I take it you are not overly excited about Christmas then Nightmare. Sounds like your Christmas is quite calm Thornaby, rather different from most of us.

Dont make a big deal of it nowadays, and even less of New Year.
I always like to have a little dig in the garden on New Years morning, superstition about letting the first foot into the ground.

Do you have a full English?

I ask this because we always have our family round for a Christmas breakfast (full English) but when I tell other people this they look at me funny. Would be nice if someone else did a Christmas breakfast.

Anyway, we've had variations in recent years, but the most common tradition is my dad cooking a full English breakfast for about 9. My Auntie, Uncle, Cousin, Grandma, Brother and his Girlfriend come to ours for this breakfast. When I was younger we got up really early to open all the presents, but I think we'll be leaving presents until after breakast.

Then about 4ish, we go round to my Auntie's house for Christmas dinner. We usually stay there until late playing games and stuff.

I always want a full english but it never happens. One of my friends does it though so you're not the only one.

by **thornabyred** Mon 7 Dec - 7:45:26

Only day of the year for a full english.
Eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, beans, fried toms,black pudding and fried bread.
