Actually 11.00 champagne (well, fizz of some sort) with smoked salmon on wheaten bread.

This is one of the wife’s family traditions I can definitely get behind.

Not sure if it was any better in the 70s/80s
There was better Xmas sitcoms,but not much else afair

Anyway,if any visitors turn up,I’ll stick my Terry and June box set on til they go

Bring back the phantom flanflinger, that is some godawful telly

Sparkling Shiraz with Bacon & Black Pudding Omelettes for breaky late morning.

Half Lobster Marie Rose and Sauv. Blanc for brunch.

To neighbour’s for lunch this year and whatever they give us. Beer isn’t an issue (neighbour has good taste), but we WILL be taking a couple of decent red wines just in case.

Return to our sofa to slump in a stupor.

Music to be decided.

On the strength of that, If I owned a TV, I’d sell it.

Meanwhile, I can’t find the original post but I still have the one on the right kicking around in the garage from last Christmas

because I have no friends.

One way or another it’s going down this time around.

For the last three years I have worked it, and the only thing I enjoy about Christmas, my mums roast, has been saved for me.
Which has been ideal, none of the family stuff but all of the food.

This year very depressingly I’m not working so have to deal with family, and my sister is cooking and it’s not a roast…… :rage:
