Whats everyone doing at Christmas?

[Hitcher]

Mrs H gets Christmas Day off this year, which is a rare treat. Most years I get to wave her farewell at about 2:00pm as she heads off to the "Jellimeat Factory".

We're doing the family-lunch-at-home thingee, together with some family friends. I get to make my Famous Trifle® and over-eat. Woo hoo!

If all goes well, Mrs H and I may get a chance to slope off later in the evening and have a wee fang...

I can't believe my luck this year, I've got 24,25,26,27 off. This is the first time I've had Xmas day off for years! Have to work new years eve though but thats usually heaps of fun anyway. We're having a family Xmas in the Naki.

I'm doing the "Grand Tour" of the North Island starting on the 27 December. Skyryder

You all drop us a line if'n your up our way, yer hear. Your more than welcome to stay at my place if your heading past Whangarei and on your way to Kerikeri or Kaitia. With a bit of lucky and planning I could make sure I have no work that day (self-employed), then "Roxanne" and I could show you the back roads up here.
X-mas: Lunch at Older Brother place, followed by "Clan Gathering" for dinner at Parent's place. No escape for me as I live just a 100m away (bugger, I wanted to go to the Cem Circuit MC Race too).
No plans for New Year yet (anything will do as long as it is not more family).

This is the first year I haven't had to rack my brains trying to find a present for my mother,or fit our visit to her around our other plans for the day.The strong whanau of my childhood has faded away,just one auntie left and I might ring some cuzzies at some stage just to let them know I'm still around.A day that is mainly about our family,although the eldest daughter will be going to OZ Xmas eve.We will have to make an appearance at the inlaws at somestage - I will be my usual beligerent grumpy self and pick a fight or make snide remarks to one of my brother in laws,then stomp off to be by myself for a while (which is all I really want) We buy so many presents for the kids that we have to spread out the giving over several days - it's not uncommon to hear me say...ho,ho,ho,merry day after boxing day,and hand out more presents.This is the 4th Xmas in a row we have spent in a different house,we get around....

My god Im not the only one with a completely mental family. I would love to say that everything will run like a well oiled machine as we move from one family function to the next. But it just doesnt happin like that. We have the obvious awkward moments where someone has said something that someone else doesnt know. Then theres the "Oh your leaving already" Followed by the pauses and mumbling of we off to the other partners family. So it ussually works out that I end up eating 2 Chrissy lunches and three dinners. Ussually I have offended one of the family, which I find out on Boxing day, WHEN it is all repeated. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

and being taught how to wakeboard shud be good!!

awesome is the wakeboard.... should be out doing the same, but ya have to watch them things I knocked myself out on one of them.... I'm used to sking behind a jet boat with little wake but that time I was behind the old mans Crusader with a large wake I got a tad too much air time up and landed nose 1st sending me head 1st into the drink....... still fun tho
