I tend to do breakfast on Christmas day and that's more or less it, bar building complex Lego builds with a pounding head.

No lego this year though so should be ok on that front.

A proper full English of bacon, scrambled eggs, sausages, beans, mushrooms, beans and toast first thing with a bit of bucks fizz to blow some of the cobwebs away and then I hover about asking if I can help while sipping booze and picking at nuts and crisps and miniature hero's before the meal is served at some vague time later on in the afternoon.
She does it, and it's usually very good. With the help of her brother, although I'm never sure what he actually does he seems keen so **** it. Her mum brings round a criminally over cooked side of beef and some beef gravy but it's edible so can't complain.

Sometimes get to go to the pub for an hour or so but we haven't for the last couple of years so that 'tradition' seems to have dies a death.

Christmas Eve is the best day though, walk on the beach and a coffee first thing then off to a local for a meal at dinner time with a couple of pints thrown in then it's battling to get the kids to bed before I sit, usually while she's asleep on the couch, in front of the wood burner watching **** TV drinking mulled wine.

Can't ****ing wait.

I always went for something lighter so I had room for the lunchtime drinks. Bagel with smoked salmon & garlic cream cheese.

This ^

Washed down with a decent bottle of fizz to ensure the day becomes a blur from around 9.30
 
We have the main meal fairly late in the afternoon so a good breakfast is required.

I'd be starving and half cut without it.
 
" I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause " Mellencamp .
The old " A Christmas Carol " , never get tired of it .
Christmas hobby : Jumping in my trooper during snowstorms and driving around pushing stuck cars to freedom ...good exercise and it makes peoples day , you can see it on there face when you walk away ( oh ya , I'm an old boy Scout) .
Me and the better half love setting up our model Christmas village in the house .
Most of all , I like the way Christmas spirit changes even the most staunch persons personality for the better , even if its only for a month or so .
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Beer in the first minute of 2017
 
I need to start having a better breakfast, it's manic with the kids so we don't bother then I somehow end up on the fizz and the dinner is cooked while I'm half cut.

I might get some green this Christmas seeing as we're on our own, not had a smoke for nearly 10 years.

Christmas dinner might end up being cheese on toast and a pack of kitkats though
