    How to spend Christmas

    After seeing a comment left by Tillyfloss on another thread about Christmas i was wondering what the members of the site will be doing over the festive season.

    I will be cooking my Christmas lunch outside on the BBQ, using the rotisserie. yes I know its a gas BBQ and not traditional but I use it to cook a lot of meals to help keep the house cool. We will probably cook a couple of chickens and serve with salad and a finger buffet. Only the good lady myself and possibly the step daughter, so it will basically be a quiet Christmas for us....

    So what is everyone else doing

    We will be having a proper turkey dinner this year for the 1st time in 3 years but with a few variations I think, veggies done on the barbie...

    I'm hoping its not going to be too hot on the day so we can get outdoors....play a few games etc/get in the pool

    Christmas Eve picnic on the beach for sunset

    Boxing Day, barbeque buffet I think

    For some reason I was expecting you to say, "Turkey dinner with all the trimmings and a couple of bottles of beer. A Greek Taverna just does not seem right!!!!! Have a great day and let us know how it turns out...

    Home day for us, we wont be moving far from the pool as longs as it doesnt mimic last year and pee down most of the day!! Gary normally has a Hugeeeeeeee T bone whilst me and the kids will be having Turkey,,, it doesnt feel like Xmas cause its soo hot so having Turkey helps keep the 'chrismassy' feel.

    I'm not sure yet, we were hoping to be having Christmas with some good friends in England but plans have been set back. Probably just a quiet affair at home depending on the weather.
    Soon to be back in the undisputed NUMBER 1 country in the world.....ENGLAND.
