Re: What are you all doing christmas day?
Hopefully this is the last Christmas in this country so all the family are coming round for dinner, my wife (bless her cotton socks) is making lunch for 15 people and when I say lunch I mean the whole MENU starters, dinner, xmas pud. She is one hell of a lady to do all that. I will be putting batterys in the kids toys and washing plates

Re: What are you all doing christmas day?
The thing that bugs me is I have 5 kids and they all buy me Whiskey for Birthdays, Fathers day and Xmas. So over the year it tends to mount up and every now and again I have a clear out and they all start complaining. My wife says 'do you think that glass is big enough and do you not want something to go with it ?' my eldest says 'that reeks' and my youngest who is 4 says 'can I have a drink'

I allways wanted my own football team, I ended up with a netball team with 4 daughters 1 son and a grand daughter, its murder on Sundats when they all come home for dinner and watch Eastenders and talk at the same time. I.ve bought my self a new shed and I have a wee fridge inside I'm going to miss that shed more than the kids I leave behind

Re: What are you all doing christmas day?
My wife is from South Africa and we all went to Jo burg for Xmas a couple of years ago, and it was strange to be floating in the pool with a can,we all sat outside around the table in the sunshine having dinner it was well weird when your not used to it.
