Hello all :)

So that time of celebration and hopefully good times beckons.

 

What are your plans for Xmas? Are you going away and what do you normally eat for the traditional Xmas lunch/supper?

 

I'm flying to the coast tomorrow to see my family, we will be having Xmas at our beach cottage with our cousins. As usual it will be a time of loads of good food, laughs and lots of alcohol :w00t:  We normally eat turkey, lamb and gammon.

 

So what you doing?

A buddy and 2 girls are coming over, then we go out and party with all the other freaks on Christmas eve. Then spending most of the christmas days with the gf and friends.

 

We'll be having duck, ricepudding, sugar fried potatoes, a brown sauce (traditional Danish)

 

and rice a'alamande with cherry sauce for desert

Spending Christmas with Lady GD & a rambunctious Rhodesian Ridgeback in a cabin in Gatlinburg. The view is incredible and there might be plenty of snow. Good snow, not that nasty gray stuff that we get here. We were supposed to leave last night but get held up to today.

Bah humbug. :biggrin:


...the usual family gathering thing, but mostly a whole lot of sloughing off. Hubs will have a lot of days of (official) time off so we'll likely catch up on movies, play a lot of games, cuddle in bed now and again, and eat lots of Rice-a-Roni. Ok, I'm joking on the last one.

So my Christmas plans have been way simpler since one side of my family cut off contact.  It was a bit weird last year, but this year I'm actually enjoying the fact I don't have to travel.  We also take the money we don't spend on gifts for that side and buy presents for families in need, and that is enjoyable.

 

I did most of my shopping on Amazon this year.  We will be having dinner with my wife's family on Christmas Eve, and then hosting them for a Christmas day brunch.

More than likely I will be consuming fried rice at a Chinese restaurant.
