Tips for enjoying Christmas ?

[kingrollo]

Not that I don't enjoy it. A few days off work giving a receiving presents etc.

Do you just relax and go with the flow ? - or should you organise things like quizzes , board games etc

One tip I will pass on if you have children is to take a day outside over Xmas - some fresh air and not being couped up inside 24/7 does everyone good.

Any other tips ?

Eat and drink as much as you can. There's always a load of good stuff being served up and lying about at Christmas.

Personally I'd have said do the opposite !

Ignore it as much as humanly possible in my case.

We're going with the flow - all mucking in to do Christmas Din Dins for about 14 round at my parents ! We're all cooking separate parts of the meal.

Lots of walks, and cycling if the weather allows.

Eat normally and avoid the television ads and seasonal programmes.

Enjoy our son's company during his holiday.

Pretend you have covid so you can enjoy a relaxing time with the people you care about whilst ignoring everyone else

Avoiding children like the other 364 days of the year 🤣

Limit present giving and receiving. My family have undertaken a mutually agreed cull of gift giving in recent years and we feel much better for it.
I would rather receive nothing than a £20 gift that I don’t want or need.
Christmas is about people and not about presents.

An idea for you.
No one tells anyone what they are preparing. This will work well. Just think of the possibilties..........
Deep fried fish with rice pudding.
Turkey with tuna on the side
Roast spuds with jelly
The exciting list is endless.
BTW.........no need to thank me

Just ignore it and carry on as normal, it'll be over in a couple of days.

We just don't do it really. Just do what you want, its your time.
I struggle with 2-3 months of run up to whats just a Sunday dinner really. Crazy.
