So, what does eveyone do for Christmas?

I'm from a "Non-Denominational" (at best ) family. Christmas doesn't mean much to me, apart from an excuse to have a few days off with family, eat good food and drink good drink.

It's always sunny and warm (actually, it's HOT!) over Christmas here. The kids are all out of school for a few months so there's parties everywhere, always. There's not much work to do and nothin' good on TV... except the cricket.

We have our corporate Christmas party and office party, which are great fun! We get rolling drunk and stuff ourselves with food!
I generally catch up with my mates and we count down to New Year's, which is the real party!

Then we recover for about a week before we settle back down to work...

I love this time of year!

couple of weeks off work for me, three kids that are praying it'll snow... overload of drink and food like most people and i've already stocked up on antacid pills

probably spend some of the time tinkering with the cars if the weather is fair, they're both due their annual MOT tests at the start of February so I'll give them a bit of a service...

when i was a kid it used to snow for Christmas...now it dosent anymore..but its cold outside and its a good reason to stay inside stuff yourself with good food, sweets, fruits and drinks...the Christmas is a quiet time of the year over here...so no partys...but after Christmas it usualy begins to snow and then its FUN TIME....everybody is out drifting donuting hand-breaking their cars making accidents..bending fenders and pulling over 10 sleighs with their cars...also the big 3.2.1 party comes

i cant wait for that part of the year !!

Usually the routine is to freeze my ass off outside. But that's only after going to sleep late (wrapping gifts), waking up an hour later (playing Santa), getting up early (kids know there'll be presents), taking toys out of the box (they have them all nice and put together on display in the box, but it'll cost ya - 127 twisties per toy), putting together toys (the ones that don't have the twisties), and hooking up the A/V (grown ups get gifts occasionally too).

This year it's a coach-trip to the German Christmas Markets in Cologne and Frankfurt.
Back to the Island for two days, then off the mainland to spend Xmas with my brother's family, then back to the Island for New Year (probably a party at my neighbour's).

Usual stuff.

Well, glad to hear you still celebrate Christmas. It has become controversial here. We are now supposed to be PC, and just celebrate the "holidays," so we don't offend anyone who is not christian.

There's a place in Tennessee that said they can have a nativity scene as long as they don't include the baby, the mother or the father or any human figures at all. So they've got the animals, the hay, the manger, everything EXCEPT the actual people.

Nutty world I tell you.

Merry Christmas anyway, ya'll.

I watched my sons first christmas play just yesterday and it was unashamedly christmassy, lots of references to Jesus, Angels and three wise men.

There was no picket line of disaffected protesters from alternative religions waiting outside and I wonder if sometimes the powers that be are seeing how far they can push things before we say "hold on! thats a stupid idea, I'm not doing that"


My village was however full of Police cars as somebody had tried to lure two schoolboys into their car in broad daylight. Motive unknown but I can probably guess its wasn't a suprise trip to santas grotto.

Sometimes the doo gooders are far to busy messing with things that dont matter to attend to the things that really are much more important.


As for my christmas plans, the kids will spend christmas morning with me then boxing day and new year with their mother while I drive another of my Ebay purchases to west Africa to raise money for charity.
