mrs tree Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 am having a traditional christmas dinner - don't ask me how it works as i hate:- turkey, cranberry sauce, brussel sprouts, xmas pudding, xmas cake and stuffing But i like the rest like:- parsnips, roast potatoes, carrot and swede mashed, all the sweets and chocolates.Well christina thats 4 portions of veg so not that unhealthyI am staying at home with hubby and havin a very traditional christmas.. hubby is a pagan so we also celebrate Yule which is 23rd of december and I always get a pressie for yule so i make christmas last.We don't have a tree yet but when we do it will be silver and lillac so many houses round here are decorated so OTT with lights outside..i just don't get it I would worry about my lecky bill if I did that..and I also want to see the decorations I have bought not show them off to the worldMrs Tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realscape Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Lovely tree! I'm not doing Xmas but have been invited to lunch with a jewish friend's family. Did the my family all together thing once (like lifetrap) a few years ago and it was absolute disaster. My sister was doing the happy families pretence and we all accidentally went along with it. My dad behaved like total twat he always was and it reminded everyone why we don't do it normally. Never ever again. Before I got ill I used to travel every winter, either beach hols or skiing. Those were the days - best ever day spent on beach on tiny island in south pacific. Not religious and don't even believe in it anyway, its totally commercial as Ffox says. Respect and best wishes to those who are participating anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzannah Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 For me it's Chanukkah and I will be on my own with a bottle of Baileys, my two doggies to cuddle and I will go and visit my horse, watch cheesy films (hopefully a James Bond), chat on the net and eat too much chocolate.Swan - where do you live if you don't mind me asking?

Little Creature Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 *** MAY BE AWFULLY TRIGGERING ***I will spend Xmas Eve with my husband faking that I luuuuuuv Xmas, then on the 25th: REUNION WITH THE IN-LAWS, there are zillions of loud brats bugging around and after the reading of the Bible (no kidding) the aforementioned brats show their (not) progress with their musical instruments. So it's about 45 minutes listening to bad played fiddle, flute, piano. Then come the Himn singing (puke), and then the presents.Last year I got chocolates (I don't eat chocolate, AND THEY KNOW IT) and a movie in French, which I don't speak, with German subtitles, which I don't speak neither.There is no dinner, and the first year I had the stupid idea of bringing a cake; when they asked me why a cake I said: "well, it's Jesus' birthday, right?" Now they made the tradition of ACTUALLY SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JESUS. It makes me want to be sedated in a hospital.Oh, and they chit-chat in Swiss dialect, not even bothering to speak to me in English or at least High German.I really miss when I stayed in my flat in Argentina, alone with a bottle of champagne and a stack of sandwiches watching the fireworks from my 8th floor, enjoying the summer night.Gosh, right now I don't know why the f*** I accepted to move here.

InnerPeace Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 This is my first Christmas in 8 years with an ounce of stability to it and I was out of work for the last 3...nothing like trying to find Christmas spirit when you're worried about becoming homeless. It will be me, my daughter and my ex-husband at home for Christmas and I'm really looking forward to it. My daughter is asking questions and it could be the last year that she believes in Father Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lloydy Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 christmas, i can't believe that it's crept up on me so quickly.we will be having a traditional christmas dinner as usual but reading one of the other posts, it does occur to me that i would much rather have a nice joint of beef, (though we have that most sunday's.)we have my parents coming for christmas day and then julies tribe for boxing day. iv'e suggested that the kids invite some friends over on xmas day evening for a bit of a party. feels a bit selfish but i would rather that they were at our house.i'm feeling really pleased with myself as iv'e baked a christmas cake. this is the first cake that i've EVER baked so fingers crossed. if it tastes a good as the mixture that i licked out of the bowl then i will be well pleased.i can't say that i'm realy looking forward to christmas and i'm sure that some of you are dreading it, but just think, we can't stop it from happening so i pray that it's not too bad for any of youlove and light to you alllloydy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
