The kids stay down the other end of the table :-)
Al Qasr is lovely, loads of fab decorations, the most amazing Christmas trees, great food. Father Christmas for the kids. I love going there.
Think that's where we're going.

With the way the UK is going, it's as festive here as anywhere and for many people Christmas is about sunshine & warm weather. Ask any Aussie, or people brought up in other climates.
I spent Xmas day at Bondi once, was good, but rubbish compared to home.

You wiill really enjoy it.
Unless you have young kids make sure you are not booked into the Al Hambra end. It is a bit dark and not much atmosphere.
We will be in the Mj's end :-)

Ok ok ok, So some of you are so Scrooge like maybe it is best that you sit indoors with a plate of dates, a Black Sants's hat saying Bar Humbug to all those people Happy to follow the tradition in a non Christian country!!

For me, I will give the cook a day off and me and the partner will go out and have some fun.. First the Beach though, so Brunch is out.... Maybe an Egg and Bacon sandwich and a glass of bucks Fiz to get the day going....

OOH, I wonder if I can get some of the miseries on here to sing the theme tune of Eastenders so I dont feel home sick... All Practice now: "DA DA DA DA DUM...."

So, Christmas tree up at the end of November, Cards sent Mid-November and Bucks Fiz from the 01st Dec.....

Look, we all have something to bring to this discussion. But I think from now on the thing you should bring is silence.

I don't think so, he usually comes in softly softly and is normally polite. BB is just stupid

Plus our MH stalker wouldn't know much about Eastenders and Bah HUmbug!!

Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent!
Believe me, I don't want to make a monkey out of you. Why should I take all the credit?

I started off polite.. I think DARLING that you crossed the line...
