    Just wondering what traditions peoples have here for Christmas Day or indeed what new ones are you creating if you've broken away to start your own new family ? Swim in the sea, champagne breakfast, midnight mass, presents opened throughout the day, fish instead of turkey?

    I've developed the tradition of Christmas morning breakfast- French toast, bacon and maple syrup with sparkling wine:D

    6 cans of cider for breakfast, a few benzos in the afternoon and then topped off at dinner with a couple of bottles of cough syrup.

    Big family fight after the dinner. It wouldn't be Christmas without it.

    On a serious note .. .



    Avoid the mother when she is prepping the Christmas dinner. Lovely lady for the whole year, but you go near the kitchen on Christmas before it's time and she turns into a right battleaxe.

    Do any of you go to pubs? a few friends of mine do every year after dinner, in the side door of the local pub. I personally don't as I prefer to spend the day with family (well I probably would go but my mother and father wouldn't be very impressed)

    I always wonder why the owner does it, like Jesus it's one of the only two days in the year they have off. :pac:

    Wake up at some time around 10-11am. Eat the breakfast left out for me and then wait for everyone else to come back from mass. Then its just the usual dinner, do nothing for ages and eventually open presents.

    It certainly used to happen years ago for regulars in country pubs; tradition and all that. Haven't experienced it in recent years though, I wonder does it happen at all these days. It was harmless even back in the day, just friends meeting up Christmas morning for a drink, nothing major; in my experience.

    Get up and lick the smoken salmon, fapping, followed by drinking emetic and castor oil, then a tray of zimmos. Get up when all the fighting is over, going straight for the trifle and lumping it on top of my turkey.

    Wake up at 10, go to the fridge in my boxers for a can, go back to bed to drink the can, have a shower, visit granny's, drink some more, go home, drink more, eat dinner, drink more, sleep off the drunkness, watch Eastenders, watch Australian cricket.
