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 ;) ;)

Re: Xmas
 

Mrs Speak makes her own cakes and is now making yummy mince pies with cream cheese...... she'll sell u some!! they're very alcoholic :)

Re: Xmas
 

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:

Re: Xmas
 

Considering im going to be over there all alone for xmas,
can anyone recommend a bar/pub that will be serving xmas dinner.?
Hopefully somewhere fun with a good atmosphere

Re: Xmas
 

Is she taking orders for the mince pies????? Me want some :D

Re: Xmas
 

just about every hotel in Dubai - Face should know more..

Re: Xmas
 

Failing that ill have to settle for a turkey shwarma :scared:

Re: Xmas
 

I'll ask her - she's out on the town tonite - I get to look after the bambinos.

Re: Xmas
 

Lucky you!!!! :D

Hey Dons back with gusto in the lounge....cause a stir :confused:

I am spending Xmas dinner at Nad Al Sheba Millenium Stadium with Santa and all....no dirty pots and pans for me LOL :D

Re: Xmas
 

I am sure somebody will kind enough to invite you to join their xmas dinner. Mr and Ms.TS maybe??? or JB???

Re: Xmas
 

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

Re: Xmas
 

I have nanna Speak coming for xmas - wot joy http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_1_105.gif so no dirty pots and pans for me with two women in the house - I may even find my way to a hostellery for a frosty beverage http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/13/13_4_1v.gif

Re: Xmas
 

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! :)

Re: Xmas
 

I take it that wud b u on the floor gulping down all that alcohol? lol

Re: Xmas
 

Yup, that's me.....i I get a day pass http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_30_104.gif

Re: Xmas
 

Cyclone would be quite good at that time of year

Re: Xmas
 

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: that place shud be torn down..... me thinks all the medical waste from the american hostpital (which is about 50m from the entrance to the 'cyclone' has had an affect on the ppl that frequent that place..... i even once saw patients strolling in as they thought it was a park. hahahahaha....... steer clear of that place..... and what were u doing at that lowsy joint rafter?

Re: Xmas
 

So what's it like out in the ME for x-mas? got the trees and all the other gubins that go with it?

Re: Xmas
 

We've got everything - with a slight MW twist!! although the missus has given anyone visiting the UK a shopping list for the past 2 months!! WOMEN

Re: Xmas
 

What u mean the girls giving xmas specials!! "good" is subjective - depends on your needs :eek: Although i'm sure that the "girls" look good in santa suits and black stockings - Joe, wot dyu recon - should we take Face??

:)

Re: Xmas
 

Am I allowed to object to you taking Joe?! Jeez, you could at least wait until I leave the country!!!!

Re: Xmas
 

The shopping malls will go for all the decorations and stuff, but somehow it's just not the same, going Christmas shopping without ending up with a frostbitten nose!!!

Re: Xmas
 

Don't worry K - i've had second thoughts, although the bouncers aren't choosy they wouldn't let Joe in with a hairdo like that :rolleyes:

Re: Xmas
 

Ummmm, I'm not commenting, I'll be in enough trouble about the t-shirts!

Re: Xmas
 

Your answer speaks volumes :rolleyes:

Re: Xmas
 

yep..... course we do........ we even fly in the trees from the UK! hahahaha

we import the fairy lights from china, mince pies from Europe, frozen turkeys from Brazil... so yeah.... we have a Worldly x-mas here in DXB. lol...... i wish i had money to burn like that. hahahahaha.... the privilages of living in a rich, ME nation. :D

Re: Xmas
 

do I get a say in this.......... i' rather stick to that other joint..... this place has been known to have a errrrrrrrrrrr........ bad reputation for yonks and I intend to continue to stay well clear of that hole in the ground that is the Cyclone.

so when r we going? :rolleyes:

Recipes pleeeese, I am bitten by the bug now...my cake smells divine :D Have karma will pay LOL

Re: Xmas
 

What ever happened to the good fashioned way of Christmas .... Kids up first, coffee and cooked breakfast, whilst the the turkey cooks, open pressies, the house full of laughter and the smell of dinner cooking. Wash up, and sit down to relax with the family and enjoy the rest of the day .... At home! :D :D

Re: Xmas
 

Yeah I know, taking the lazy option this year.

Will still be up at the crack of dawn no doubt, screaming kids, cooked brekkie, although I prefer home cooked ham and scrambled eggs. Then pressie opening, eat out, afternoon walk with dogs, home, eat drink some more, feet up playing kiddies games or putting more toys together :eek:

Re: Xmas
 

And all thats missing is the cold weather of Blighty!!! For the added touch. :D

Re: Xmas
 

Dream on :)

Re: Xmas
 

[QUOTE=Truth Speak]mmmmmmmmm......... minty choc rolls. lurvely! lol

Re: Xmas
 

Have just sorted out our Christmas plans, we will be going away for a little winter break for a week and then back to the UK for Christmas and New Year's. A dear friend of mine (bless her) is staying here and will help us with relocation as we are moving house!!

Re: Xmas
