I am going to my stepmum for a nice family gathering, sipping till my hearts content. I love the pampering sesssion food, drinking and seeing all your family members (you love dearly!!). As you get older, you realise how special it is to see everyone, more so with my nan of 90 there as well. So looking forward to it. certinaly brings it home when you realise how everyone is growing old and how special thoughs times are together. :)
going to my sister's house, where we'll have a big family gathering... loads of nice food and drink, followed by proper old fashioned board games, culminating in a extremely competitive session of the really nasty horseracing game :)

been to kempton a couple of times, terrible meeting to attend imo, can't move or get a decent view anywhere, plus you can't have a drink unless you've got someone to drive... channel 432 for me all the way

I remember the boxing day game last season - you should have been 6-0 up at half time. We somehow scored 2 then threw a 2 goal lead away :(
Ruined my christmas.

Indeed, Zat Knight saved the day. And you scraped a spawny 1-1 the season before. With a bit of luck you soon won't have any players left and Wenger will be in goal.

Family revelry at folks with big family, very competitive Who wants to be a Millionaire quiz which my dad always wins (and my mum acts as Mr Tarrant for fear of being humiliated). Arguments and bragging rights aplenty amongst sibblings (5 of us!)
Then have to drive 200 miles to drop my daughter off at my exes on Boxing Day :( Scoot back up to watch Liverpool play v Wolves. See friends, get drunk and then lock myself in New Years eve playing poker in my undercrackers. Oh and loads of quality grub!
If I am feeling christmassy I may make my once a year pilgrimage to mass, stick £20 in the collection to apease him upstairs :)

charwell, if you are gambling in your undercrackers I reckon it will cost you more than a score in the collection plate to save you from eternal damnation!

8:00am - Up out of bed, downstairs for a cup of tea 8:30am - Open my presents 8:31am - present opening finished 8:32am - Clean up wrapping paper 9am - Fish around the house for about 150 batteries. Followed by some toast 12pm - Drink copious amounts of alcohol in the front room watching Mary Poppins. Can only watch one channel as the remote has sacrificed it's batteries earlier in the day and i'm too tired to get up. Meanwhile Mum's in the kitchen stuffing a big bird 3pm - Eat dinner, drink wine, pull crackers, sit in a dopey paper hat etc etc.. 5pm - Crash out for an hour. 6pm till bed - Alcohol, sing songs, dad will get the guitar out, Buzz quiz competition, singstar competition, more alcohol, cheeselets and twiglets, then finally collapse into bed.
As our family is all together there will inevitably a massive row at some point, probably revolving around my dad's flatulence and his insistence on blamng it on my nan. Not sure when this will be though, but i'm guessing after dinner.
