Christmas traditions.

[willywetegg]

Just sitting waiting for my son and his wife and my grandaughter arriving and made my usual Christmas morning drink. I always start Christmas morning with a large Rum Coffee as I won't be driving today, it started a long time ago and will probably continue for a long time too lol.

What are your Christmas traditions??

Jim.

Mine follows closely along the lines of Marks reply ,except the kids are older and I had to get THEM up at 10am , having just put the last of the dishes away it's time to wait for the outlaws to come around where we'll eat and drink some more ( not too sure where I'm gonna put it ) followed by falling asleep in front of the telly once they've gone ,usually with a glass of whisky by my side .

I tried a change of tradition by cooking a goose for the first time intead of a turkey, never again! I'd honed my best knife to perfection for the carving and got four nice slices off each breast. The rest was like hot rubber with cocktail sticks in it

lol Jim I always start with a brandy coffee with fresh cream

[willywetegg]

Graham, we recently got a cappuccino maker and it is great with an added drop of Something warming. For the sweet tooth Cointreau, Glayva or Drambuie. And for something with a bit of bite, Rum, Brandy or Whisky
