Me too, mum dad, brother and his lady.
Get up later than I did when I was little(coz Im all growd up now)leisurely have some breakfast, get dressed, as official present distributer no presents can be opened til I have handed them out, open prezzies, go ooh and ahh and say my thank yous.
Food, drink, leftovers, more food, more drink, Queens speech, Bond film, 50 year old repeated christmas film, small sherry, ahhh its all over.

Me too, that's always been my job at Christmas, think it must be cos I'm the youngest

We're spending xmas day at my parents and then going away for a few days to a nice hotel to chill - not sure where yet so any suggestions gratefully receieved.

[Seahorse]

In the UK or abroad Natty?

[nattynetty]

In this country - as it's only for a couple of nights preferably somewhere within 2-3 hours drive from Cambridge

At the in-laws for Christmas and then to my parents on Boxing day. My sister will have just got back from a 4 month trip so we will have lots of catching up to do! I'm official present distributor too!

We move round the corner (quite literally!) to my parents. Bigger house...lots more sweets etc!!..
Christmas day begins with our music group leading the christmas day service. This year Eden is dancing (weepy me!).
I too am the official present distributer.... Now either we are all mugs or we are very special people... not sure which.
My sister and her boyfriend are coming up and also my mums "new" sister is coming too. (mum didn't grow up with the rest of her family and only recently met her sister) My brother and his family are coming up on boxing day... new baby in tow so it's broody time for me!

[Peter]

I shall be daubing myself in bat's blood, finding a leafy glade, and howling at the moon......................naked................... ....maybe................or I might just stick a turkey crown in the oven.

Hurrah!

That sounds like a fun Christmas Peter..unfortunately I will be flying off to go a Carribean cruise on th 17th. It will be hard..sitting on my balcony as the cruise ship glides on it's way to the Cayman Islands..but I will put up with it!!
Can't wait..just have to get all the work stuff tied up and then I can kiss old blighty goodbye for a couple of weeks.

Oh, there are some striking similarities about our Christmas's here! Except it's my sister who has the baby. I don't need to get broody this year as I have a baby bump myself this year! Also Christmas isn't Christmas for our family without a sing along to 'Muppet's Christmas Carol'. This year Dad has written out all the words - he had too much time on his hands

What do you play? I'm the bassist in our church music group; sometimes they let me turn it up quite loud!! But probably not so much on Christmas morning!

Quite jealous of that cruise there though Funkyhand - have a wonderful time!

I'm a singer. Wish I could play something, Not that tallanted though!
we give the vicar a service off to sit with his wife for christmas day and we are allowed to do what ever we want... quite forward thinking for a village church! This year we are basing the service around the song "mary did you know"

Lucky you being pregnant... when he/she coming to play?
Bet playing the bass gets quite difficult with a bump out in front!

[euston-74]

We love singers in our group, can't get enough of them. I took some lessons this year but I don't sing all that often as it's hardly fair when I'm already playing.
You are right about the bass/bump problem. I think Christmas may have to be my swansong for a while! I'm already playing sitting down! Bump is arriving at the end of April, I can't wait!
