    Can relate to the bauble, we try and find a decoration of some kind from the Christmas markets we visit, had to get a bigger tree last year and once we get the kitchen extension done next year, I fear a second tree may well be added to the fold... Ah well keeps the missus sweet... And I get a turkey dinner for putting the tree up... Maybe I'd get two for a second tree!

    We buy a bauble from every place we have visited. Not always spheres e.g. tram car from San Francisco, troll from Iceland, Apple from New York and bells from Dubrovnik, Krakow and Prague.

    Inexplicably, we have a pan of mushy peas on the hob as a type. Only my dad and uncle will eat them but it has to be done every Christmas.

    Midnight mass. Home for sherry and mince pies. Sleep until 10 am. Prepare the dinner and have a G+T, watch the Queen. Dinner served immediately afterwards. Lazy evening until we feel like Christmas cake and a few Armagnac.

    Just out of interest... How many actually watch the queens speech? Always been something I've purposefully avoided ever since I had charge of the remote

    Drink steadily all day, chip in with a bit of help with the dinner, presents late morning, meal at 3, then the kitchen becomes my domain. Music on, sort the plates, pans, glasses and that. Keep the family’s drinks topped up while slowly working my way through a bottle of 2014 Rex Mundi Shiraz Grenache. Then join the family and fall asleep in front of the **** telly. Match tomorrow. Back in work Thursday. It’ll do me.

    "Midnight mass. Home for sherry and mince pies. Sleep until 10 am. Prepare the dinner and have a G+T, watch the Queen. Dinner served immediately afterwards. Lazy evening until we feel like Christmas cake and a few Armagnac."

    Apart from not attending Midnight mass or watching the Queen and replacing Armagnac with Grappa and Slvovitz,that is pretty much what I do. So does that make me a liberal, or what?? (No rude words please as it IS Christmas!)
