I guess it depends on your age and circumstances?, 10/15 years ago we would finish our xmas eve club night bout 4 am, get everyone kicked out, pay the Dj and ship him back to his hotel or more often than not ask him to climb down off the ceiling, strap him into a straight jacket (i could name someone here but i’d better not) and invite him to sit down wi us – crack open the champagne, invite our bolivian friend to join us at the table and have pretty much no recollection of christmas day at all apart from a never ending succession of house party after house party till sometime late on boxing night where we would slump into a self induced coma and wake up fresh n’ restored 4 days later for New Year.
Thank **** that hasn’t happened for quite a few years and we’ve all grown up a bit…..now it’s a case of a few drinks xmas eve at my mates pub, followed by a very nice n’ homely xmas round at my folks where i’ll have had a bottle of Veuve before xmas dinner followed by a decent wine then a wee snooze in front of the fire then maybe a bit of pudding, some decent port and sit n’ chat wi the parents and off out bout 10ish to mates pub for a few drinks and to meet up wi like minded folk and have a drink late into the night.
