Where's you spending xmas day?

We have been out for Xmas dinner since we have been here. This year we have been invited to do a round robin with some friends. Apparently you go to ones house for the starter, one for the main and another for pud. I have never done anything like this (seems a bit odd to me) We have not yet decided however.

What is everyone else doing Xmas day?

Sounds like a plan, D!

Breakfast on the terrace, Shorts and santa hat, Spend some time watching the peasants walk past, A light lunch, Shower, check myself out in the mirror, Tel janet her clobber looks fine, 17 times at least, Then a slow stroll hand in hand with my xmas babe to town, Meet up with the gang, And pile in for the big meal,

You jammy git!

Unfortunately we'll be back in the freezing UK at my parents for Christmas dinner, family tradition & saves us all the hassle of cooking & washing up.

However it's going to be a sparse one this year both our daugthers are doing there own thing for first time and my sister & her family aren't travelling from down south.
So as much as we wish we were still in Tenerife for Christmas Day probably going to be a blessing for my parents keeps them happy I suppose !

Mind next year plans are a foot to spend Christmas & NYD in Tenerife if we aren't grandparents by then.

We had my parents for Christmas dinner for 30 years, Until one day somebody said they moan about coming, Binned it straight away, blox to them, Just me and Janet now,

They didn't like your sprouts...I love sprouts me. Could eat a pot full of them.Cover them in butter and add some pepper, yummee!

Feck em, Chicken soup for them, I like sprouts, We took some over last year for somebody,

I saw a nice recipe type post by TD somewhere the other day. It sounded really delicious! (You can tell Trish is making my tea, I'm salivating here!)

Sprouts yuk.

Thats sounds a really great idea Cru, you can do the main course, I will do the cheese and biccies with a nice drop of vintage port.

Thanks Vince, just don't forget my prezzie

What do you want then?

Just some of this will do fine thanks

That gift box is too big for that perfume, I'll stick a brick in it for you........

I love the smell of Creasote, But you cant get it anymore, I know they do telegraph poles in it, so Cam will know what they use now,

It's ok Vince I don't need the gift box, the perfume will do just fine thanks

You can get creosote in industrial quantities (25l). Very cheap too, its smell lingers so your neighbours may grass you up if you do a fence in it.

We still use it for most poles but poles in school grounds and play parks have to have a special treatment. (Non-carcinogenic stuff).
