So Christmas is upon us once again. Please share your plans for Christmas, here's my input:

Christmas Eve

Off to Frankie and Bennies in the afternoon for some grub (nothing too heavy) then we must prepare the house as we are hosting dinner this year (9 folks but should fit just fine in the Tardis )

The evening shall be spent watching TV with a mince pie and a measure of Glenfiddich 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Christmas Day

After presents, we are hosting dinner which shall be roast turkey with all the trimmings and a rather nice bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape red wine

In the evening we shall visit other family (my Dad doesn't drink so he's driving) and there will be time for the mandatory Christmas Doctor Who episode

Boxing Day

Off out for a nice meal at a restaurant in the countryside. Lovely locally sourced food washed down with a pint or two of Guinness!

Later on we shall visit other family.

Christmas Eve.
Playing Santa which invariably will roll straight into Christmas Day.

Christmas Day, both sets of parents here...oh joy, no mass anymore, I fell out with my invisible friend long ago
Turkey and a ham to cook along with all the trimmings in the salubrious surroundings of my newly decorated dining room, so it will all taste of paint and they won't notice any cock ups.

Boxing Day will consist of various tools being put to use fixing all the Chinese crap that has broken, playing Chess, yes she wants a chess set and going deaf with the iPod speaker system. Mrs T is getting something nice so that will keep her quiet and hopefully I can imbibe of my malt.

Have a good one Doc

Christmas Eve:

Training (60 mile bike ride)

Christmas Day:

Training (45 mile hilly bike ride)

Boxing Day:

Work

No big eats roast dinner or drinking for me!

We're hoping to have a great family Christmas - our second in Cornwall, seeing both of our children, grandson, sister-in-law, nieces, nephew and prospective in-laws (daughter gets wed in March). Plenty of good grub and drink, visiting Christmas Eve concert, late-night church service (don't forget THAT's what it's all about really ).

Don't wish to be a party pooper but please remember this is the world wide web and all sorts maybe looking. If your plans involve leaving your home empty then don't post that fact for all to see

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all, with plenty of mud under the wheels and hopefully a proper summer:whistle: Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black

Our Christmas starts on Sunday 23rd: Early drive down to Stansted, collect son and his beautiful Norwegian beloved off flight from Oslo. Excellent home-made chicken pie dinner courtesy of Jamie's Dinners (in no way are they made in 30 minutes!).

That thought occurred to me too. Which is why I do not reveal my exact location on here and as an added bonus I am bluffing because we are in fact staying in 24/7 with shotguns and grenades at the ready for would be burglars.

If you are a burglar and reading this (the ability to read is quite something these days for some burglars) and you think this is a double bluff, then you should know that we do the place up like Home Alone if out so try elsewhere

On a more festive note, seasons greetings to all and enjoy whatever it is you do. I have got a bloody exam on EU law in January so make the most of it me thinks. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Also don't leave empty boxes for the new iPad,TV, games console etc etc outside next to your bin

Christmas Eve will be Christmas shopping its easer to pick something because it take it or leave it


Christmas day will be up to Lumsden brothers time to cook (burgers beware the BULL is on guard duty)

Well... we're having friends to pre-xmas dinner on Saturday. Friends we've known for years and always a lively debate, sometimes passionate, but always stimulating. We have a friend with us xmas eve. He's recently been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus and is a bit down.
Christmas Day at home with Molly the dog, and Meg our friend's dog cos he can't take her to his son's for christmas.
To the f g mother-in-law's for boxing day to distribute bounty to nieces and nephews... return for well-earned bottle of decent burgundy, Davidoff cigar & cognac, walk the dog in the slush ... thence to bed
To Wales for New Year (it's quiet, dark and peaceful)...Then the world kicks in again (Mayans notwithstanding) subsequent to that... CCNA ahoy! ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...
