Immediate family. Very immediate. A few waifs and strays we pick up along the way. Wii, lots of Wii. Depends how many firends come round during the day as to how much alcohol I have. I'm just a social drinker, you see.....

Reminds me of one of my fave Beautiful South lyrics, the first line......
He was just a social drinker but social every night He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four She was just a silent thinker, silent every night He'd enjoyed the thought of killing her before Well he was very rarely drunk but very rarely sober And he didn't think the problem was his drink But he only knew his problem when he knocked her over And when the rotting flesh began to stink Cry freedom for the woman in the wall Cry freedom for she has no voice at all I hear her cry all day, all night I hear her voice from deep within the wall Made a cross from knitting needles Made a grave from hoover bags Especially for the woman in the wall She'd knitted him a jumper with dominoes on So he wore it everyday in every week Pretended to himself that she hadn't really gone Pretended that he thought he heard her speak Then at last it seemed that he was really winning He felt that he had some sort of grip But all of his new life was sent a-spinning When the rotting wall began to drip

The gifts are under the tree. We don't celebrate Xmas, our families do though.

Christmas morning will be opening presents with the in-laws, then lunch over there, too. This is the second year of this for me, and there will be Christmas crackers, funny hats, and mince pies. It still seems funny to me because it's completely different from the Christmas that I grew up with.

Very English. There may be some hope for you yet.

We do cake with hidden coins in Greece, but for New Year's, not Xmas. We call it the Pie of St. Basileus, or, among people that spend their holidays outside Greece, Billypie

Paul did, didn't he? He won the silly plastic shower radio we bought for the occasion (Explanation: You put 1 coin in the cake, then cut pieces for everyone. The person that gets the coin in their slice win a prize and good luck for the forthcoming year).
