The Christmas Thread

We’re hosting Christmas for the first time, got loads of food and (more importantly) drink, and done most of the prep work for the cooking already. Should be a good laugh. 10 humans, 4 dogs, two of whom have already had their festive photo taken this morning:

Merry Christmas all, hope you have a great day.

Highlight for us as always is watching the Queen's speech, god bless you Liz

 

Me, Mrs Romeo and the 2 boys for Christmas dinner, fist time in years there has been no extended family here.

 

Hope everyone even the **** has a great time surrounded by people they love.

 

Merry Christmas.

Happy Birthday Jesus

Lol

Reminded me of a time when tasked to set the Christmas dinner table.  Knew something was missing but could not quite figure what. 

2 mins later she walked in to find a Toy Story "Happy Birthday" banner pinned to the wall with a sheet of A4 and the name "Jesus" in marker pen sellotaped to it. 

Her mother who was a churchy type said I was going to hell.

Well, even at Christmas you sometimes need that wee conversation starter which differs from "How many pairs of socks did you get?" or "Are your sprouts soft enough?" (insert Kenneth Williams type image here).

Have a great day to one and all. 

And if you are spending with a meal for one, remember you are not really alone, you are a member of the P&B family...as dysfunctional as we may be.

Not surprised you are getting no visitors if that is the party games you play once the kids have been sent to bed ;)

Best part of babysitting your mob was Honey, she was a lovely mutt! Best wishes to you and yours Dumbo!

Flew to Poland today to visit her family.  As today is their gift giving and meal day she suggested I fly dressed as Santa (I own a suit as do few things for kids charities). 
TBH I was a bit unsure but as I doubt I would ever get the chance to do it again I went for it big time, suit, wellies, even my hand luggage was a santa sack.  Actually turned out to be fun.  
The faces on kids in the airport were a joy, took an age to get to the gate due to bairns, adults and staff asking for selfies.  I even had sweets to hand out (with the permission of parents before anybody comments).
Random allocated seats meant I was given row 1 while she was up in a row 16.  Boarded the plane and the captain appeared asking for a photo.  Said he was going to send it to his son and tell him he was helping Santa delivering presents.
Near the end the cabin crew asked if they could get a photo and just as we finished this absolute weapon strode up the aisle in wet-look leggings that left little to the imagination and asked for a hug and a selfie.  How could one refuse?  Well that was my excuse to her back in row 16.
As I sat back down a member of the crew thanked Santa for flying Ryanair and then some people started singing jingle bells.  Polish guy next to me said nothing all flight and just as we hit the tarmac he turned to me and said "Santa, can I get a selfie?"
Even the guy on passport control only asked for a peek at my face as did not want to burst the Santa myth to the kids in the queue.
Big family gathering all done, kids bought into their surprise guest with gifts.
Hope everybody has a day as good as mine.

Lovely wee read to begin Christmas Day !! [emoji1335][emoji1335][emoji1335][emoji1335][emoji1335]
Wishing you all a happy time, free from stress, internecine warfare and bad hangovers.

Has that big jobby-filled black lab just scoffed all the turkey ? [emoji1335]


He hasn’t done anything apart from stink to f**k and get in my way, the children and my gf are being particularly annoying. I have come up to bed for a nap, not sure how long I’ll get to myself.

She's working, we're not going out until later. I'm here on my todd watching and eating what I want in blissful solitude. You'd love it!
