Spooky Holidays 2011/12

[Silktie]

This year I'll be spending Christmas with the folks, who live on a smallholding outside of the city. But we decided we don't feel like cooking this time and booked a lunch at a restaurant. All the women in the family are quite happy about that, while the men are grumbling that home cooking is always better. Well, yeah, except they never do any of the cooking.

We limit the amount one is allowed to spend on gifts to a ridiculously small amount, and donate the rest of the money we would otherwise have spent on expensive gifts to a charity of our choice. My local church also does a Christmas lunch for a nearby poor community that I contribute to every year.

I've been trying to think what Christmas movie I like, but can't really come up with anything, lol. I'm in the 'love it' camp of Love Actually though. The only thing that is required watching for me over Christmas is the Kings College Cambridge Christmas service broadcast.
