How many people are you stuck in the house with on Xmas day?

There's gonna be 8 of us round at my Mother's on Christmas day.More may be added though.The thing is she only has a bungalow and there's not enough seating in my opinion.

I' m gonna have to get totally blotted to cope with being couped up all day.I shall have a hangover from christmas eve too.

And there's absolutely nothing on telly

Aw well ... Merry Christmas i suppose

just 8 so far, but I don't put it past someone just dropping on in.

10 plus the cat and no doubt another half a dozen come 7pm! Smashing. Busmans holiday!

Just me and a friend (actually my ex, but who's counting?). Going to make dinner and drink champagne, should be a good day! :)

Drinking - fullstop - gets me through a rather frought day! However, a bit of assistance here and there wouldn't go amiss! That bloody cat, she never lifts a finger......

Just me, bro, mum and dog. Dog joined us at the table a couple of years ago(maybe last year)...no shit, we looked round and there he is ON A CHAIR...not going nuts at the food on the table....just sitting there waiting for his fookin plate. My ma was about to bater the poor bastard, but I told her to wind her neck in cos it was Christmas for him too....so we stuck a paper hat on his head and gave him a plate with some of the less choice bits of meat and some stuffing. He Ate it like a friggin poodle (he's mainly a Lab, but when asked what he is, the only anser I can accurately give is "black"...and he is NOT known for his eating manners in general). He then consumed a small bowl of custard (while we were still on our main course....I only told me mum to let him stay, not grant the bastard special dispensations), engaged in a fairly futile attempt at pulling a cracker with me, before the indignity of the paper hat finally wore him down and he legged it....didn't even ask to be excuse, OR offer to help with the dishes.

If anyone's getting all precious about a dog at the dinner table....twas a one off, I don't share my cornflakes with him in the morning or anything...and while he was there he did not fart, cough, sneeze (his party trick is a full face sneeeze...wanker...especially since I wear glasses), puke or lick his bollox.

And don;t suppose the good lady Wino is lycky enough that on her Christmas day, a day away from feeding endless 5000's....that she just has to clap hands and her offspring and spousal unit will fly to the tasks at hand, like so many busy bees?

Or does reality rule at your place and you cook your tits off for 7 hours, eat each course like a maniac so as to get the next one ready....then spend another several hours, undoing it all and laying out the drunk-buffet for everyone.... all to the glorious sounds of bickering relatives and warring young.

My old cat - Tom - in my avatar - ALWAYS had a place at the Christmas table - he'd eat his way through each course - but a typical cat, we would feed him bits and he always jumped onto the floor to eat it? Why do they do that? Our new puddy gets bits from the kids usually and carries it into the kitchen? What's that all about? Anway, I have a fab clip taken from nextdoors phone whilst I went away for a while and left them all to it; neighbours felt sorry for hubby and Tom and invited 'them' for dinner (mind you this was prior to them having a Rotweiller), and they have a clip of him climbing onto the table and eating a piece of steak, no less, from a fork! If I could work out how you put it on here, I would show you! Ah, animal lovers? Health & Hygiene - well, there was none in my Gran's day you know.......... (before you non animal lovers start.........!)

Bloody hell Steve, have you been to Christmas in this house before, and I just didn't notice? Cos my word, you have it spot on sweety!

Indeed Sir.

BTW I resisted temptation and didn't use a spoon!

We always make a nice Christmas plate for our pets, they even get their own pet gift stockings, though it's true they're no use when it comes to cleaning up! Ingrates!

Yeah I think I spent longer shopping for the mongrel's present than anyone's :D

well i was supposed to have gone down to Melboune, and there would have been about 10 of us there in the beach house on Phillip Island, but i didn't go. so its just me, which suits me fine right now.

The lovely Wino's impressive pussy. as a .3gp (WTF?) And as mpeg

Me and my 6 plus Mom and Granny. My sister as well. My aunt and uncle will be over for food. Oh yeah, my dog.

SO 12 humans, 1 dog (Mom's dog went to the hotel because it is not well behaved and stresses my mother) and 2 cats that will hide until 2 am until we leave.

Apart from the wording....... I may fall in love with you - but, will you still want to rub cream into the crevices in 10 years time?' you know, it's a pretty arduous task now, so I do hope love is blind..........!:)

I'm wicke with a tub of pollafilla :D

Twist, arm yourself, it's the only way you're getting through it alive. Come to think of it Wino, a salt gun might not be a bad idea for a "present to self" over at your ranch.

Probably between 25 and 30.....at my aunt and uncle's. Yes, they have a very, very big house.

About 7-9 of us this year..

My mom and dad. My sister. Me, my wife and our 3 kids.

8, then.

Me, my parents and my granny.
