What"s everyone up to over xmas

[threedogs]

As the title says , me I'll be staying home with my boys and the mof.
I hope to do some big trips next year if all goes to plan. [back]
anyway stay safe, enjoy and as the song says Love the one you're with

[mudnut]

Gunna have a heap of relatives coming here. Hopefully will get to the Otways to meet RLI. Planning to do lots of dune driving and fishing.

[Hodge]

Heap of family do's and BBQ's etc... Even though none of my family are religious, it's still a tradition we follow. Plus I'll have a few weeks off, so gonna spend lots of time with my little boy and finish some things around the house slowly prepping it for the potential sale.
Mate is also planning a trip to specifically go drive the blue rag track and since none of us have been up there before, if it eventuates it'll be blind leading the blind. So that may soak up 4-5 days for us.
Other than that just chilling out.

Were heading over east for nearly 6 weeks on the weekend, going to have christmas with my oldies for the first time in 11 years then mums 60th birthday so that will be like a huge family reunion for me, havnt seen anyone over there for nearly 4 years so it will be good to catch up with old mates and family.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Before Xmas, Stretch and I will hopefully do a trip up Dargo/Knockwood/Jamieson, somewhere up there for 2-3 days b4 chrissie, then camping in Yarrawonga Boxing Day to maybe the 10th.

[happygu]

Quick dash up to Sydney for Christmas .... back for a couple of days then up into the hills.

Not sure where yet, as it could be either Wonnangatta, a round trip including the Ingeegoodabie Track, or around Blue Rag at this stage ... ooh - the possibilities.

My mum and brothers are coming up, and besides that we will be packing the house up :)

[Winnie]

My aunties own a cafe so we go there and pig out for lunch, last year was the first time we have done it and it was so good, great food! Then I go up to Lakes Entrance the next day to see Dad and we have a seafood feast for lunch with all the family.

[rottodiver]

We were going to do a trip for 10 or so days but decided to go to monkey mia for the 10 days instead ( about 830 km from here) ...got a beachfront powered site, so will be setting the camper trailer up and waking up to the ocean each morning and just relax, swim,fish, kayak and drink and drink some more.... Will do a couple days of 4wding but mainly stay at monkey mia....New Years eve in the "monkey bar" one of the bars at the resort.....
Looking forward to the break... Hasn't this year just gone so so quickly....

I am home with the dog as the son and fiancé are heading south for Xmas with her family, I was going home but 2 days is not enough time as I like to give the staff Xmas off so I go in myself. I will probably cook us a weber roast, the dog loves her roast.
Hoping to organise these blokes over here to get out for a wheel over the Xmas new year break!

Two or three weeks off work in an aussie summer is great no matter what it's called on the calender:-).

Fly over and try a summer Christmas mate, you may end up loving it!

[04OFF]

You say that like it's a punishment?

Not a big fan of Christmas, mainly ‘cos all the extended family are all in the UK. Here it’s just the 3 of us, wife, son & me. This will be a strange christmas though, likely our last one at this place which has been our home for the past 18 years. We signed contracts (subject to finance) this morning, & expect to hear of the buyers bank’s approval by 20th December. (They had ‘pre-approval, just waiting for ‘formal’ approval now). Settlement date 23rd January, at which time we will become homeless!

you're not a fan of christmas because you moved away from your family? I dont get it? Ive spent a few christmas's with just me, mum and dad and i wouldnt give it up:)

[mudski]

As BA said I'm gonna spend a few days with him in Merrijig. Its gonna be a great break with old mate. Then a week later I am spending a week in Merimbula with the wife and kids. I'm not a big family man myself, apart from my own. I'd be happy to move far away and only see them once a year. Trying to convince the wife to make the move to Bright. I'm working on it...

[growler2058]

Wifes family coming to ours..............OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH joy Uncles, Aunties, Parents, Cousins, second cousins............................. cant wait

[pearcey]

Just me the missus and son for lunch then daughter son inlaw and 2 grand kids for tea
Not a big fan of Xmas apart from the catchup of mates for a few drinks but that looks uncertain at the moment.
Mind you lunch should be good as there will be Tassie Scollops ,Tassie brown and rainbow trout caught by yours truly on the menu, and washed down with some Hellyers road scotch. So allround a quiet one for me.

Just went for a drive tonight to look at the Christmas lights. Only. One house that was awesome so it was a bit disappointing. That being said we do not have any lights on our place... Hahaha

Yeh we don't bother with lights anymore, we used to have heaps, but they all got wiped out by a huge hail storm one year, insurance wanted a report from a lic Sparky before we could claim a cent, so I shoved the lot in the bin, and thought about all the time I will save every year now.:)


We now decorate the troll with tinsel n stuff for our xmas day trip instead , so we spread the cheer that way, missed a year due to the rollover, so have to make up for it this year :thumbup:

[TerrainTamer]

No partying for us! Back to normal working hours the Monday back! =)
