So.. last night... Mum phones. In THAT voice she says "what are you doing on Christmas Day..?" (she's asked me 3 times and I've been a bit vague). So I says "I'm doing nothing". She gets all worried and says "but I don't like to think of you by yourself on Christmas Day". So I explain... it's the only day of the year when EVERYONE I know is BUSY. So I can do what I like... I shall be doing the following...
Having a lie-in until 10am.
Getting up and eating breakfast of chocolate log (well, maybe not but I can if I want)
Watching TV all day
Sitting in front of the fire with a glass (or several) of mulled wine
Watching more TV
Cooking my own lunch of curry and rice (if I want)
Watching more TV
May ring some friends and family (Oz & USA)
Drinking more mulled wine and eating more chocolate log
Watching more TV
Going to bed early
No fuss. No hassle. No driving. No screaming kids. No arguing family.
Bliss.
So what are you doing..?

Is that the ghost monkey of forums past I saw ?
within 7 posts and an innocent thread decends to the depths. Kwality!
We shall possibly start the day with a run, then have lovely breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambed eggs with lovely lodger, then driving down to my brother's for rest of the day and drinking and eating lots and lots. Probably will go for long walk at some point with the dog.
I believe Meldy might be giving you a Yucker for Christmas.
Right, you kids behave yourself. I'm going to the bank. (no, not to pay Melds)
Get woken up by my 10 year old brother in law at 7am (if I am lucky that would be a lie in....)
Set up the new PC and the broadband and install the antivirus software and all that.
Sit said child on PC and go for a run.
Have breakfast, a bacon roll methinks
Go to other relatives (oh at some point open pressies)
Go for lunch at hotel. Drink copious amounts
Visit the other side of the wifes family, drink copious amounts
Go back and sleep all the above off. Hopefully no arguments occur between times.

Would love to have done that. Not allowed even to drive so getting p*ssed is the best option............
Christmas W - I didn't realise there was a sea near High Wycombe. You're not getting it mixed up with the local sewage works are you?
Thankfully always avoided Christmas Day with my mother-in-law. The only present I remember getting from her was a crappy stainless meat platter and carving knife and fork from the local pound shop. I was vegetarian at the time.
Probably get woken up by their dog (cats banished to the cattery for 3 days) or Mr Cas. Going to have brekkie, go to church then have a walk and picnic up on the Downs before going home to open prezzies, then got roast beef in the evening.
Go for a run while Mr has a bath/shaves.
Have a bath/preen.
Meet up with Mr's family for lunch (hotel so no-one cooks).
Come home, open chocolate and wine stash.
Watch TV or DVD mountian.
Go to bed.
I'll be going for a run.
Having breakfast with Mr IW, my parents and my teens.
Opening first lot of presents.
Taking teens to their father's.
Taking my parents to Mr IW's sister's - 50 miles away in darkest Fife.
Having Christmas dinner with his family and watching them all eat obscene amounts and then falling asleep in their chairs.
Driving home and watching my christmas DVD of This Life (if I get it) because I'm a saddo.
Cath I have spent my last few xmasses just like yours and they have been the best. You might want to unplug your phone though people just don't get it!!
