I'm going home to be with parents, siblings and grandfather.

A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to spend Chrimbo with a partner, but it didn't feel like that was my calling... even more obvious now since she is no longer my partner (but still a good friend)

So far, I've never spent Christmas away from "home", i.e. with parents and family. Will happen when I find the right lady.

Julie, as we have 2 feline members to our family (by the names of Victoria and Albert... cringe now or forever hold your peace!) I understand the joy the cats show when presented with turkey plus turkey offal gravy. Those little scamps!

By the way, "Henry's cat", it didn't escape me

the true joy of christmas is being with those you love. Last year we had to abandon plans for chrimbo at home as my pregnant wife was so ill, and it was a pretty timid affair, especially for our teenage daughter.

this year its christmas at ours with our new duaughter and here big sister, with the grand parents coming around for the first christmas with their new grandchild. No tv, plenty of food, board games, charades etc.

All off tomorrow to get the christmas tree from a wood in sussex, where we cut our own one. Bit of a family tradition. Im really looking forward to christmas this year and i dont give a stuff about the presents, just cant wait to see the look in the kids eyes

We're staying in. Nice fire in the heard, books galore to read. Calling the folks back home in the afternoon (before one pair goes of the a fancy Xmas diner and the other pair goes to bed )

Nope, I'm working

Do you actually chop it down yourself? Do you have to pay for it?

 

[Thermo]

yes and yes!

 

[ninebob]

we normally go away (Thailand last xmas/new year)

Yes, we remember being worried when we didn't hear from you both for a while and we thought you had gotten caught up in the tsunami disaster. Much relief on the DIYnot board when you came back safely!

Please try to plan a safer destination if you change your mind and go away this year....

The Joy of Chrimbo is not being around other people...the family will get together, but I haven't attended a family Christmas for more than 20 years..can't stand them.

Normally I go away somewhere and forget about Chrimbo, but this year I'm gonna work...

Julie xmas tree's arent usually above 6 feet high, they are grown specially for that purpose.
