Xmas
 
Well after consulting calendar only 5 weeks on saturday until xmas day :scared:

Anybody else living in hope that M&S will get mince pies in stock before the day :rolleyes: They had xmas cakes in today if anybody interested - not many though so thought I'd pass on the info - nod nod ;) ;)

well.... dunno if it'd be of any help, but I was down at Choitrams by Safa Park this PM.... they had their mince pies out..... I am certain that they are no where near as good as the ones that M&S will eventually stock up on, but there is no harm in buying urself a box to get u in the mood..... and plus i think they were quite cheap aswell. :cool:

Oh no, don't want to be doing that :( We're going to country club this year but only because its child friendly (not really my cup of tea but drinks included with meal :D :beer: ) and anything to keep "fairy in training" happy!! Went to a hotel last year and it was really nice - santa arrived via dhow and distributed pressies and sweets - (Mina a Salam) but best with a group of people FD

Well it seems as though some of my wisdom is finally rubbing off on u! hahaha

Dubai Park Hotel, Hilton Dubai Creek and The Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina, The Royal Meridien and The Sheraton Hotel and Towers are some of the paces that traditionally have excellent Christmas Dinners.

But TS is right......literally every one of Dubai's 450+ hotels will have Christmas Dinner specials...... so take ur pick! :)
