A few unexpected jobs have popped up so pressure on now. Plenty of time though.

Booked the places to eat out, most of the booze and some of the food in. Presents all done some wrapped.
 
Have got a family funeral coming up, brother of ma in law, so essentially uncle in law to me, actual uncle to Mrs and great uncle to the kids.

My bro in law and nephews live away, so are now coming home for this and will be around at Christmas, when we thought they wouldn't be.

I think, therefore, that Christmas should this year be at theirs, as this is an extra four people. More space than anything, I'm not a tight ****er at all so the extra mouths to feed is not an issue, but the in laws have had an extension and so have a huge kitchen and dining room, we don't.

Mrs wants it at ours because all the kids will want to come up ours after, for Xbox etc. Which I don't see as a problem personally, we live just round the corner. Gives everyone loads more chill space from each other as well.

Plus, Boxing Day is then at ours, not theirs, so I can stick United v Newcastle on. They don't have Sky ffs.


It will be at the in laws Christmas day, confirmed.

Great news, means ours can be a bolt hole and we will also be at ours on Boxing day, and have Sky Sports which they don't.

Christmas Eve night is curry down the local restaurant, did that last year and was a great idea.

Christmas day a walk on the beach with the dog and then call in the local. The dog isn't great at the minute though and doesn't walk too far, but hopefully he can make it as far as the pub through the park at least.

It’s officially Christmas now Fairytale of New York has come on, I’ve told the missus she got killed by a speedboat for the 73rd time and she’s pissed off about it. She’s pissed off, not Kirsty McColl, obviously.
