Ok, looks like it's the prefect Christmas as it will be just MrsMac and I for dinner, no kids, which means I can play a little with the traditional, looking for ideas other than turkey, can be completely out of left field.

I'm volunteering to be a beater for one of the local Exmoor shoots over Christmas. There are about 70 shoots, and a neighbour who does it is having a word with one of the shoot managers.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostVolunteer at your local crisis/shelter. It'll be the best Christmas you have.
Good exercise, £60 cash in hand ("no tax please, we're British"), a decent meal, and a good piss up at the end of the day, where I can meet some possibly interesting locals (but probably end up blowing most of the £60!), and maybe a brace of birds to take home if for some reason the shooters don't want all of them.
