[msncry] You lucky thing[msncool] Have a great time[msnwink]
After a really hectic Christmas day, when I will have spent most of it in the kitchen cooking for 14, we will be going to my Brothers house to be pampered there!!!![msnwink][msnwink]
....don't like the thought of the dip in the sea[msneek]
Up here in Yorkshire, around our area, it is a big tradition on Boxing Day for the local "hunts" to meet at the local pubs in all their finery, horses looking really regal...although this year don't know whether they'll play the whole thing down with all the media attention on banning actual "fox" hunting!!

There are just the 4 (wife, me, No1 son who is 22 and No 2 son who is 20) of us on Xmas day. Lay in, do pressys, have brecky at 10:30, laze around, play a few games then about 7pm have chinese and lots of plonk. Boxing day there will be 10 of us for a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings plus plenty of liquid refreshment.
My youngest has just moved into his own home with his partner, we will be going there on Boxing Day. First time since we moved away from tne North 20 years ago that we have had "family" to go to. We are really looking forward to it.

After a hectic Christmas Day, where I will be cooking for the extended family, we chill out! Play games with the children, have a good look at all their presents with them and just relax. In the evening,we will probably go round to our best friends of many years for a lazy, easy evening.
For many years on Boxing Day, we travelled to my in-laws for the afternoon and evening-the children hated it. We put a stop to it last year and it was a much nicer to do what WE wanted.
Usually spend Boxing Day at my friends house, eating leftover Xmas dinner, Xmas cake and cheese [msntongue]
Playing with her son and all his new games and toys....
Boxing Day this year is my friends 50th birthday so will also be having a little celebration [beer]

bless them!!! i do admire people who like to be a little different at times!!!

Didn't know if I wanted to open this thread or not - I knew there would be some lucky people jetting off to Florida![msntongue]
Christmas day in our house is very exciting as I have a 4 year old so we do the whole Santa thing! She is soooooooo excited - already! (10 sleeps didn't you know???!!!). Then we will go to my Mums late afternoon after dinner and see friends and family there. We usually have a relaxing night on Christmas night after she goes to bed and have a few glasses of wine but not for me this year as I am expecting! Maybe a spritzer if I am brave!
Boxing day will be spent going out to lunch with the inlaws and then a very quiet night - probably eating chocolate!!!!
Looking forward to it! (but still v jealous about the florida trips!)
