    So what's it to be lads - mass or selection box? Who goes for the traditional fry up or who goes for the more alternative dutch gold breakfast? Who gets up to see the joy on the kids faces or who wants to go downstairs to tell them to shut the fcuk up as you're trying to sleep off a hangover?:)

    Nah, go to midnight mass and no need to go the following morning.
    Definitly a higher attendance at midnight mass then Christmas Day mass in my experience

    Mass in the morning because that's when the hot girls are there and I don't have to listen to the drivel. Then home to presents if we go to mass. Then eat myself stupid. Three dinners or four, hmmmmm

    Get up at 8am. Grilled bacon and sausage on toast.

    Leave at 10am for mother in laws. Deposit brilliant presents and collect ****y presents(possibly more knock off DVD's again).

    Head to Grandmothers - give good presents and get box of sweets.

    Go to mothers. Have dinner and possibly have a nap afterwards.

    Head home. Eat crap for the rest of the night. We were shopping today and bought stuff specifically for gorging on Christmas night.

    I was about to ban him for 2 weeks, lucky for him he ran into somebody more forgiving.

    Over to my cousin's house for breakfast at about 12.
    Exchange presents there.
    Possibly a few beers if I'm in the mood.

    Back home at about 3 for a couple of hours sleep.

    Over to another cousin's for dinner and crap loads of beer.

    Wake up to "aghhhhhhhhh its really really Christmas" shouts from my 4 yr old (pretty please God not before 6am). Flit to sitting room. Watch the chaos that is small children ripping open presents. Glow in the warmth of love for about 5 mins, then kettle, coffee, smoke, while they murder each other over who actually got what.

    Tidy up, feed the monsters, shower, stuff the beast, movie madness, dinner around 3 ish i hope. Kids passed out by six o clock... hopefully follow them about ten.

    All in work will be a rest the following day :D

    Having to listen to my mother moan at my beside for over doing it in the local on christmas eve.

    Nursing this horrible hangover as I get out of bed like i've been snatched from the womb.

    Open my 'surprise' present - a 6 pack of tanga briefs from Penneys or some variation of this.

    Get cracking on the dinner, trying not to puke cos of the smell of farty vegetables.

    Eat too much

    Drink too much

    Fall asleep on the couch watching re runs of only fools and horses.

    Aaaaah - Christmas.:)

    Get woken up suffering from a vicious hangover.
    Do the presents thing. Go back to bed.
    Wake up at the crack of noon, spend the day watching Frasier.

    If you can find internet, I would hazard a guess that there may be food somewhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    Get up about 10

    Get a fry

    Go to mass (family tradition, priest is as funny as hell, we get a birthday cake in mass, WTF?)

    Come home, open presents

    Get Xmas dinner, OMG nicest dinner ever

    Visit some friends

    May or may not drink, depends if I am driving, end up playing cards somewhere or getting severly bored.

    Bed.

    This year will be different because it'll be my first year as santy, but I imagine it'll go like this.
    Up at 9ish for a fry. Open presents, mass at 11, then off to the in laws for more pressies before my sisters for dinner at 3. Off to play cards and a feed of beer then for the night before a Chinese delivery late on to ward away the hunger. Looking forward to it now!
