To stay at home, eating and drinking to excess, watch nonsense on the tellie, watch the carols from Kings College as a token gesture to religious observance, or, to go out and relax, enjoy a good healthy caving trip and wonder at the marvels of God's creation, assuming you are that way inclined?
You could then wrap the leftovers in a bit of foil and take some underground in your helmet the next day.Peter Burgess said:Give them Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve which is a day many countries hold more sacred than Christmas day.

Roast beef is a much more attractive prospect for Christmas dinner than turkey any day!Anne said:Brilliant - just got Hughie and the cows to convince now!
