Xmas and New Year

[beanzontoast]

Spending it at home - as ever! Not to everyone's taste maybe, but looking forward to a chance to put my feet up and sigh with contentment. I have a couple of days off at Christmas (though fortunately the Sat and Sun also fall nicely) and am working over New Year, so apart from a seasonal watching of a few films and knocking back the odd Baileys, 'twill be a quiet family Christmas with son and daughter around most of the time.

I shall be dining upon the high seas with a few friends.

(OK, I'll be at work.. Dry ship as well so no booze)

 

[Hover Fly]

At home for me too. Just not used to home being a castle in France yet.

 

[Maverick Goose]

Visiting the folks in Normandy for Christmas and then back to the grindstone for NY....catering for 130 odd people

Going to be a bit sad this xmas as my mother in law died this year so father in law is coming over for dinner then we're off to my dads for xmas tea with brothers & sister and their families.

New years eve is my BIRTHDAY so i will be having a drink ...or three

We are going abroad for Christmas. Will spend the whole week in Whitstable Kent (like you do), and will be the first English Christmas for years.

Is the telly likely to be good this year, or will we be treated to yet another repeat of a Morecombe and Wise Christmas Show?

I don't think the telly has been that good for several years. I only have terrestrial so I can't speak for Satellite/Cable but there's never been anything unmissable.

Whitstable is nice, albeit windswept. Don't forget your earwarmers!

Mickle's.

Working mainly. Got Xmas day off, so will get out on the bike that day. Working the rest of the holiday period. The 'New Year' holiday and the visit to the family begins around the 14th January.

Working until 3.00 pm on 24th, then off home to prepare and wrap prezzies until 3.00 am in the morning (standard). Up at 6.00 am so that I can spend five hours constructing an assortment of pressies for my two. Out-laws are coming for dinner. First Xmas without either my Mum or Dad, as Dad passed away this year and Mum went in 2004. Will go to the cemetery some time over the Xmas break. A bit bleak isn't it?

New Year will be at home as we have no babysitter.

 

[Pottsy]

Nepal for me, both weeks. Should be interesting.

 

[Arch]

I'll be at Mum's for Christmas, with my sister and her other half, and nephew Oli, and Oli's other granny - so that should be a bit chaotic, but lots of fun.

Back in York for New Year, although with no firm plans yet. Perhaps be round at some friend's house. I'm never quite sure about New Year - somehow the whole looking forward to the future thing never quite seems to fit with my circumstances at the time...

Or you could come to Mickle's, too
