I will miss having the kids round on Christmas day, and I have a grandson in the UK I have not yet seen (apart from video on Skype). We are having the wifes brother round on Christmas day and at the moment I am planning a Turkey Buffett. It just does not seem the same. We have a Candles by Candlelight next saturday at Sandstone point. Perhaps then I will start to feel its Christmas. :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aldo Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 You forgot the blokes in the crimbo jumpers xmas day in the boozer (if its open ) and the wonderfil smell of disinfectant and vomit in the loos If i remember rightly most boozers where open (sunday hours) on xmas day and some would open boxing day. The women would stay home cooking the turkey while the blokes would get drunk and at 2.30 kicking out time, it was back home for dinners and the dam busters. The all day opening has kind of killed to atmosphere as people seem to drift in and out willy nilly. The old fashioned opening times meant you always new where everyone was. If you wanted an all day drink you would go where the landlord had lock-ins. Boxing day was a sea of dodgy jumpers and kuros after shave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Kids moaning.... Do we have to wear this Jumper from nan", (she always knitted them a jumper, horrid looking things).... father in law takes me over the pub for a drink and we end up back at the in-laws house for Christmas dinner...luke warm turkey and veg, I always wondered how they could spend so long cooking dinner and manage to serve it cold..... We would get home for tea (evening meal to the posh ones lol), then get the paper out of the black bag because at least one of the kids had lost a present and we had to search for it. Kids would finally go to bed and we could sit down with a quiet drink and watch Sound of music for the umpteenth time. Perhaps Christmas will be different over here, but thinking about it.... it stands a good chance that it may well be better in its own way....:notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
