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
