i,ve said before ,christmas is a time of giving. i love it when people give me gifts etc,and i know it gives them enormous pleasure too.
i like to visit people i havent seen all year,have a free nosh and booze up,and slip out quietly without any one noticeing i send them all a christmas card every year mentioning my recent devastating house fire,and i then have to choose which ones are likely to have the best grub and booze. the trick is then to send them a new years day card,at the same time you ask them if they enjoyed the gift you gave them on christmas day,it never fails!

Getting up on a cold morning, sending PMS downstairs to light the fire and put on the tree lights (very nice he looks to!). Opening prezzies infront of fire, then getting dressed in new warm clothes. Keep going outside to check if its snowing.........hmmmm........something wrong.......change of plan this year.........hmmmmm.........right........... new Christmas traditions needed..........go to the beach...........putting on shorts...............cooking dinner on the barbie.........
What I will miss is the tradition of who has mum for dinner. I do prefer a piece of beef myself as mum is getting on and can be a tough old bird!

The tradition I like best is when Christmas arrives in December and not September/October/November

1) The look on the little darlings faces as they realise I had no idea what they really wanted. 2) The look on my wife's face as she unwraps sexy undies in front of the family. 3) Watching Zulu again, while my mother in law bleats about how she was happy with an orange for Christmas Day. 4) The look on Mother in Laws face when I give her the damn orange...

I'm a real softie - anything to do with Christmas and I think snowflakes falling[though I could count on one hand the times we've had snow]the tree at the side of the fireplace and all the family round- which is really a nightmare as there are 20 of us with tygs & grandtygs so it gets a bit crowded & noisy - but HEY bring it on!!

its interesting that virtually no one mentions the actual reason for christmas! it should be renamed 'christless day' your all atheist's! the whole thing is a sham nowadays...wheres the "dont forget mrs peeks christmas pudding"?we dont even get the ghost stories on christmas eve! wheres that creep noel edmonds,at least his show was christmassy! it,s just a couple of days off ..lets face it all you hear after christmas is what a load of rubbish telly was,and what a tight ******* uncle harry was,and a big queue in the store exchange department!

Rob What I love about this posting is that, had the internet been around in 1973, this answer would have appeared in response to the same question.......a true 'this generation' tradition then. You don't win brownie points though. They're all for me!

I swear to redress that balance....there's only one christmas ghost story and it's by Dickens.....but it's NOT A Christmas Carol!....20 brownie points to the one who guesses it first.
