Christmas Day

Terrier2009 wrote:For the last couple of years I have spent Christmas at my boyfriends. This year shall be the same. It tends to involve getting up about 9 and then opening the presents (youngest goes first - which is me lol) and then once all thats done my boyfriends mum sorts out some of the dinner. Then about 11 the grandparents arrive and we have a sherry before our massive Christmas dinner (I don't like it so my boyfriend ends up with 2!!). After dinner we watch a bit of tv usually involving the Queen's speech and everyone has a nap apart from my boyfriend. In the evening we have a buffet tea and the rest of the family comes round for a bit before we all go to bed. Lol.

For me its up early open all the presents then get ready for the drive to Halifax where my Brother lives and meet up with my Mother and sometimes my Sister, Dinner is Traditional and then its sit down in front of the telly watch the Queens Speach, usually leave Halifax around 7pm drop my mother and the Dog back off at Goole then head back to Thorne watch the Telly for an hour then walk down to the Inlaws where Vikkis dad gets me pissed every year, he buys a load of Lager in and makes sure i sup the lot, have a bite to eat there then back home around 1ish in the morning bit more telly then Bed. same every Year..

Terrier2009 wrote:Yeah Halifax is very like that. Everywhere looks the same to me too and I live there. I know what you mean about the family thing as well. I think we shall end up at my boyfriends every year too even when we have a place of our own I can't imagine her coming to us because of the grandparents coming round. Mind you like you said at least we don't have to do the washing up. I don't do it know it's always my boyfriend and his brother normally. Think the dishwasher might be used this year though
