Away for Xmas Yes or No.

[Simon Bolivar]

I am off the rig early this yr, so no panic about getting home on time (last yr didn't get home til 1930 on the 24th, now that's cutting it fine).
After attending local church with daughter, we're off to best friends deep in the Belgian countryside for lunch, which consists of many light courses & eventually merges into dinner. I am planning to smoke several small sticks inbetween the early courses & a RA '80's stix to round the evening off. Just hope the weather & roads will be OK or the wife won't drive....

Xmas at my sister's in Washington D.C for me. Really nice to spend it with family and kids, loadsa grub, loadsa movies, NFL. Only downside is, I have to smoke on her doorstep....hope there ain't 2 feet of snow this year

however I will more than likely be putting up flat packed goods from Mamas and papas as our first child is due in February, but I'm also sure I'll be fitting a fair few cigars around my breaks.....can't wait......

Welcome to the club, we got the contents of John Lewis and Mamas and Papas and emptied them into our place

Always spent with family and friends throughout the holidays with the obvious Christmas cheer (which could include the odd bottle of Riesling now I'm into wine only took 31 years), however I will more than likely be putting up flat packed goods from Mamas and papas as our first child is due in February, but I'm also sure I'll be fitting a fair few cigars around my breaks.....can't wait......

Xmas is a great time of year for me i never really grow up!! still enjoy it as much now as when i was a nipper.
We tend to have the family at our place at xmas always busy but i wouldnt have it any other way like most i plan to do the usual eat, drink lots and smoke away over the holidays im already planning what my xmas cigars will be

I'll be travelling all the way to Henley for a couple of nights @ the Hotel Du Vin (4th year in a row). Christmas Eve & Day with my wife, mother, brother and a few good sticks.

No points for guessing where my bro & I will be spending most of our time!

Usually at home with a large crowd of kids past and present (13+ or -), only 2 who have my DNA, son and grandson.

I think I'd love to go away for Christmas!
I hate the cold and short days. Christmas is just another party time really. I don't feel it's that special at all.

rushing around like a blue-arsed fly trying to fit in everyone so that we aren't favouring one set of parents over the other.

Very familiar!

You make me laugh.

Home for Xmas and looking forward to relaxing with friends and family, eating too much, drinking way too much and smoking some quality cigars.

Nice one Criag. This what I am also going to do! Eat, drink, smoke.. Life is good..

[Stevieboy]

I'm in retail so Xmas holidays are usually a hard fight to get but this year I'm off from the 24th to the 4th and intend to follow the exact pattern as prescribed by Whisk up above....food, films, sweeties and booze'n'smokes. Cannae wait

Just me,Susie and my two lovely weans....I think this will be the last year the wee one really believe in Santa as she's asking lots of questions...quite sad about this tbh
