Subject: RE: BS: I hate Christmas
We go away every year
Hey Ho its off to Butlins for my wife , 2 daughters and me of course.
The children love going to Butlins or Pontins because there is so much to do, and everybody is happy and enjoy themselves.
Advantages of doing that are
We can drink as little or as much as we like
No Christmas Dinner to prepare
No relatives to argue with
Don't have to listen to the relatives going on about the past life
Don't have to listen to the relatives going on about how good they are
Don't have to play stupid party games like Monopoly, when all you really want to do is break wind or go to sleep after the meal
Lots of entertainment
No driving over Christmas
Oh we tend to buy all presents over the Internet, thus avoiding all the horrendous qeueus and getting home thoroughly knackered and still haven't got all the presents
I must admit, I don't like all the pre christmas hype, but I do love going away for Christmas
