Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 9, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 9, 2021 When I was a young lad, single and carefree in Australia at Christmas, was have a night barbie on the beach, as long as there was no fire restrictions. Get drunk as a skunk and skinny dip in the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pubs were hammered and the streets were busy with people going from pub to pub. For years it's just been dead. I've arranged a huge day out drinking with all my mates from younger on the 28th December. We have a WhatsApp group going and we have 15 of us so far all out for the day and night. Fully expecting those numbers to increase as times goes on. There is an Irish bar opened recently near where I live and we are going to book a few tables there and enjoy the Irish music.

Previous years we've gone to my wife's cousin's house to stay a few days after Christmas and inevitably the shot glasses come out. Last year was tame as we stayed home due to COVID.

Varies greatly because of regional differences and personal preferences. Only thing that it has in common is the main event on Christmas Eve.

For me, means stew in a sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, means stew in a sauce. Casserole here just means a mixture, usually with a sauce as the base. So green bean casserole is cooked in a flour/milk base (because all vegetables need some added calories) with a crust of bread crumbs or onion crisps on top in a 9x13 inch pan. A lot of folks use cream of mushroom soup instead of the flour/milk mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Christmas dinner at some riverside restaurant and then on the way back to the hotel unexpectedly stumbled upon an open bar and celebrated Christmas there with random people. It was quite fun as it was somewhat unusual, but not sure I'd enjoy doing it every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't done that for years, I think the wife is having a break this year from cooking Xmas dinner as our daughter has invited us around her place to have dinner with her and wee Kaiden...oh...and puddin, a little bit of chicken in a cats dish will do him.

We always start the year off saying this is the year we eat out and as the year progresses we decide to eat at my parents. Same again this year.

I remember a couple from work in their late 50s. Been married over 30 years. They'd always done Christmas with their kids and grand kids. They didn't believe in eating out at Christmas as they were on the old fashioned side. One year their kids were abroard over Christmas. They thought there isn't any point cooking for 2 so they pre-booked to eat out. It was a 4 course meal at £85 per head. They said the food was shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF was ok though we all agreed we preferred traditional xmas fare. Now I cook for my Dad which means no Brussels sprouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Only eaten out on Christmas Day once as an adult (did it a few times when I was a kid I think). I was far too hungover to enjoy any of it and was happy when they informed us that our time slot was up so I could go home to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy Posted December 17, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2021 Are dads the most difficult individuals to get presents for? It gets more difficult each year. And when I asked mine "Is there anything you might want?" I just got a "I wouldn't know what to get for me either." Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I asked mine "Is there anything you might want?" I just got a "I wouldn't know what to get for me either." Cheers. If anything we are the easiest to buy for... personally I am not much for presents so that makes it even easier, If I really want something and they are stuck I will normally pick something they can split the cost with between them so they only have to spend about £20 each but I don't encourage it... If I want something for myself I tend to just go out and buy it... I suppose in a funny way it's this piss poor uncooperative attitude that normally means I end up with socks every year... My youngest Chelsea is a bugger though, she puts a lot of thought into presents for me.. She got me a De-Walt double drill pack a couple of years ago and the whole kit set her back nearly £200 Love her to bits for that as I use it constantly around the place it's been a godsend compared to what I was getting by on previously but hate the idea she would spend so much money on me, I would rather she saved it for a rainy day..
