rach 1 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 OK my plans for tomorrow night have fallen through (long story, basically friend is ill) and I'm wondering what to do. Whether to find something else or just stay in. What will you be doing on Christmas Eve evening? (After you have eaten your Kentucky meal of course... 1 day early. ) Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Preparing to ski on Monday. It's starting to look good here. Don't forget that Christmas is the pre-Christian festival of Yule. It has nothing, other than church propoganda, to do with Christ. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Oh I know that I was just wondering what all the romantics and all are doing. Anyway, the United game is about to kick off, so I'm signing off.... Having fun with the family soubriquet? bye! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I like to get drunk on Christmas Eves. So this year will be more of the same. But first, have to go panic shopping. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'll be giving the kids pressies (here with the in laws) and having a video link up champagne do with the folks at home. Pressies because Xmas day is on the mountain! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yes rach, we're having fun. Now with some fresh snow, we'll be skiing again. Soubriquette is working 9 am to 11 pm, so nothing romantic going on here. You'd be happy with the Aston Vanilla result then? Link to post Share on other sites

Currently got the Christmas Pudding bubbling away on the stove - soaked the fruit overnight in about half a litre of rum, so the aroma is fantastic! We're a very multicultural family, so today is made up of cooking for tomorrow's (Christmas Day) lunch table. We'll have: Roasts (chicken & pork); curries (chicken & beef); seafood; Russian, Vietnamese and Jewish foods, probably some Thai; and all the usual sweets/desserts. For me, the presents come a distant second! Probably watch some crapo quality TV tonight or a DVD, muck around on the computer, then fall into bed. (I envy you lucky sods who've got snow - Sydney has humid wet weather ... which is a nice change to 35-40C!) Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Good to hear! Very happy with the result yes. They played rubbish in the first half but it seems Mr Fergie got his hairdryer out at half time That Scholes goal was pure class! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Well, those of you who miss having a traditional Christmas pudding will be very glad to hear that soubriquette brought one home this lunchtime. Made with her own fair hands to an English recipe. Yum Link to post Share on other sites

nzlegend 1 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Xmas eve was a big party of mostly international families at my mates house who was a chef in his past life and he put on a bloody good feed, perfect except for perhaps the lack of a Turkey but beggars cant be choosers! All the kids played merrily and the adults got liquored up, excellent! Link to post Share on other sites
