"I’m off work for the best part of 2 weeks this year. Usually spend a few days away with family, but not this year. Was thinking of going away for a bit of sun; but can’t justify the cost. A quiet one alone, for the big day - which doesn’t bother me at all - open to offers of fun the other days, lol! Loads to do around the house, but nothing that can’t be postponed! 🤣" Things are certainly more expensive all of a sudden. Take some chill time and do the house stuff as a new year resolution | |||

"Might go away with my daughter from the 20th till the 23, then she goes away till after new year. I'll spend Christmas day sleeping, watching netflix, eating and drinking rubbish, then work on boxing day." So some family time, some chill time then back to the grind stone. Will you watch Christmas films on Netflix or random stuff - probably by then the tyson/Paul fight would have stopped buffering | |||

"I land from Dubai on Christmas morning. I’d be hoping for a lovely Christmas lunch when I arrive but that happens in my wildest fantasies only 😂😂😂 so I will probably have to cook if myself if I want it. Or we may move Christmas dinner to Boxing Day like a couple of years ago. My kids are all teenagers/young adults now, so Christmas isn’t such a big thing anymore which suits me fine. I hate all the build up and stresses of the season. " Dumb question Alert - is christmas celebrated in Dubai or is it verboten? I agree all the build up is a pain in the posterior.

"Hey Cinnamon! I love Christmas almost as much as Halloween. Almost. December is going to be quite a busy month for me, festive city break with the boyfriend, wreath making, family and friends visit, charity presents drop off, a Christmas edition of a farmer's market, a lot of baking, carol service, games night.... you get the idea. Christmas Day I'm hosting for the inlaws. His parents only eat veg that's mashable by fork, one brother is vegetarian (still waiting on his boyfriend's dietary requirements)... so I'm going to be up at 5am with a Bailey's mocha and cooking several meals. It's going to be a hoot..." Blimey _eli! You certainly have a lot on your plate (mashed or otherwise) enjoy the build up and make that Baileys mocha an extra large one as you boil the life out if that veg 🌟 | |||

"Might go away with my daughter from the 20th till the 23, then she goes away till after new year. I'll spend Christmas day sleeping, watching netflix, eating and drinking rubbish, then work on boxing day. So some family time, some chill time then back to the grind stone. Will you watch Christmas films on Netflix or random stuff - probably by then the tyson/Paul fight would have stopped buffering " Well after work on boxing day, I am planning to binge watch squid game series 2 with a glass of wine and more than a few chocolates | |||

"Off work for the full 2 weeks, out Christmas eve and boxing day at family get-togethers. Christmas day it's just me and my mum going for dinner at a nice pub, then settle in front of the telly with a glass of something nice and a tub of chocs. And maybe some cheese. Bliss, it just can't come quick enough!" Sounds perfect! Do you usually do Christmas dinner at the pub? | |||
