No preparation at all.
Just gonna keep an eye out for presents from now, buy them as and when I see something good.

It's always a nice day, just chill at dad's place, eat meat and veg, watch silly TV, gorge on pringles and quality Street and pass out on the sofa from port consumption around 10.

We always get up early on boxing day,
As there is a daft mummers play, that tours the pubs in my dad's area. Usually half the local population is pissed again by midday and shouting at the shit Morris dancers to hurry up so we can watch the same daft play we saw at the previous 4 pubs. It's better every time as the cast gets drunker too.

We took the kids to see a mummers play in a tiny village near my folks' house last Boxing Day
Then one of the villagers brought round a tray of booze, which was nice.

They're technically Morris,
But I let them off because it's hilarious.
Our local is King George vs. The Turkey Snite (Turkish knight, lol racism) what did you see?
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Tue 29 Oct 2013, 10:38, Reply)

They do a local one called The Stoneleigh Play
It's just the right side of Morris to be acceptable.

There is no right side of Morris

There are also carol bell ringers,
Probably the shittest form of music ever. 9 middle aged women ringing bells that vaguely sound like silent night if you really try. Last year a local at pub number 4 fell through the bell table in the middle of "oh rest ye merry gentleman" the cheering could be heard for miles around.

Port sounds like a good idea. I might introduce that this year.

( Kroney, Tue 29 Oct 2013, 10:27, Reply)

I'm a big fan.
Sonehow last year we polished off nearly a bottle each, on top of all the day time beer and early afternoon wine.

I do love a nice port
Nice with a bit of Christmas cake and a slab of cheese.

Mmm ... port.
When I first stayed at with Mrs V's family for Christmas we got through nine bottles between four of us one evening.

The following morning wasn't pretty. Unless you think blood-red spew and an entire house full of people sounding like a WWI operation tent is pretty.

"mescaline"?

No just port
Maybe its just me and trippy isn't quite the right word to describe it but it get a bit slow motion from it and while my brain seems to be processing things correctly it is a bit disembodied from the rest of me.

I love it.
