Hey everyone.
First off; sorry I was a bit quiet last week. With it being the first week of December and all, it was the start of the rush to try and get everything sorted ready for Christmas, so I was understandably busy.
Nevertheless, I think that it gives me a good springboard to start the first thread in our general discussion area
What are everyone's plans for xmas? I would assume that even if you don't follow the tradition yourself, the general situation around the holiday period with most people being off work would give you some scope to do something for yourself anyway, so I'm interested to see what people are going to be up to this year.As for myself, I'll be experiencing my first Christmas after having my girlfriend move in with me, so in exchange for the rather simple tradition of staying at my mums on Christmas eve through to Boxing day, with a short visit to her parents on the day itself to exchange gifts, it's turning out to be a rather more complicated affair with trying to balance time for a Christmas of our own in our own home, with equal visits to both families
How about you lot?
nothing beats a good Turkey dinner (with the obligatory pigs in blankets, or small sausages wrapped in bacon for the uninitiated) - which likewise ends up lasting long enough to make Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce sandwiches for at least a week
