I had two bottles of Bulmers earlier and I'm now on the red wine.
I'd never seen Home Alone until this week and I love it.
Tomorrow we're having champers while opening pressies and wine with dinner, then either more wine or cider that night.

I don't drink at Christmas, I know I'm funny that way but I hate seeing families drunk at Christmas.
* I mean proper drunk, not sharing one bottle of wine for dinner.

We don't drink for Christmas so it'll be a few bottles of Shloer and whatever else is around!

Seen home alone once. Back to the future isn't an xmas film for me personally. I'll be drinking bottled stout and whiskey tomorrow. Happy Christmas to you too

I'm the same. I remember a few years ago my mother, who very rarely drinks, got drunk on Christmas Day. Kind of upset me as it felt like she wasn't really there, in her drunken world.

Same, because everyone fights, gets bitchy and strive for pointless digs. Personally, in my family, it's the women.....pure and utter ****. The men are just stupid and happy

I hate family

Bought Home Alone 1 and Home Alone 2 on DVD and I'm gonna watch the second tomorrow

My mum's a bit pissed right now, which never happens. It's cute - except she wants me to sing The Rose of Tralee with her.

Some families at Xmas argue every year no mater what. Drink usually brings it on

Yup. That's what I call it.

Will head down to the Sister's house in the afternoon and guzzle few cans of Guinness, no hope of getting drunk though, she feeds ye a dinner there would choke a horse

I do. As does the rest of my family. We drink and drink till we are drunk and manage it. Its one of the few times of the year we are all together for more than 12 hours so we make the most of it. We eat loads, drink loads, talk loads, play loads of board games, watch loads of crap tv and enjoy it loads.

Loads of fun

I'm not a film person but I love Home Alone. Don't forget to watch Home Alone 2

Bulmers Berry tomorrow, saving the Rekorderlig I got for Stephen's Day when I'll need something vaguely decent to get me through family time.

We all have a few drinks at Christmas, but the alcoholic aunt (doesn't everyone have one?) isn't coming on St. Stephen's Day so it should be smoother sailing than usual.

The_Valeyard

Think a fine wine will do for Christmas dinner tomorrow.

Followed by Jager bombs on St. Stephens night.

Given that I'm awake now I'll probably need a nap tomorrow, going to wait until after that before I start drinking, always horrible to wake up after a drunk nap.

SimonQuinlank

Last two days have been on the gargle pretty hard,and will be again tomorrow once dinner in my friends (which I would avoid if I could) is out of the way.

Only redeeming factor of Christmas for me is drinking,rest is all false pretending you give a crap about people you really dislike,or keeping up with the idiot 'jones' on Facebook bull****.

I couldn't argue. The place would sell wine after hours if they know you.

My family gets on better when we drink. I'll probably go easy today, am hungover.

Had champagne and oysters on Christmas Eve afternoon at my cousins. She really pulled out all the stops!
