' :eek: ... wax images of some of our "esteemed" politicians ... for a real 'owl! :cwm24:

[Arthur Little]

*wax images of some of our "esteemed" politicians ...

... actually, MOST are decidedly better-looking than the "distinguished" personages they're purported to be modelled on! :rolleyes:

Try and get to Hampton Court Palace,I was there one night last week running along the towpath from Hampton to Kingston(nope,no one was chasing me:icon_lol:)but all of the palace windows have red,blue,green etc lights and the outdoor skating rink is great,lots to do there and it really is a great place to visit as a tourist :santa::holiday08:

[Arthur Little]

Try and get to Hampton Court Palace

Yup, :iagree: ... it's aMAZ(E)ing!

[Arthur Little]

the 'Chamber of Horrors'

:Erm: ... You might even stumble across a waxwork of Osama 'Bean' Laden, Esquire! :omg:

[South-east boy]

Just going to my parents house and my brother and his GF will be coming so fairly quiet. We usually go to church in the morning, but with preparing the meals etc, it's a bit too much for my mum after her op and subsequent difficulties. Hope to speak to Suzie and see her on the webcam, but will have to do that at home before leaving as my parents pc doesn't have yahoo or webcam etc

[liane]

I will be home with family on Christmas Day and be waiting for some relatives to come over our house. I will have to enjoy this year Christmas for I might be spending Christmas in UK next year and the celebration will be very different:):):).

My missus Louella will be working at the hospital from 7:30 till 12 noon and when she gets home she's going to cook the Chrismas dinner. She just happens to work with a farmers wife and managed to get a nice fat wild duck and a brace of pheasant, all three of which are now hanging in the shed ready for the big day.

Mary Grace is a great one for watching nature programs and she loves animals and birds etc, so she wasn't to happy at the sight of these dead birds hanging there. :NoNo: I think she's going to become a vegetarian now that the consequences of eating meat has really struck home with her.

The outlook of kids in the UK today is so sanitized and they never see many of the realities of life, I mean, remember when you used to see whole pigs etc hanging up in the butchers shop, you knew where you meat came from in those days.

Merry Christmas Everyone !!!

Iain.

Well, I guess I will get up around 6 am as usual, feed my 2 cats, make a cup of tea, probably light my fire, then jump back into bed.

I'll phone my wife, as it looks like she is going back to the province, to stay with her family...Glad she's not going to be on her own, as she lives alone.
(I live alone too).Will then look in on the forum.

Christmas breakfast, is a bit of a tradition.....A big Pork Pie, with a nice bit of chutney. (wont eat all of it)...People I used to tell, would say urggghhhh!! pork pie for breakfast, but I love it, it reminds me of my late dad, who also used to enjoy it.
(Have to say though, I did give it up, for a few years, when I was a vegetarian in my twenties).

I live up a track, just on the edge of a wood, so I'll go for a walk through the woods, up over the top & look out over the Gordano valley, hope it's a nice crisp frosty morning, or some snow about.

About mid-morning, I will go to my mums, who lives locally. My brother's coming down from London, he's divorced, so it will just be the three of us. My sister has other plans.

Used to love watching Top of the pops....is it on this year?...You can't beat the 70's christmas records.

Christmas dinner, will be after that...Turkey, roast potatoes, mmmm plenty of sprouts for me please...love 'em, bread sauce & all the trimmings etc. etc.

...Then probably nod off, still wearing the stupid hat from the cracker, until it's time for Wallace & Gromit, or whatever else is on TV?

Later in the evening, I'll be back home.


Next year, I'll hopefully be with my wife, here or there....I don't mind. :)

Merry Christmas everybody. :santa:

[Tawi2]

Got a few decent cuts of venison in the freezer,probably have roe as I prefer it to fallow,your right Ian,my childhood memories of the local butchers is half pigs hanging in the shop,blood dripping from their snouts onto the sawdust covering the floor,I even remember touching the glazed eyes of the rabbits hanging in pairs :icon_lol:Christmas has lost its magic,even for kids nowadays,I just wish I had an open fire for chestnuts,you just cant do them properly on radiators :Erm:

[SteveTalaga]

A fairly quiet day for me. Will see my kids in the moring and probably have dinner with my sister. Hope the snow holds off so I can blow a few cobwebs off the bike :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Steve.r]

Yup we are. I'll be on my zx12r if I can brave the artic conditions around the Midlands.

Even meeting half way in this weather would be a cold ride, I even have heated grips on my Blade ha ha!! When the weather improves maybe we can do that. :)

Will do Steve. My girlfriend has a Kawasaki Fury 125, we spent the last couple of weeks blasting around on that (You know when I say 'blasting' I am only kidding lol ) I enjoyed riding around at 2 in the morning with just shorts and as tee shirt on. I went out yesterday with a tee shirt, thick overshirt, jumper, buff and winter Heine Gerick suit on. Still cold !!

My family have Pork pie for Christmas morning breakfast too! We also have a joint of ham to go with it.

I was wondering, what do Filipinos think of the British traditional Christmas dinner? Is there a traditional Filipino Christmas dinner?

[pennybarry]

Mom bought big turkey covered with bacon 2 weeks ago. I don't eat turkey:D
Sirloin joint Beef and pork for oven roast. Wow! my favourite!:D:icon_lol:
Cruncy Roast Potato, Yorkshire puddings, served with meaty gravy.
Mom home made cakes!
Loads of drinks! I am trying to learn drinking but no luck yet.:omg:
We have some filipino friends coming and they must eat english food!
I don't want to cook as I love roasted beef/pork. Yummy!:Rasp::Rasp::Rasp:
