    I'm starting to feel like that with the Marks and Spencers one! Plus those Wii ones and the X-Box and the Playstation...WE GET IT!! YOU WANT US TO BUY THE POXY THINGS!

    Um, back to the topic. Traditional for me, but I'm not a huge roast dinner fan, so I'd probably cook Italian. The cat would be chasing the baubles, I'd be chasing Chris with a bit of mistletoe and yes, lots of friends and family!

    As it is, it will be me, Chris and MIL/FIL slaving/farting respectively.

    Boxing Day will be detox beans on toast for dinner for me and OH only. We did that last year and felt really naughty for not having a big dinner, tee hee!

      I keep threatening to serve up turkey, chips and gravy. At least they would all eat it instead of the 'works'.
      I'm working a late Boxing Day so it'll be grazing on whatever nibbles are about on the ward.

        I don't like Christmas, Bah Humbug!

          I love Christmas! Definitely a traditional fan though, will be visiting my boyfriends parents for Christmas eve and first half of Christmas day, then ater lunch will drive to my parents for the rest of Christmas and Boxing day. They only live an hour and a half apart so its not too difficult!

          At my parents we all took turns to open one present at a time, that way everyone could see what you got, I was youngest so I always got to go first!

          Definitely like homemade presents though, last year I did a pencil drawing of my parents and put it in a frame and the year before I spent a month handmaking a papermache bowl with a snail on it! Made lots of Your Oaty biscuits as presents this year, Happybunny!

            HB - I've made your Oaty Biscuits too and I have only three words to say to you: Yum Yum Yum!!!

            What a good idea to make them for presents as Jenegade said - that's if I make enough to stop me eating them before I wrap them.

              i'd love to have a proper traditional christmas - snow, family, loads of pressies, fun etc

              but it's just me and the dog this year - i'm home alone
              my son comes back from his mother's on boxing day

              i'm semi dreading being home alone christmas day - i spent 6 months on dating sites and still very single - but hey, it's just another day ........... another day that i'll be looking back wishing things had been different and my life hadn't been so screwed up .....

              boxing day onwards should be good tho - my son will get together with his mates and they'll all be in and out till they go back to school .....

                Could you look on Boxing Day as being your Christmas Day - like, Christmas is on December 26th just for this year?

                Hope it works out OK for you.

                  Where have the hidden you, Child of the manger,
                  Child of my childhood and seal of my soul?
                  They have wrapped me in tinsel and sold me at counters,
                  Tuning my song to the ring of their tills.
                  Sing high with the holly and low with the berry,
                  All will be gathered around my green tree.

                  Where will I find you then, Child of the manger,
                  Child of my childhood and seal of my soul?
                  You will find me as ever with blind and with beggar,
                  The lame and the prisoner, the broken in heart.
                  At home with the homeless, I dine with the outcast
                  And if you receive them then there shall I be.
                  Sing high with the holly and low with the berry,
                  All will be gathered around my green tree!
