Seeing the girls light up when they open their presents and eat some good food. Being with only people I genuinely like. Having time to spend alone in the "office" either experimenting with the computer or training on the driving simulator.Last edited by ThomasSoerensen; 11 December 2010, 11:29."Condoms should come with a free pack of earplugs."Comment

The first Christmas that I didn't feel obliged to spend at my parents was wonderful.Originally posted by norrahe View PostXma, just the two of you and everything the way you both want it
We organised everything around pub opening times and what was on telly. For Christmas Dinner itself, we carefully timed our courses so that we only had to hit the kitchen during commercial breaks.
It was also the first Christmas where we managed to organise a driving rota which everyone stuck to
