What do ya do Christmas Eve?
Doing something a bit different this year, since we are expected in Phoenix on Christmas day, we have decided to go down the day before. Think I will check out the george and Dragon British style pub on Christmas eve and see if there is a good atmosphere in there unless anyone else in Phoenix has a better recomendation?

Only up to a few years ago I was working my arse off in the Pub, "work hard play hard" was my lifes motto. Now days it's cook the bloody Turkey while the OH rapes the presents, oh the excitement

I'd check the pub out if you havent already, before the big night. I've been disappointed a lot in UK-style pubs in the US.

Re: What do ya do Christmas Eve?
We usually have Christmas dinner on Christmas eve ... full sit down with all the trimmings. Then on Christmas day we can eat when we want to and best of all I dont get stuck in the kitchen.
Merry Christmas folks
