2 weeks today WOOP ;d
So this time in 2 weeks what will you be doing now?
I will probably be at my Grandparents for christmas tea with my Dad and his side of the family after spending the morning and having christmas dinner with my Mum and some really close family friends
Boxing day is good too as we go watch Greyhound racing then have a party
Between about 11.00pm (Xmas Eve) and 12.30am (Xmas Day) doing the Santa bit and retrieving pressies hidden all over the sodding house and in garage.
12.30am to about 2.00am on Xmas Day - opening and doing some serious damage to a selected present from my wife (it will be a single malt whisky)
6.00am - daughter will wake us up politetly enquiring if she can go down stairs......I'll respond with "Piss off till 7.00 - go play with all those games etc. you had last year and have never played"
6.03am - wife will say "Are you going to make a cup of tea?"
I'll swear at her too at this point - but accepting that 4 hours kip is all that I'm going to get I'll get up and make a brew.
6.05am - daughter's sat by her pile (well she thinks it's her and at this point won't disappoint her and re-direct her to my insignificant pile of pressies)
6.30am (love this bit - wake the 17 and 15 year old lads - and tell them to get their lazy asses down stairs).
7.15am - Midway through the mayhem (videoed by the missus) I crack open the champagne
8.00am - dead bottle - living room looks like an explosion in a wrapping paper factory. Lads already started on their chocolate - dog wants a shite - and daughter is trying on the Xmas clothes she'e been bought!
8.15am - second bottle of bubbly opened. Boys upstairs on new Xbox Games - daughter now messing with new make-ups. Dog has had a shit and I enjoy a ciggie or two
9.30am - wrapping paper and packaging binned. Boys asleep - wife does some breakfast - daughter now wants to PLAY with everything she's received (more plastic, more cardboard, and those horrible little plastic ties that make it impossible to get a toy out of its box)
10.00am - Wive retires upstairs - and festive CD's blast out. Glass topped up she's embarking on the major mission to get ready and dressed for Xmas Day dinner. Takes daughter with her!
10.01am - Roaster samples one of his Xmas malts and finishes general tidy up. Checks out new PS game and settles down for an hour.
11.20am - wife moans cos I'm not yet dressed etc.
11.30am - Roaster showers, shaves and dressed
11.45am - finishes second (or maybe 3rd scotch) and herds family down the road to GfJ
12.10pm onwards - lots of laughs, fine foods, wine and spirits until I have to herd the drunken mob the 30 min trek back home. This is usually when the drink runs out - or the fights start - whichever comes earlier!
10.00pm - all is quiet. Roaster takes dog for a walk before crashing with my favourite malt in front of the telly and maybe attempt to watch one my new DVD's. Though if I manage to remain awake I'll post a Xmas greeting on 606.
Usually have no idea at what time I awake down-stairs but will tootle off to bed and lie in bed till at least 11.00am Boxing Day (which involves me doing very little)! From about 12.10pm it's pretty much the same as Xmas Day - but round my house rather than me bro's!
